I don't really care dude. Just because I own a jeep doesn't mean it can't look good. I'm not gonna drive something that looks like a piece of crap

Don't encourage him. He's a dick

I think it looks great. I wouldn't put that much work into my Jeep's appearance, but I don't see a problem with it. Just don't throw chrome 26s on it.

Wow! Not my taste but you did really nice work. It does look like a ricer but it does look like a new car like you said lol

Thanks. I like to have one of the nicest trucks among my friends so I do alot of cosmetic work on it. I'm not one of those cocky guys but I like my truck to be appreciated.

It's all personal opinion man. I like that type of stuff. The outside of my cherokee is mean looking like an offroad vehicle should be. But the inside is nice like a show truck should be. I have blue LEDs all throughout the interior, indiglow gauges, and a bass system that takes up the whole back end so if there is a line then I crossed it a long time ago. I love my cherokee and I have no regrets with any of my mods and installs

Wow...I haven't seen 130k miles on an XJ odometer in a LONG time! And check that out, a fuel gauge that actually reads FULL! Both my Jeeps' gauges just don't measure that high anymore! Stupid floats...

I'm glad you're enjoying making your Jeep YOURS. People gave me crap for going desert tan on mine, but I love it.

Looked longingly at her again today. Since I'm doing the headlight Putco wiring upgrade sometime soon, I might as well install some aux lighting on the brush guard while the grill is off. I saw some nice Hella 500 6.5" Black Magics at Pep Boys. I was wondering if I should go with round or square aux lights, but I think I decided that with the boxiness of the Jeep, plus the square headlights, and squared-off brush guard...the rounds would go a long way to break up the angles.

Thanks. Some people don't understand. It actually just reached 130k last week and its a 94'! It's been good to me so far. The most recent owner was my grandpa for about 8 years and he only used it for hunting and he took good care of it so I haven't had too many problems with it
