Nice looking XJ! I really like those front flares and the color combo. I was thinking Bushwhacker Flat Flares for my build but might reconsider after seeing yours.

There are two people who already want to buy it. I'm going back and forth on selling it. It gets a lot of compliments.

Thanks! Yep they are nice. They are a little different to install, a little more off the cuff than say a bushwhacker. We had to make a small relief bend on mine towards the bottom, not noticeable though.

I would highly recommend it. Hooligans is pretty fast at cranking them out. About 3 weeks after ordering you will be getting an email telling you it shipped. They do lack a little in the communication end of things. but that is to be expected of small off-road fab shops.

If you have any questions, need measurements or want to see any addition pictures. Just send me a PM and I will help you out.

Also, stay tuned to my thread. My rear fender flares are in the mail, due to be at my casa by Monday.

Yeah man, that headlight harness is the shiz. Makes the sealed beams unbelievably bright! People are shocked when I tell them they're the OEM lights with beefier wiring and a couple relays.

Decided to spend sometime looking up at the innards of my Jeep. In other words, replace the sway bar bushings with some nice MOOG aftermarkets.

I noticed when I did my sway bar discos the sway bar was all floppy and would move left to right perpendicular to the vehicle. Upon close examination the bushings looked wallowed out. So I ordered some new ones off Amazon Prime.

Install was pretty easy. Four bolts total.

Old vs. New

From getting my tools out to putting them away was about 20 mins. Not bad!

Pulling out the tools is always the time consumer,
Since I don't have a garage I gotta pull mine out the tool box, truck, other parts of the house...
Before I know it I'm already 15-20 mins in just in that...

Jeep is looking good though

Thanks for the compliments. My tools tend be everywhere but where I need them when I'm under the thing.

Looks like you are starting to catch back up to me! Cant wait to see those rear fenders go on. Going to look good for sure. If only your XJ was white...
