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.

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!
Those under lights look sick man! how did you mount those/ what light kits did you use? i just put a 5 light bar on my XJ and was kickin around the idea of under lights, and after seeing them on your rig.....ITS A DONE DEAL!! lol

Thanks.
