There are certain things you do yourself in the driveway. This... Is not one I'd like to tackle. Lol.

Purdy wires.


XJ Pod is finally fully installed.


Just gotta put this back in it.

And that's all I've got pic wise for now. I'll probably post moar tomorrow.
is it weird that I have the same amp?
I dont know where it came from and I have never seen another lol
Maybe its an older walmart one, someone gave it to me and its just been sitting ever since.
Your build looks good by the way. I am pretty impressed.

That's not weird... I actually got mine off of ebay. Refurbished and $30. Couldn't really go wrong. Lol.

I did some stuff. Basically, I just made my GC steering wheel retrofit work better. And my dad tightened my driver's rear endcap for me. Still trying to figure out how to make the blinkers self cancel...

My way of staying cool on incredibly hot days. An epic fan and some instant shade.

MOAR UPDATES!!!!!!

Got my cowl induction thingymajig mocked up. There aren't any hose clamps on it because my dad ordered the wrong hose clamps. You'd think that a 3" (or 4") hose clamp would be for 3" (or 4") silicone. BUT NOOOOOO!!!! (fyi, I'm sitting on top of the engine to take these pics. )

I also took a video of my sound system with the sub and amp all hooked up. It sounds distorted because the mic on my cellphone is absolute garbage. Lol. Time to look into buying a Zoom H2n.
And... Youtube took an absolute dump on the quality and made it sound even worse than it did coming from the raw file. #ragemode.

Oh well. Just enjoy the song. Lol. Staind - Now. (the sound coming out of the speakers and sub IRL is actually pretty darn close to the quality of music video that I linked).

Any update on the Supercharger install? Very curious how you ended up handling the fuel management.

Still waiting for a couple key components to get here. But here's a video to occupy everyone in the meantime. Lol.


Homebrew cowl induction intake. (you can also hear a little bit of the supercharger whine)


Going to take the Cherokee to a shop on Monday to have the water pump changed out and I'm also going to have them install my Rubicon Express trackbar.

Believe me. I am as eager as you guys are to take this thing into boost. Multiplied by about a billion. Lol. This will be me soon>>>

**edit**

It looks like I might be getting a black Orvis roof spoiler from England soon.
