just bought our XJ this week. 2001 4x4 midnight blue, has 145K miles on it paid $2700. Starting our makeover with the bumpers, see the pic. Tune up was done yesterday, windshield replaced today. AND our 3' Rough Country lift was ordered today. Yea

 

Here is the windshield being replaced. CANNOT WAIT until the lift kit arrives. I can't sleep at night, this is terrible, I have the XJ bug. Whats the cure?

 

The cure is your bank account hitting $0!! LOL

 

Thats funny- well, until it happens and my bank account does hit the $-0-. HA.
I'm more excited about this 12 year old Jeep than I have ever been over any new car I've ever driven off the lot. Crazy, huh? I stare at it like a newborn baby.

 

Welcome to the addiction bro!

 

this is the bumper being sanded

 

Yeap the addiction keeps us all cravin for more! Gotta love it thought

 

It's a lot to do with showing personality/ and your man hood in your vechile! I love that xls are cheap and there is unless stuff to do with them at the same time someone sees a pimped out xj they give it more respect than a man in a bran new Chevy! It's just way more sickkkkkk!!

 

Trust me I'm addicted too

 

well the addiction happens even to us girls. while my friends are shopping for clothes and reading glamour magazine I'm shopping for 4 wheel parts and reading Off Road Adventures. And I love to get in the mud, the addiction started when we bought Polaris Four Wheelers. This is the same thing only better. I'm totally addicted.

 

I've got the same exact jeep. Same year and color. Slightly more miles. Good luck with the build and just have fun with it.

 

loving the midnight blue where abouts in Houston are ya from (I'm off Barker Cypress & 529). U finish that bumper yet

Good clean slate to start from! Are you putting in the lift yourself?

 

We are Northwest Houston too, Jones and Grant Road area. My husband is a metal artist by trade so he has a shop and all the tools to install himself. He fabricated my brush guard yesterday and will put finishing touches today then I will post pics. I am going to show him pics of your lime green accents on the undercarriage, I want some! I want, want, want right now. Everything I want is $500.

 

Forgot to reply about the bumpers, yes we finished front and back then I took the side moldings off (by myself). That's painstaking work. I finished the passenger side yesterday and will work on the drivers side today. I'm a girl who likes to get dirty!

 

good to know that your hubby is a metal artist i do great mechanic work, but suck at welding as i am just learning that. we'll have to get together over some beers & talk Jeep & welding techniques maybe plan a trip to creekside? do yall ever go on any jeep jambo's?

great job on doing the modlings urself too! wish my girl liked to get dirty with me lol
