Awesome! You are my kind of people! lol. No worries about the long explanation. I like to hear this stuff. Looks like I'll be on Facebook a little bit more now!
I'm the same way though. I LOVE my XJ. It's not perfect, but it's mine. My girlfriend always tells me how I love my XJ more than her, and in a way I kinda do. My XJ never lets me down, and doesn't ***** at me when I forget to take out the trash, and best of all... I can ride her as much as I want!!!
Thanks again! As you already know, I'll be following, and hope you follow mine once I get it going.

On a build related note, I was planning on picking up an S10 steering box, but I may have just come into a deal for a barely used AGR box that is too good to pass up.

Just bought the AGR box for $115 shipped. Took a little bit of a gamble since I couldn't see it in person, but it's $500 new so I'll take a chance. Looks good to go.
By the way use promo code CMOTORS616 for $20 off any auto part, accessory, or tool on ebay until the 24th

Nice little haul today to add to the stockpile
Ditched the red Flatlink for a grey one and Synergy C-gussets

Battery cable upgrade from XJwonders. Very nicely done. Thanks again Neal!

More battery gains with a battery tray from Dirtbound as well as their leaf spring plates with bump stop mounts. Undecided on a battery, but I've heard good things about the Exide AGM so I may give that a try. Narrowed it down to the Exide, Odyssey, or XS Power.

Here's a little diagram. This is also the person to buy your cables from (XJWonders). Whole thread has some solid info.

Not too terrible. About $100 shipped. Can definitely make your own a little cheaper, but that would require time which is a commodity I don't mind paying a little extra for sometimes. Especially considering how well done this one is.
No, I don't lick fish.

Nice! Yeah definitely worth that. Where'd you get it? I looked briefly on Amazon and only found kits without wire, relays or fuses. Did that all come in one kit?
