so sad but so true. my gf and i were Xmas shopping the other day walking out to her car and there was a red xj parked on a snow bank where a spot was plowed in and i was like "that guy is definitly a jeeper" and she looked at me and said "you know your going to get another one for a daily driver..i just know you will" and she smiled.
shes a keeper
shes a keeper

Ha very lucky shes ok with it. I told my girlfriend I wanted to keep the jeep forever and she wasnt too happy ha.

i swapped the sound system from the xj to the zj and scored a 15" kicker cvr sub for cheap from a friend..hits hard!! as for the xj, im trying to figure which would be better..to buy another and swap parts or put money into this one. my current xj needs motor mounts, possibly an engine, clutch, pressure plate, front driveshaft, front wheel bearings, and the unibody is tweaked so im not sure..just trying to find a way to get it up north right now.
wow been awhile since i updated this..lets see what ive done since. got under lights, new sound system, rack back on, light bar, new rims for my DD tires and im sure theres more..some pics

trail tires! 35x12.5 BFG KM2s


put my new hatch on

riddler cover

also have a SOLID cover on the D30
rims

got these sliders, IRO premiums that came off the IRO XJ


then came the JCR tail light boxes. smashed out 4 tail lights already wheelin haha

LED kit too

then the PO PO gave me a fix it ticket after 5 warnings about tires sticking out. oh well, rustys flares!



and this is a pic of where she sits tonight. wire wheel crapped out taking the herc off the drivers side..gonna finish that tomorrow, put the flares on and take her out for some pics.
i sold my Nates 4x4 bumper and am gonna order a winch bumper.
also coming by July: IRO long arms, SYE, brake lines and HnT SYE. the other day at u-pull i scored a gas tank skid, need to get my new tank in.
also, my JCR bumper is off. me and a buddy are building a swing out tire carrier on it!
lots of stuff all at once coming up! stay tuned!
