Recently redid my headliner not so much out of necessity, just wanted to finish off the dark interior of mt jeep. cost like $50 to do it all. The visors were stained and slightly torn, but the headliner had been done just before I purchased the jeep. kinda hard to redo a non-saggy headliner. Anyway done now and I'm happy. kinda hard to take pictures of that.

Can't really modify it much for all the repairing I've been doing. Everything seems to just keep breaking.

Forgot that I had put in heated seats, and made myself a lighted CB antenna so I can show it off and maybe sell some to friends and stuff Highschool budget 1999 xj build-image-3167405356.jpg
Oh and the only reason the lights a little uneven is because I put that spray tint stuff on it so the antenna would still look black during the day, and some if it got chipped off so it shines brighter in places.

Redid the front, well technically top of my sub box because it had been used a lot and didn't seal well anymore, and I swapped my Rockford fosgate p300.1 mono block for an alpine m650 mono block. Highschool budget 1999 xj build-image-1238644810.jpg

I work my butt off and find good deals, I can't help it. I'm a senior in highschool working and taking college class too. I do landscaping, moving, auto repair, you name it I'll do it as long as it's moral and legal. I'm not picky about work. If I'm getting paid to sweep the floors I'll sweep the floors.

Edit: Also thought I should mention that other than working on my jeep, going to school and working I don't really do anything else. So I save a ton of money not having friends to hangout with.

Should've added that the m650 was free from a friend. Only reason I replaced my p300.1, would've left it till I blew it if this opportunity didn't come up.

Wow dude I have major respect for you. I'm a senior in high school also but I am just out of work because my last job was seasonal and I'm talking to my friends mom because she offered me a job for writing on social media and forums for the tire and wheel company she works at here in Cali. So basically that means discount tires and stuff. But this is Los Angeles and people are fighting for jobs and it's hard to find something to work for my schedule because I am also on a volleyball team. But you are doing something great man. Major respect to your determination and perseverance.

no such thing as out of work for me. Always find something else to do to make money. If you really want to make the money you can. Post stuff on Craigslist, make stuff to sell, tons of options.

Thanks!
Here's a list of what I've got.
the speakers were $50 a pair for 6.5" speakers all 4 corners, no modification to mount them just drill mounting holes
$90 for sub and box
Mono block first one was $40, the one I run now was free for working for someone
$100 for the 4 channel amp for speakers
Traded for the wiring
$100 for the headunit
So I have like $340 in it all
I'd expect around $400 if you have to buy everything.
Oh and the speakers, 4 channel and headunit were all new.

Put a no-slip locker in and a solid differential cover on the 8.25
