My old waggie
 

Hello! I have been meaning to do this for a while but...forgot lol ok! So about 6 months ago I scored this 1987 Wagg XJ for way cheep! Sat for a while, was immaculate! 24 years old, 119,000 miles on a 4.0l? Heck yes! Id be an idiot to pass that up! Best part is its a wagg! ( at least in my mind it is! Lol) I talked the folks down to 2,500 and drove home my new treasure =]

It needed basic 4.0 upkeep when I got her. Leaking valve cover gasket, thermostat housing leaking, stuff like that. A week latter I had my kc lights on her first up grade! Lol

My custom 25 dollar head liner lol and my kc light panel

Then came the best up grade! I finally got my 4.5" rust's off road lift, iON wheels, and 31x10.50 BFG's! My Jeep is a big girl now! ^_^

I wanted to personalize my jeep some so a paid a visit to a local vinyl shop. Got me alot o f decals for cheep! People love the fender alot! Lol

awesomeness

I went playing around and broke a tail light lol so I ordered some metal taillight housings from rust's off road. Stuffed some led semi trailer lights from work in there and some kc lights for reverse lights. Work great! And are super bright! Take that oem plastic breaking lights! Lol

I was surfing the local craiglist for Jeep parts, and scored a warn rear bumper for 250 buckoss! Primed it and sprayed it with bed liner material. And added a cb to the jeep!

Thanks bro I do what I can with what I got lol picture of her next to my other baby. A picture of those stupid bright back up lights. And! A picture of the off road game that keeps me busy when im broke lol

Two jeeps and im one man no wonder im broke all the time! Im quite excited I got the wagg registered for the Jeep jamboree coming up! Its gonna be my first one I hear they are a blast I can't wait, even my lady friend is excited!

dude ur nintendo still works?

Yeah. So dose the old Atari! =o lol gotta love the oldies!

hahaha go find a ps1 that works

Got one on top of my dresser! I actually just played it today :) I love the test drive off road ps1 series and driver 2. And can't rule out all the final fantasy s! Next pay day im gonna do the tie rod conversion kit rustys off road makes and hopefully some skid plates =]

ahahha

Yeah im a video game whore =p lol

when the new ones come out, i buy em and beat em in a weekend or two then never bother again...

I know what you mean, then your like I paid 50 bucks for this!? This was suppose to keep me busy so I could save up and buy more jeep parts!!! Grrrr! I must say tho fall out will keep you busy for a while, that's how I got my lift so fast Haha

yeah, the last gears of war... :/

2 things..sexy waggy:)

And if possible, can you PLEASE get better pics of hows those KC's mounted? Like inside the box & outside & possibly some better output pics?
I have 4" 10LED STT's from harbor freight for my stop, tail & turn signal, but have yet to find a good reverse..I've got the same exact setup as you..just 2 big round lights lol. Setting up offroad lights for reverse would save putting fog lights on my roof, and maybe I could have them on a switch to use at any time...
I am also running a 4LED 2" amber flush mounts on the side to keep it legal.

Thanks I think she's pretty sexy to lol you want to see the tail light kc lights right? I had to modify the rustys housings to get them to fit. Ill take some more pictures wed when im off work I gotta wire them in on a switch because I have a break in the oe wiring somewhere, sometimes they work, sometimes they don't! Lol

Also I have heard people say I should have side marker lights on those but I have been running them for quite a while and haven't gotten in trouble yet. ;)

I have similar housing..metal housings that is. I made my own out of 1/8th lol.
I bought rustys, they didn't fit the curve of the 1/4 panel..they were just a rectangle litteraly, and went straight down, while the 1/4 panel has a slight curve..so to get a better look I made my own.

What KC's did you use, like part number..gonna see if I can get a similar or even the same light.

My ambers didn't come in fear of the law. I prefer to not have them for a cleaner look honestly & less wiring! But because theres actually a study out that proves you have a 25% less chance of being side swiped when you have amber side markers vs red, and a 35% less chance than having none at all...I just googled it off of someone elses advice & decided it would be worth it.


But Ya pics of inside the actual housing, like how they fit & how they are mounted/secured, and how they sit flush on the outside.
Right now I have no reverse at all. I have my tail lights & amber corners. I used a 4" round for my tail, looks like you did the same.

Finally got my radio in, went with a kenwood excelon. Everyone I knew liked there's and turns out I like mine to! Sored the sound bar for $25 bucks about 2 years ago....for my last wag bit finally got around to doing something with it for this one lol I took the speaker guards off the oe hatch panel and bolted them down. ( dang hatch panel fell off all the time any ways....=p) stuffed the the doors,hatch and roof with Hertz high energy speakers. Woofers will come latter haha

My head liner is camo from the wallmart craft section it was way cheap! Lol my sticker/decal collection is growing……i hope its a good thing lol I had the decal lady change the jeep from a wrongler to a Cherokee because I drive a cherokee Haha

My only complaint with the sound bar is that there is a gap between the middle of it and my roof because my light isn't the same as the one it came out if I suppose?

My lady friend complained that with the windows down up front that the wind was smacking her in the face and making her long hair go every where! So I ordered these from Quadratec......softly after I found out they don't make the rear matching ones any more! Uncool Quadratec UN-cool!

As far as the tail light man, I haven't had a chance to get them off for pics yet but I will very very soon! Been busy getting stuff for the Jamboree. The brake/turn is a 4" led semi truck trailer light, and the reverse is a 5" kc Apollo series, same as on my roof. I mounted a thin sheet of aluminum to the bottom of the housings with 3 self tapping screws, then drilled a small hole where the bolt for the kc light would fit best with it being bigger than the hole, and that's that lol oh! On rustys off road's site they now carry 4" led kc reverse lights

Awsome your brake lights are the same as mine..I got the harbor freight version..10 led & same as yours.

If you get a chance, take a pic of how you did the reverse..My housings have a floor so to speak..which is what I think your saying you added?
So basically just fit the light & drill a hole like your mounting them on a bumper?

Any pics of those bad boys light up?

No I didn't mount them to the bumper, but I did have to remove a little of the plastic on the original jeep bumper so they would fit and look ok. Yeah I added a floor to the bottom of my housings because the kc lights needed a flat surface to screw down onto. Also I swapped the direction the bolt was pointing on the kc light base. So the nut was on top and not on the bottom anymore because when I tightened the bolt down when the bolt threaded down it stuck out to far and hit the bumper. See the silver bottom? That's what I added.

Aww ok, wonder if a Hella 500 would fit....I've got 4 sets of those lol.

Not sure, but ill get you some pictures of them lit up soon. Alto I kinda fail at life because they are long distance lights, and I feel if I would have had one set of driving distance ones that they would light up alot better lol

I have a few more ideas brewing. Gonna make a roof rack and add some more reverse lights on the rear, maybe some fender flares, and hopefully a locker for my dana 44! =3 been eyeballing the no slip power Trac s ones

Picture from the Ozark jeep jamboree!

Some more pics. Got the flairs started going on I won at the jamboree! Got some riddler diff covers ordered to they look tuff!
