Second Jeep, first XJ...

This thread is going to be mostly pictures and discussions on mods, feel free to chit chat and ask questions though. This thread will obviously be for the XJ but you can expect to see a few pics of my WJ thrown in there also...Meet Salt an Peppa!

Yeah just a lunchbox locker in the front for now. I'm not planning on changing out the 3.55s in the stock axles. Down the road I plan on moving to waggy 44s. Full width axles and worth sinking some money into

Ordered a new rough country steering stabilizer today as the one on it is completely shot out. Also ordered a Rough Country track bar with track bar mount. A new radio was also in order since when I got the jeep it didnt have one so I picked up a Kenwood this morning and threw it in before my shift started. And as always I have to throw a few pics in...

Ordered some a pillar fog mounts from Detours Offroad today. Also picked up some new struts for the rear gate. For every OEM thing I fix im letting myself buy something aftermarket. Coming up next is the uppers off of my WJ to correct the horrible castor angle. That also requires me installing the long arm in my WJ..But anyways here are some pics of what I bought:

Got the track bar, havent installed it yet though, Got all my lights and got them hooked up. One of the cree pods didnt work, go figure. Also got my bushwhacker flares in. Waiting for the weather to clear up.


Right now im kinda distracted as im working on 2 jeeps at once but hopefully ill have able to get all my lift parts sorted out here soon.
