My Pocket Burner Build 88' XJ
well here is my post on my build over the years , it all started when my dad bought this cherokee to my older brother , and he said he didnt wanted that crap jeep he wanted a Honda accord , so they gave it to me...
this was the first week i got it , put some roof halos and front bumper halos , and painted the rims black
added some decals to the hatch and that was pretty much it until i saw what it could do on youtube...
this was my first off roading ..
this was done by a truck that got on the road without looking , so here came my first painting..
after removing the floor mat i discovered something really creepy , most of the floor of my jeep was actually the mat..
in this one you can actually see the through the floor
this one too...
so we removed the whole panel and put a new one
covered the wholes ..
and flexlined it ..
removed the crushed door panel and put a new one...
this is how it looked...
also painted the rear bumper and , darked a little bit the gray color...
add a bushguard and some kc style fogs
rims same color of the fenders , dark gray...
got this two door seels on ebay but ended up using one on the drivers door and the other one looked better on the hatch.,.
i bought the fake projector headlamp and add hid to the fogs , also add a hood scoop..
this where my 6000k hids on fake projectors..
add the ipod dock and dvd player with an alpine stereo i had...
got the jeep mud guards , had to buy them twice as my GSD seem to love the taste of them and rip them off and blacked out tail lights....
changed kc style fogs to amber and add a white one.
add clear corner lights..
scoop
then got into my head that i wanted a overhead console
found this glass holder don know from which vehicle so i add velcro and attached there , the only thing is that i cant use the emergency brake , but i never use it any way
this is the overhead just got to work the bulbs and the compass , didnt had the temperature sensor...
got some nice tires to go to the wild , as the ones it used to had where street tires...
add 4.5" RC lift
got some clear tail lights and put leds on them , look really nice
my rc shocks..
got a garmin gps and new stereo that suppors memory card , usb and aux..
changed all incandescent bulbs to leds to lower power consumption
here is the voltage meter i inserted below the clock ..
all leds
then hit a car and had to rebuilt again
fixed the side
then decided to go on matte black paint..
then got new tires the insa turbo extreme 235/75/15
here is the whole jeep
then decided to upgrade my headlamps to projectors , this are the old ones..
lighted on 55w 4300k hids..
this was the lighting

here is the projector i got , now i have to put them inside the headlamps...
this are the halo rings, it came with blue and green but i changed the green one for white
should look like this...
the projector on
decided to black out the headlamp , so sanded the chrome and painted black
this is how the halos look when mounted
this are the projectors mounted low beam..
hi beam..
mounted
got this vinyl from a friend so used it on my door handles
add dual scoop
then got 3 10" fan setup on new radiator...
tranny cooler
had to fix my wiper arms as i used the new michelin rubber wipers
add the new laredo emblem
this is how my jeep looks like right now
before!!
im trying to get some money to buy the 4.88 ratio gears , as my engine is a 2.5TDI , i already got 4.11 but need more power , thats pretty much it , im missing all the parts i have replaced and the broken hoses that i had to change , but thats part of the sport ....
