Default SC '00 Jeep XJ Lots and Lots of Pictures

This is my second post on Cherokeeforum and I just wanted to catch everyone up on everything I have done to my jeep. I haven't been taking very many tech pics in the past, but I will make sure to in the future.

Mod List: 4.5" Rough Country Lift with aal, Logan's Metal Prerunner Bumper, Logan's Metal 8274 Winch Plate, Warn 8274, Surco Roof Rack, 50" LED Light Bar, Rampage H4 headlights, new 3 row radiator, Curt Trailer Hitch, Thrush Glasspack, RadioShack CB with crappy magnetic antenna, New head unit, new door speakers, 2 12" Kicker subs with a 1300 watt BOSS amp, and a Hi-Lift Jack.

Next Mods: 4x4 Conversion this summer (hopefully), Removable Doors, Napier Flares, Lock the 8.25, rear tire carrier bumper, rockers, skid plates, and a long arm conversion just to start.

It has been fun getting this far on a high school and college student budget lol.
























Homemade Mounts





One of my best upgrades so far. Stock lights suck.














So much Flex lol.








Got this for free from a friend.





I fully restored it and hopefully it is going on my jeep this weekend.

Sorry for all the pictures, I wanted to get them all out at one time. Feel free to ask me about anything I have done so far and I will try to help.

Thanks,
acw10695

It's an eyourlife bar, I don't have anything bad to say about, or anything really good either. It works for what it is.

I have 2 of their 21" light bars, seem to be great so far. Come on everytime I flip the switch and seem to be just as bright as the first day I got it. Honestly if one broke I wouldn't be too upset since I paid a small fraction of the high dollar ones for it. The color of your jeep is one of my favorites, and I like what you've done with it, but green is better of course (just because my jeep is green). Here's mine with my friends wj.

Nice, love their bumpers. Just waiting for work to call so I can buy one, who knows maybe I'll get impatient and just get one.

I had homemade blue halos. I really want a flag pole for mine too, I just never took the time to make one.

If you order a Logan's Bumper make sure to pay with PayPal and be patient, it took them a while and a couple of extra emails "encouraging" them to hurry up. They came through though.

They're local so I don't expect it to take too long to pick up. I'll probably call them soon to get an idea of time. They say their non-winch bumpers are in stock normally but I want that brush guard tube welded on as well so i don't know how long they might take to weld it on.

That should help you out. They only have like two welders though so it's a toss up. I'm still trying to decide if I want to order a rear bumper from them, I love the quality but not the customer service.

Well it is an older couple, both the wife and husband do all the work, the wife Jamie handles most of the calls and such. I'm pretty sure they just write the information down on some spread sheet or notepad, but not excel. Like you said, for shipping and such it's a toss up. I've heard great things from people who have their products, it's the getting that might be an issue.

Back when I was young and dumb, I wanted underflow in my jeep so I ordered some blue LED strips from SuperBrightLEDs. This is what it looked like.



I had some left over so I just wrapped them around my headlights I didn't really stick them on with anything. All of it is gone now though.

yeah I never was in the "underglow" scene, I have green lights on the bottom of the doors so it shines on the ground when the door opens. I also have green lights in the grill and the halos, but That was when I first got it and I've just never changed it really. Now it's just seems like another thing to break...
