XJ looks awesome! Good choice on keeping it all white. You guys down south got it good, can't get much up here in the rust belt thats worth a crap. Great job on the bumpers also, really cleaned it up by adding below the rear lights..

They look great. I am debating whether to run 15x10 3.75bs or 15x8 3.75bs with my 33x12.50 baja claws...
