Thank you.

Im thinkin about putting a kargo master safari rack up there.



And incase anyone was wondering, the front end got a little make over.

I put in a new grille and headlight bezels, after doing some paint work behind the grille. Then painted the bumper with texture paint and the bumper corner pieces with semi-gloss paint, both front and rear.

I also fab'ed up a little light bar for the front and put on some 6" Hella 500's but then changed my mind and got a deal on some PIAA 510 SMR Lights, and though a smaller light housing, they put out a far better light.

And lastly, i got a set of Rampage glass lense H4 conversion headlights in there.

Welcome to CF. Great build, gotta love a black '97+ XJ, and that two tone interior is definitely sweet.

Where were those last set of wheeling pics taken? I am in Oregon as well and looking for some places to take my XJ off road. I am right in Portland actually so I might have to check out your shop, sounds like you guys sell some good products. I would love a RE lift...

Those shots are at Sandlake, on the tillamook coast.

Then about a week ago i went up into the Clackamas forest out past Estacada, and that was a real nice area to go wheel.

Feel free to stop by and see us at our shop. M-F 9-6 and Sa 9-4

anyway you can post some pics of how those weathertech floor liners fit in your Jeep . Im thinking about getting them but considering the price i would really like to see the fit first .

also , with your headlight conversion ... did you have to wire a balast under your hood or are they plug and play ?

THANKS !
