Project: To be named
 
so here goes my build thread about my 88 XJ.
I bought it as is in the pic with a/c an and radio blah blah

2 new tires and the wheels from my Laredo with long tire valves cause i couldn't find the short ones with all the mud on them jajaja

A tire decided to fly off and busted up my fender:grin:

New fender installed and stickers removed (finally) also touched up the crappy paint job:chef:

previous owner didn't buy the right shocks so he made these little extender to compensate the 3" lift so I bought a pair of rancho monroe for 3" lifts

Was missing some hardware in the rear brakes so went a put in everything brand spanking new and now the parking brake works. (never seen an XJ with a working parking brake)

Same thing in front, everything brand new just in case since i already needed pads, rotors, and brake lines

I needed a new battery tray but also needed both screws. Only had the top part so I bought a 4 foot long threaded screw, cut it to size and secured it in place with two nuts. a lot easier to do since they don't fall down like the stock ones did

Top view of the idea i had

6K HID's. 2 100 watt fog lights on top and 2 35? o maybe 55? watt fog lights on the brush guard. I have 2 more 100 watt fog lights on the way
