Driftunit

got mah lady all cleaned on the inside tonight. got my sub hooked up and wired and then took off my other end cap. i dont have a pic of the end cap but ill post some of my clean progression..

MiNi

Looking good man!

Driftunit

well i get paid this thurs, not sure what the first purchase is gonna be yet, may do a few small things or one big thing to it this go around, cant really decide.

anybody know any dyi free mods? or little things that can be done to a stock ride? gotta be something i can remove lol. im gonna find a way to mount a tool box in the back. not sure if i wanna use a small one or go huge with it.

MiNi

do a smaller toolbox. some of the ones with drawers those.

Driftunit

thats what i was thinkin. nothing real big like a larger tackle box kind thing. not for major tools, just a place for a few screw drivers, fuses, and smaller specialty tools i may need.

i think first and foremost im gonna fix the body minus the paint for now then ill do an intake set up and some of the smaller cheaper goodies.

thursday im gonna start with a JY fender and nose piece. i also gotta deal with all the tag title and ins stuff too so im gonna have to factor all that in as well. i hate getting paid every 2 weeks!

MiNi

how does that sub hit? im looking for one thats not too expensive but still hits decent. i had a type r in my old car but it got stolen.

Driftunit

its a great sub and very affordable, i bought it back in high school and have had it in, this makes 8 vehicles... (wow, never realized i had so many) and im 22 now so thats been some time ago. the key to a good hitting sub is a good amp and a good radio. mine is a 1000 watt sony. it all works great, hits hard when i need it to and has lasted way longer than i ever thought it would. 1 12 is also good because its not to over powering over all the rest of the components. i cant stand all thump and no high sounds. i like clarity

MiNi

Ok cool. Ill have to look into it then. Does this Jeep already have a SYE done to it? or just a Tcase drop?

Driftunit

pretty sure its just a tcase drop, i need to get under it and make a list of whats been done thus far. i went out yesterday to remove the rear sway and it was already gone lol

MiNi

Haha nice. Is the rear sway bar even a really needed? I haven't removed mine and I might.

How much did you end up paying for the XJ?

Driftunit

i got it for 1900 bones plus the extra costs for driving across the state to get it but i couldnt pass that deal. and no my jeep is stiff as ***** in all driving conditions. i figured taking the rear sway off would allow some more give and it didnt even have one lol. guess the previous owner beat me to it.ive searched it one here and no one really runs theirs

MiNi

Dam thats a nice find for 1900 I probably would've drove half the state of texas for that.. My ride is really rough too. Taking the sway bar off will help? I paid 3800 for mine with 197k miles.. I kinda got ripped but the interior is in immaculate condition.

Driftunit

my interior is good too. the only issue is my falling head liner. i think i have plans for it though. and remove the sway you can always put it back on if you dont like the feel of it. you will flex a dab more, give it a shot dude.

i now have a CB/PA for the jeep and tinted lights. im debating on buying the quick discos for the front. may try to find some used ones or make some there isnt much to them.. pics of tint and cb comin later!

Driftunit

added some shade.. went pretty well here are the pics!

step one. remove and clean light housings
step two. tape off areas you dont want shaded
step three. wetsand with 1500 grit sandy paper
step four. dry and clean again
step fiver. start adding coats of shade (leave drying time between coats)
step six. let dry completely, then remove masking tape
step seven. reinstall
TADA!

Driftunit

shot of my cb i scored for free! its pretty small i think itll mount nicely
