Well there is basiclly 1 place. Greenridge, which if i remember where you are correctly shouldn't be too far. It's only good if your bored, The place is not too challenging(2wd will make it 99/100 times).

I am currently in the works of creating an ORV trail on some family owned private prop. up near frostburg that i will open up to people once/near completed. It's bout 500acres and were are looking at a possible 250 acre expansion, keep your fingers crossed!

Default Done!

So i put the interior completely back together, which unfortunatly leaves very little evidence of bed lineing. I have one pic of being in the middle of putting interior back in.

But while my seats were out i noticed some rust starting to form around the bolts. So i sanded it down and nailed it with some acrylic black. here is before and after.

Alright so new modifications have been made! And a CB antenna stolen! I added a 2" budget lift. I used taraflex shackles and spacers and love the look! But it did cause me a big problem. I got the rear done with minor grunting and slamming but when i had the final spacer to add, it went south.

See what happens when you try to show the Jeep some love... she breaks on ya... Looking good... I would have just left the carpet out of the interior of the Jeep since you did bedline underneath it... I would also go ahead and hit your front bumper up if you had any left over, or pick up a small quart can that you can use for touch ups as well, or even maybe hit your roof rack up with what is left after hitting up the front bumper... but that is just me... Your Jeep is looking good, and you are doing way better off on your HS budget build than I am on my USAF pay building mine up... I'll get there eventually... Sucks to hear about your ant. being stolen... can you possibly throw up a pic of your ant. mount though?? Trying to get some ideas for how I want to build one for mine... Again looks good!! Also have you had any sort of driveline vibrations since you installed the budget lift?? Are you planning on doing a SYE install anytime soon due to the added height??

Your XJ looks nice man. I do have one thing I'd like to throw in... If you cannot afford disco's, at least replace that link with a new one, dont go to the junk yard. You can buy a new one at Kragen (or similar) for like 13 bucks.
