Looks good. I'm surprised it come with a hawse fairlead and not a roller fairlead since it's cable. I will say though, I have had my Mile Marker for less than a year and I already crushed part of the cable (probably when I got stuck at Covington Pike after that 4 Wheel Parts event, or when I pulled out a Z71 buried on the frame, most likely the Z71 though since that was the furthest I have pulled out the cable.) so make SURE you always re-spool the cable neatly after every use. I did re-spool it, but I didn't get it neat enough one time. The crush on my cable in near the end so I hopefully don't have to worry too much, but I still need to watch out and start looking for another cable.

And I'll still be around, hopefully getting a place towards eads soon.

Yeah, I doubt any cheap winch cable is that strong. I't might of been more my fault though because I had the cable all scrunched up in the corner and still pulling, idk. But I know Mile Marker, even their electric winches, used to be good (all around). But the newer models that use the mosfet solenoids (like mine) and not the regular old school solenoids aren't as good in quality. But what can I say, I got it for free off a video contest Mile Marker had (plus a lot of other Mile Marker winch accessory goodies), so I'm not complaining. And the fact I have used it about 5 times in the 7 months I've had it, only twice for me getting stuck) I think it's worth it, even with a crush on the cable.

They are the only glass projector housings for the cherokee I was able to find anywhere, they came with 5.9k xenon bulbs, and from the same website I ordered a 6k rs type dual hid kit. Best headlights I have been able to find, and only glass ones available.
I had the link saved on my old computer, but haven't been able to find them again.

Couple of goodies for the xj

And finally finished my switch plate. I wired my stuff to the oem switches, rear wiper hasn't worked in a while and I have 2.5% tint on the back glass, so the defroster was pointless to have.
A pillar lights are on the factory fog switch
Electric fan is to the ext idle switch
not sure what I'm going to so with the 3rd one yet. May do the extended idle and wire that to the ext idle switch and get a fan switch, or might just get another fog switch and put an led bar on it.

Lucky, those diff covers are used, right? Where did you get them from and how much? I've been wanting to at least get a rear cover... I want to get rid of that stupid rubber plug in the rear cover, it's a new plug (about a year old) but I'm always afraid that one time when I pull it out to check the level, it'll rip or tear. Plus I doubt it seals as good as a bolt. Nice at finding that panel too, I just added the ext idle with a rocker switch (about a year and a half ago). It defiantly comes in handy with charging, AC during summer while idling, and worming up the motor in the winter.
Though the charging is not as good as it was now that I had to get a new Napa alternator, I'm going to probably take it back. It doesn't charge worth a crap compared to stock. Do you still have the one you had? Is it the stock one? I'm going to see what Napa says today when I ask if this is how this one works or if it is a defect. If it is how it works I might want the one you have, if it's stock.

I was more worried about getting a front diff cover since I'm out in ruts messing around half the time, was scared that I was going to slide off and dent the stock ones. But I got both for a good price.
I have another switch panel with 3 holes if you want it to get rid of that rocker switch for something that looks more oem. As for ext idle on mine, only thing I would use it for is winching. Big black aint got ac :smh:
And yeah I still have it, it's stock as far as I know. And if you want my stock covers to have as backups, let me know. Rear has a new rubber plug.
