This is what I love about my 95, tailpipe test, no computer check.

This is one good reason of living in the country no emission tests. It'd be worthless with all the tractors and everything in my area.

Today, I took my XJ from 2.5" front and 4" rear (Looked a little like a drag jeep for a few months after my rear leaf packs netted me WAY more than pro comp said..) to a new 4.5" all around. New Rubicon Express Coils and Rough Country shocks for the front. Rides so much better.. never thought I cared about that until I realized how bad mine was tonight haha. I love my XJ being level!!!

I don't know if this will work, but it should. I try to avoid the mud pits but not the rocks. I was looking at the cowl air intake mod, I might switch to that because of dust kick up around the tire and wheel well.

Take a look at my build thread for a good cb idea.

Well last week I installed a few things. So I would be ready for this past weekends camping and wheeling trip to Shoe Creek and Big Levels. I ment to post everything before I had left for my trip, but forgot to because I was so busy installing everything. Ohh and excuse all the mud that was compliments of Big Levels.

So this is what I installed.

First was a front Rusty's approach skid.

And then last but not least a High Lift Jack incase of a blow out. That way I can change my full size spare.

Been busy with the XJ lately. Did the "cowl intake/snorkel" mod. Installed my new SOLID front diff cover. Did some wheeling, cleaned her up for a road trip this weekend. Hopefully Irene takes a hard left and doesn't ruin our plans. Got out the light bar and hood vent material and did some test fitting. Working with someone to get me different material for the vents so I can make "custom shapes"

Last night, I installed a Remote start that my coworker gave me for free!
He didn't want it and it was still new and in the box!

Today, I'm going to install a public warning system flasher for my roof rack lights. It will strobe and do wig-wags. Im also hooking up some reverse lights on my roof rack today.

I hate that stuff. I used to change tires for a living. It makes such a mess on the inside of the tire. I feel sorry for the guy that has to change/repair that tire.

Slime is worse. I love it but hate changing my tire afterwards.
