I now have a stupid yen for a purple XJ. Probably cheaper to get my perfectly good stone white painted than buy a second XJ....

Okay, I lied. Back of the envelope estimate from a local shop for the paint job: 4-6k. There's a purple 99 in Denver, only 1700 miles from me. Anyone want to go check it out for me?

As some of u know, I have been selling injectors on the forum for years. Lately I was too busy to sell anything so I had some 784's laying around. (Obviously wouldn't be compatible with this jeep). I posted them up for trade and I ll be getting ford 700 injectors. Gonna be interesting to try them out and see what happens.

Got an old S-10 rear bumper from a friend. He had it on his chopped XJ, but he cut the mounts off cause he's building a bumper for himself. So I gotta fab up some mounts.

Wow alright there's been so much stuff being done, I ll need to post up pictures when I have time.

I ll just list some of them on here so I won't forget.

-complete black interior swap
-steering box spacer from Creepy Fab
-removal of aftermarket alarm system
-found that NSS is bad
-ZJ seat swap (front for now, rear later)
-ordered 3" led cubes with amber len covers
-picked up another header panel (need paint)
-did the 7 slot switch panel with ext idle
-cluster led upgrade
-other stuff that I probably forgot.

Not sure if I should keep the 120 mph police cluster with PCM or sell it. What do yall think?

I kinda want to do a TJ cluster swap but let's see.
