Hey man, thanks for following my build. I swear I've read yours ten times, I guess I've never left a comment for you, though.

You have a very nicely built Jeep. Simple and clean, the way a daily driver should be. I would definitely paint your flares, maybe even the bumpers too (if you haven't already).

Found this thread, but there aren't any XJ's your color. I've always liked that look. Good luck if you do!

Thanks man! I appreciate the following. I really don't have much that people can comment on just because its a slow build right now with grad school and work. Plus winter comings so.... But hopefully i get some christmas presents for the jeep and that will add some.

I guess Ill put my christmas list up haha.

Yeah I do want to paint the flares, and the bumpers as well. I think that would look the best. Just need to find some time and money for that too.

Not boring at all, man. Looks great! Little bit at a time, that's how it is for most people. Only reason i had the money for the lift, tires and wheels was because i sold my WJ.
