Haha thanks, but yeah.. I'm starting to think that the 4wd swap is gonna be to expensive in the end cause it's the trans and t/c plus all the labor and other parts that might have to be replaced. I've always loved tj's so its not a bad time to sell her plus some money I got saved up and buy one

Definitly dont sell it... Let me know when you get that socket and we can find some time to do the bushings and brakes. You gotta go wheeling with us next time we get the jeep togethor out there.

Yeah I did but it had many small problems like, loose exhaust, oil leaking, weird sounds on the front end, dents, no spare tire, plus the guy didn't want to go down on the price

yeah I think I made up my mind today, probably gonna get a locker and a 4.5 lift from Rough Country cause my xj is honestly like new and the trans got repaired in July 2011 so it would suck to get a used one and maybe have it break down. Plus I won't sell her cause its been in my family since 1998 and it's got a lot of history

Keep it! You should stick with 2wd and go jeepspeed style!

Nice build btw. It's definitely cool to see other parts of the world. I wish I had a cool tile floor to work on! Lol

Got HIDs today, awesome upgrade makes a worlds difference

Kit was $60 at a local shop plus some relays I got, now I'm looking for a projector housing to have a better pattern and less glare





Maybe something like this
