So I got my xj in febuary. Ivewanted this jeep since I was like 12 years old, my uncle finally sold it to me for 1200. Its a 90 laredo and it had 114k when I first started driving her. This will be a very slow build, pretty much all my money goes to bills and my son, not complaing though. Ive always been into jeeps but I dont know much about anything so bare with me.










first thing I bought for her.




bought a surco rack






thats it for awhile.
near future plans. cd player. lights. replace rockers. tires and lift(someday!)
thanks for lookin.
