Project: COOTER's XJ 2001 lmtd.
your rig's looking fantastic. i love how well it cleans up. i was thinking about putting the leds on the A pillars but hadnt seen it done on an XJ yet, any chance you could take a front shot with both lights in it but with them off? also, is there much glare off the hood from them?

Looks great, I'm fixing to get me some of those Xtreme LED Lights too. My Hellas are cracked and I can get 4 of them for the price if the Rigid LEDs. Put some on my pillars and my bumper and get some of the small flat ones for my reverse lights. Then later on get a 20" or 30" for the top of my brush guard.
Lucky you were able to find some DC-1s, I would trade my DC-2 for DC-1s any day if I could find some, wish they still had them when I got my wheels. I want to be able to put rock rings on my wheels and the DC-2s they took out the bolts.

Yeah I was stoked when I found them, love my rock rings.

Yeah LEDs are. I did my gauge cluster lights, sifter/4x4 lever, and under dash lights Blue about a year ago but since then, I've started to like Green a whole lot more (plus it goes with my Jeep better). So sometime soon I'm re doing all my dash and interior lights Green to mach my marker lights and Rock lights. Then I'll probably do my tail lights. LEDs are just so much better and more efficient. Especially good if you run your lights for extended periods of time without the motor running like me. I don't know how many times I've almost run my battery down using my lights at night (did it once, never again, good thing the battery was under warranty- Free!). Now I only leave my light on for about 20min or so then crank the motor. LEDs don't have that problem, you could run them all night with little to no battery drain.

looking good man.. I too, am addicted to the LEDs. I have 6 round LEDs going on my roof rack this weekend and have a 12" bar custom welded to my bumper. With the HID headlights, and the LED aux lights, you can't go wrong
No, I don't lick fish.

looks great man... what did you do to seal up the holes? Marine-grade silicone works great - that's what I used to seal up the hole I drilled for my roof lights.

Pictures are out of order... on my app since im in the process of moving. but Little update:
got the jeep a lil muddy
And scrapped the blue xj and got enough money to finally order a winch! Went with the superwinch lp8500. Hope it does me good.
Also tinted my cargo windows 2.5% and added some led strips. Alot brighter at night, looks good.
And a little teaser shot of what's to come in the future
axle rebuild time.

Thanks man. And mixed feelings..... I just wish it was more reliable. I'm moving and I'm gonna have to be driving it on the interstate frequently now... Just praying it doesn't give up on me.
Thanks man! Get rid of those flares and hack it up. That's a first... Hearing someone that likes km2s, on my second set and hate them. Taking off my roof rack was the best decision, just not my style. All personal preference.
