Default My 96 xj build!

Whats up guys!? I'm a new member here, and new to the whole jeep game! But anyways I just picked up xj and am pretty happy with it! I bought it for 500 bucks. All it needed to run was a battery. And another bad was the windsheild but I can deal with that for 500. It did come with a kenwood deck, 1000 watt kenwood amp, and a 12'' type R.

But since i've had it I put a new battery, changed all fluids, new sparkplugs and cap. Also I pulled all the trim off and sanded it down and painted the bottom, along with re-doing the grill. And cut vents in the hood. Ive done this in the 6 days i've had it.

I will keep updating as I get stuff done on it!

The day I got it.
