"Fully modded" can be interpreted different ways. It's a matter of opinion. You can pretty much modify or add aftermarket or custom parts to every inch of an XJ.

It isnt a term I use to describe a vehicle. But I voted slightly because you didnt list
bumpers
Winch
Rock sliders
Frame stiffened
Aftermarket steering
Built transmission
Chromoly axles
forced induction
Aftermarket exhaust
Snorkel
Roll cage
On board air
Aftermarket motor mounts

The list could go on.

Wait, so it's a Renix Jeep that's no longer using Renix? I don't get what you mean by "fully converted"

My 89 is no longer RENIX anything, i pulled all the wiring from my 95 4 door from the headlights to the taillights and the bullcrap Bendix brake system was replaced with the 95 components also. Jeeps relationship with Renault is a strain on the the legacy

Wow - that seems like a lot of work when you could have just bought a 91+ Cherokee instead. My hat's off to you, sir!

it was alot easier than you think. Everything is plug and play. And no finding a 91+ for a reasonable price is near impossible. XJ's near me without title and having the dog snot beat outta them are selling for $1500.

Lol point made. Brown dog mounts and vision homemade front bumper and rock sliders were forgotten.

No Jeep is ever "fully modded". There is always more than can be done.
