Pretty pumped about these.
Replacement headlights (plug and play) for the XJ from High Beam Offroad. These are not yet available on their website. I was super stoked to be able to get my hands on them.
The light output is absolutely INSANE and the cutoff is perfect. Plus, they look pretty damn cool. They require a bit of tweaking to get them to fit as they are pretty big, but all in all a very easy install.

These require that spacers be placed between the headlight bezel and bucket as they are about 3/4" thicker than stock headlights (they have large heat fins on the back)
They look sick, and work better than I ever expected:

The cutoff picture I uploaded was with the jeep on an incline pulled half onto the curb beside my house.

Alright, so bringing this thing up to date..
Headlights are absolutely kick ***..
Did some routine maintenance, my choice oil:
Fall finally decided to kick in so took some random pictures:
Went out and actually wheeled, it hasn't rained here since March, so its a bit dusty...
Post wheeling inspection, getting ready for frame stiffeners:
Few weeks ago I found a MINT overhead console for cheap, so I bought it (however it came with no harness or mounting bracket):

Decided buying an 00 Limited 2wd XJ was a good idea...
I literally bought this jeep to steal the interior out of and resell. The driver door is KO'd, along with that section of the rocker panel...its easily fixable...the hinges and both A/B pillars are fine.
I have essentially gutted it of all the limited interior pieces and swapped them over to mine, super nice factory black leather FTW

So pumped to get this stuff in the XJ, rear leather is essentially perfect:
Old cloth was near perfect...no stains/tears:
Old vs new

Will have to get better pics of the front leather, but I was in a hurry to get everything buttoned up

Woodgrain FTW
Factory Tweeters FTW (on the for sale forum and eBay):
Flying first class now with the leather, headliner has been dropped off at the upholstery shop for recovering in charcoal grey...then to install the OHC.
