so with the AX-15 and 4:10 gears it seemed a bit low geared . So I am going from 31" tires to 33" about like everyone else LOL it never ends . My XJ is at 3" lift and I like the LCG idea, so its time to cut the fenders ,
I orderd some Napier Precision Products flat fender flares FF4-B 97-01 384.95 and a 50.00 off bleeping jeep discount code 334.95
And started to cut , not fun cutting up the jeep, hope this is a good idea LOL to late now . one down 3 to go , not to bad even got the washer bottle back in their and working .

 

Here is a good video on doing the flares if your thinking of doing them , it helped me .

 

I picked up some used tires for now , LT 33 x 12.50 - 15 PRO COMP X TERRAIN 450.00
and Pro Comp Alloy Wheels Series 1069, 15x8 with 5 on 4.5 Bolt Pattern - Polished 10 5 each 396.16

 

the front marker was cracked so I replaced them with these smoked ones . I like them gives it a clean look .

I have a old 1976 sears road talker brand new still in the box , 40 chanel CB am, and 80 chanel SSB side ban , this is a great radio . I mounted a 102 inch stainless wip and a shorter one with a NLA 40 load coil .

 

And I added a 20" light bar in the front just to help . and mounted the switch in the dash , their is not much room for mounting switches in an XJ . I Tried to keep it low so it would not block the air to the radiator

I have been worried about getting the jeep stolen, so I made up a kill switch so it wont start . I dident want it to be easy to find, so a made it wireless . added a bosh 5 pin relay with the key off it will draw no power . you have to have the remote to start it .

 

Love this build. I like to see some pictures of the whole Jeep, now that you have the new flares, wheels, and tires.

 

Yes, I will do that , I need to hit some trails and take some picks . I have a lot of little things to Finnish up tho . it never ends !!

 

Not sure if this was posted anywhere yet, but I'm looking to do an upgrade to my lighting on the Jeep with LED's. I was searching for the dome light bulb number and came across this entire list, and thought I'd share it. This is the list for the 99's but I'm sure it will be the same for 97-01 years. Hope it helps someone else out there as well.

Took the under hood light apart , sanded all the contacts . the stock bulb was broken seems to be a common problem . looked around and found some LEDs on ebay . The way they fit, they ether face left or right, so I tried to put two in their one right one left seemed to work well .Sorry my camera doesn't take pictures in the dark well . And they were dirt cheep .10Pcs White LEDs Bulbs 561 562 . 6.19 with free shipping

Should solder a 3rd led to the two on there so it's facing out too. You have 10 of them so why not give it a shot.

 

Fixed, found one that was twisted , so now it faces the right way it's very bright .

I pulled all dome lights and replaced them with LED's , wow what a difference's I think it is money well spent .
When I pulled the dome light, I found it had a circuit board in their , did some research and found it was for the remote door locks . I really like to have remote door locks , I find them to be very handy . If it was not prewired for it, I probably would not have spent the time to install them . I found a good used board with 3 remotes on ebay 126.00 with shipping , plugged it in and they work !! WOO HOO !!
