So I got some current pictures. Not to much. Still need to finish the suspension up. I'm hoping to do that this weekend but we will see. Been very busy with my business so time to work on the Jeepspeed or Trail XJ is very limited. Anyways here are some pictures.
Switched out the AFE CAI for this K&N one. The AFE CAI with the TBS was making too much contact with the hood fully shut. This set just clears it.

Wired up all the fog lights. Placed the relays here for a nice, some what clean and out of the way look.

Added a new sticker to the fiberglass fender

So after a lot of thought, I decided not to go with the tire carrier. No Jeepspeed Xj that I have seen has a tire carrier bumper. So I picked up this OR-FAB rear bumper. Love the look and matches the front prerunner bumper. Painted the D-Rings white since the Jeep has a black and white theme to it.

Switches for the fog lights. Top button is for the A-pillar lights.

Added a Go-Pro sticker to the back window

GoPro Hero 3 Black edition mount on the dashboard/

That's it for right now. I'm hoping to get more done this weekend. I'll also get a picture of the wheel and tire combo I have. They are in the shed right now.

Also thinking in the next few weeks ordering this up. Love the hood I have on there now but with less weight up front, it sure would be great. Here's the link.

As for racing it, probably not since I don't have a ton of desert here in Illinois, lol. My club and I do go to Mears, Michigan which has the Silver Lake Sand Dunes so that'll probably be the only spot that it sees. Other then Silver Lake it will be sitting next to the trail rig.

Honestly check out JeepSpeed.com and RDM offroad is where I got a lot of my stuff. Look into frame stiffeners and decent shocks. I haven't ran the Rusty's shocks yet so we will see how they go. If I don't like them I'll probably switch to KING shocks. Let me know if you have any other questions.

Well quick update. JCR tail light boxes came in. Got to paint them up and wire up the LED lights. They look great.
Also picked up another Cherokee
