My 2wd 1998 XJ
 
yea it kinda sucks its 2wd but hey it was a gift :D I never go offroad but said what the hell lets do it, and to my surprise I didnt get stuck (maybe cause i got some decent offroad tires for the back), even tho the place wasnt all that muddy I had some fun, I might do it more often. Also my bad if the pics go to another section of the forums still new around here :P and hello from puerto rico :)

She is mostly stock, I have only changed the sound system. would like to do a lift kit in the future, paint the bumpers and rims and maybe a locker for some occasional fun.

you could always sell it and get a 4wd. dime a dozen and cheap. just a thought. looks good though

So the other day I went to a Jeep show and got some lights for 25$ (the pair)
http://i1191.photobucket.com/albums/...4/IMG_2206.jpg

began by taking off the grill, making the holes for the mount

then I mounted the lights

and to power them up I just hooked them up to the fog lights below

I wish I could do this build faster but being at university full time makes it a bit hard.. lift kit should be coming in early december after my bday on Nov 24 :)
