Thanks man, I hear it is very costly to have a sick XJ in the UK considering the gas prices. A buddy of mine from Bristol says its about $12 a gallon, thats ridiculous. Thanks for the compliments, and as for the black - I love it but the maintenance is a little tedious. We also have a white one, much much easier to take care of and good looking as well.

 

Looks to me like your running a spacer in front...Just from looking at your album. You might actually be netting closer to 4" with it up front...

 

Stumbled across your LED how to in the write ups section and thought I'd check out your build. Awesome XJ! I've been looking at trying to replace some of my interior lights with LED's and really was not looking forward to having to figure out which ones I was going to need. Thanks for posting that up! I ordered enough to do my gauge cluster and HVAC controls in blue.

Keep up the good work.

 

For anyone wondering whats been going on:

haven't really been taking any pictures lately, but heres the update.
Added 4 Baja lights on a Carr roof rack to the roof
Put the following LEds in the front Hellas and the 4 Bajas:
These have 68 LEds in each and are 6000k white.

Added a full size spare to the roof. I got 1.5" RC wheel adapters for all 4 wheels. (not on picture)
Installed Rugged Ridge tow hooks on the front.
Tinted the front headlights for the "angry eyes" look.
Upgraded my head unit to a much better, on board USB one.

Also (yeah another LED upgrade) I swapped the under-hood light for an LED strip. I have a mercury tilt switch to replace the OEM tilt switch. They light-up the entire engine bay very nicely.

 

how did you do the black on the head lights ive been wanting todo that to mine just havent thought of or found a logical way of doing it, also if you dont mind me asking about what did all the LEDS cost to convert all of them?
Thanks nice build!!!!

 

I removed the housings and taped off the areas I wanted black. I then used "VHT Nite Shades Spraytint" and tinted it so that during the day it looks like that and at night it allows some light to come through but still gives the angry eyed look.

As for the LEDs, I don't have an exact price unless you meant just the H3 baja/hella lights. They were $5.99/pair. $17.97 for all 6 from HERE.

 

looks amazing man awesome job!

I will definitely use your write up to upgrade some lights

 

Thanks, gotta love them lights.

 

 

As some of you know I had an issue having 1.5" spacers with my lift, backspacing, and tire size. So, I found a chance and went for it. Here is what I'm getting: HERE

 

 

When you put your hids in were you still able to turn them off with the light switch, I put my ii/low kit in last week and I have to turn the key off to get the headlights to turn off

 

Matter, great Jeep, exactly what is it you love about the rain guards?

 

Theyre nice because they act as sun visors because they are tinted so you can see through them but it prevents the sunlight from blinding you. Also its nice because on a rainy day you can still have your windows cracked to get some fresh air/ cool wind. Also theyre nice because you don't need to worry about bird crap, acorns, etc. falling inside.

 

Subscribed man, please keep updating. Identical to what I'm trying to set up. Couple of questions...

Do those smoked corner signals put out a good amount of light? They look like they do.
And are the LEDs in your brake lights / blinkers brighter than the stock bulbs?
