my first jeep build
i probably should have started this months ago when i actually started building. well i bought my first jeep 8 months ago. i was really lucky. i tow for a living and one of my tows was a 2000 xj sport that the kid wanted to trade into the stealership for a new civic. short story long they wouldnt give him anything for it. i said 500 and he bit on it. so i scored a mint condition with an overheating problem. flushed it out real good and replaced the thermostat and now its perfect. sweet
cant seem to find a pic of it unmodded.
i had it laying around so it was my first mod. yakima loadwarrior with an extension in it. mounted on that was my hi lift and shovel
next came fog lights and cb and antenna
needed recovery points to go wheelin with my club plus i know ill have a winch at some point in time so i got these babies. painted them with rustoleum bedliner
painted and installed
found a set of 31" 11.5 swampers wrapped around american racing rims there beat up but the price was right
they dont fit right without a lift as you can tell since my flares are missing
but they look bad a$$
that inspired me to place the order for this
and some pics of it goin in
and done with the install
looks funny in small tires

and thats how she sits today

Here's a write up on trimming the rear, was pretty helpful to me. Although...I don't have the best hands for the job..
