Yeah, but two LEDs weren't working. A I did was test it. I'll go out and get a pic of the light output of the new one tonight

Tried to get a picture with the bar sitting on the hood (and my dad's car parked in front of me)... Didn't work too well and I burned out my gator clips. Gunna have to wait until I mount and wire it to get some pics lol.

And the 50 that's already mounted comes on with the 20 and 10. Lol. It's freaking bright. That's for sure.

BWAHAHAAHAAA!!!! That's funny. Talk about small world. I'm legit 5 minutes away from mainstreet Yardley. You know where Shady Brook Farm is? PM me if you want to see my XJ in person.

I bet we've probably driven past each other lmao. My Jeep should be pretty easy to find driving around now.. Just look for the lightbars and the BOOST XJ license plate haha

And if you ever wanna go wheeling, you could always tag along with me and my friends when we go out.

Where'd you get the 50" LED light bar? Sounds like a good company to do business with.

I'm sure we've driven past each other at least once, but until I came across you're thread I just never paid too much attention to other jeeps in that area.

Who doesn't know where shady brook is? You can see that place from 95 around Christmas...or the space station for that matter.

I appreciate both those offers to, I'll just have to see if I can talk my girl into 1. Letting me go drool over another guys jeep for a bit and 2. Go wheeling. Well she can stop me from number 2, but were usually together on the weekends and lets just say that she cried last time we went out. Silly city girls.

Now if only it didn't take me so long to actually reply to what you posted, I'd be golden

Not much. Gotta just do some maintenence items to my Jeep lol.

I'd like to put the new lift kit on when it thaws out though. Kinda hard to do anything when I keep getting hit with snowstorms every week... *sigh* Must.Get.Heated.Garage.With.Tons.Of.Room.For.Wrenc hing.On.My.Jeep.


Oh yeah. I'm planning on driving my Jeep to the Easter Jeep Safari in Moab. 2100 miles to get there and a solid week of wheeling. Also going to meet up with Rick Rimmer (and Bbucha too I think) and also take a tour of his shop in Colorado Springs. Lets just say that I'm more than just a little bit excited. Lmao. Okay... I'M REALLY FREAKING EXCITED!!!!!

Iirc you're talking about what FringeXVO does lol. I already have a Transgo shift kit in my AW4... My trans only hates life a little bit which isn't bad since it has almost 200k on it lmao. I'm just going to keep beating it into the ground with my current power level until it dies, then I'll look at my options a little more seriously haha

Since this Jeep is my daily, I'd like to keep it autotragic, so a manual swap (ax15 or other) is out (i dont like driving a manual in stop-and-go traffic). Although putting a T-56 tranzilla in would be fun... Haha.(they now make the transzilla to have a transfer case bolt onto it). If I did anything I'd either look for someone that sells built AW4s (I think Boostwerks has a "built" AW4) or try and upgrade one with upgrades for a Toyota Supra automatic trans (a340 iirc). Or look into swapping to a 5, 6, or 8 speed auto trans out of a newer Chrysler product (like an SRT8 Grand Cherokee).. Lol. And swapping a SRT8 trans in sounds like a good idea since I know that it could handle any power I'd throw at it even in stock form..

And I saw the Jp/505 Performance "Insane Inline" article lol. 5.0 turbo stroker on a full standalone is a little too much for my blood. Rather just do a forged/fully built 4.0 with my Sprintex kit and maybe some sort of twincharged setup (whether it be a turbo or another [centrifugal] supercharger) and keep my OEM ECU running the n/a side and the Split Second box/7th fuel injector so I can still pass inspection easily.

yeah good points i kind of had a feeling you were an auto guy im not sure but maybe theres a way to swap in a gm tranny like a built 4l80e or th400

and i suggested the insane inline cause it had some good ideas for getting power out of the inline
