Been a while, but I did install some new JBL 6.5" 2 way speakers in the doors. They fit perfectly with no extra drill holes.

Also put a new roof rack on. I'll see if I can't get a few pictures when it warms up a little bit.

Ordered from JCR Sunday. I'm going to get so impatient waiting for the bumper to get here.

Nice looking jeep man! Here is a picture of mine. So far just 3" zone lift with IRO track bar and 31" km2's. My next upgrade will be either rock sliders or transfercase skid for now.

You sure you've only got a 3" lift? That looks a lot higher than mine and I've got a 3" RC. I dunno why, but White XJ's are my favorite. Yours is looking clean.

Yep its just a 3" lift. I think that it sits a little higher too though. I can't complain because I like it. What does yours measure from the fender flares to the ground? I think mine was right around 3' if I remember right but not sure.

I'll check when I get back to the house. I'd be interested to know exactly how yours sits.

Nice looking rig! Can you post a link of those JBL speakers you bought? Sounded like it was a pretty easy install i'm assuming?

Edit: Also how do they sound in comparison to stock?

I measured from the center of the wheel to the fender flare and both the front and the back sit at about 20.75" How about you?

I got them off eBay, and the guy I picked them up from had the last pair. http://www.ebay.com/itm/381088387146?_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT
It looks like there are a few more people on there with similar prices though, and I'd definitely go with the 2-way over the 3-way. They sound a LOT better than stock, but my stocks were also a little busted.

And still no JCR bumper. They said it would ship Friday at the earliest. I know it's tax season, but 3 weeks is more than the stated max time on their website. :-\
