-loose steering
-terrible head lights!(got some 12 dollar sylvania head lights, pretty bright!)
-driver side wiper is pretty loose
-rear wiper doesent work
and a couple other things

So first thing i did when i got her( of course) i went offroading!





i then soon found out the hard way not to go offroading alone. Sorry for the pics is was really dark out but thanks to Bimmer_2002, he had to find me in the forest but he got me out!

The first thing i had to fix was the passenger floor. turned out my whole floor is rotting but there are no holes yet in the back or in the trunk i bought a new floor i took the green crossmember(not sure if thats what its called) from a zj in my shop that was going to the scraps.


My friend tac welded it and i used urethane to fill the all the cracks.

hahaha thanks jeepstr52, but i fine it looks so much better with mud on it! (but Gf hates that tho so i gotta wash it every once in a while)

oh yeah heres a pic of the day after i got stuck

jeepstr52

mine used to like mud to but it sucks to clean it. and then when u gotta get under it to do anything u always have thats stuff dropping in your face

LostAsianXJ

thats true lol, every time i would take my jeep out of the shop i would have a pile of dried up mud to sweep

LostAsianXJ

Then i fixed the hole i had in my rocker


didnt take a pic of the welding but here was the finished product

and i also took off my side trim molding things


Looks sooo much better without
and this may not all be in order of what i did first

Power73

looks alot better with the moldings off! i did the same with mine. want to sell your bumper end caps? ill buy em! haha

LostAsianXJ

well one of the rear one is scuffed up pretty bad(looks like it came from a red xj,
and i haven't taken on my front ones yet. maybe in a week or so i can sell them to you if you want

Power73

no hurry man. just have been looking for a set. just send me a pm if you want to get rid of them

LostAsianXJ

here are couple stock flexing pics




and heres my interior setup, still need a cb antenna. Do you guys have any suggestions for any antennas?





got some leds from MTLXJ (the cameras making them look like purple but their not)

djcallao

Good job so far! Nice rig

Power73

do you like the leds? im thinking about getting them. do you think they are worth it?

LostAsianXJ

Thanks!

my old lights were terrible, i hated not being able to see so i had to get new ones, and yes they are worth it, one led is almost as good as my 4 old map lights lol
