I was riding on bump stops with 4 people in my back seat of the xj. Almost 800 pounds of teenagers. And then 4 bags of cement in the back didn't help. I've already have the bed full on my comanche of people and its the sort bed.

Just picked up my 99 some Mobil High Milage and a Puralator oversized filter. Guess who's changing oil tomorrow?
The 91 will (if all goes right) have a 231 put in with a sye already installed, new trans mount, RC cross member for long arms, brown dog motor mounts and fresh tranny fluid. Big day planned.

This is where punctuation matters. You just said you don't like the locker because it's good off road.
You have a middle seat belt that's BS I have a bench seat and only have 2

Bought these today for the interior, not 100% sure if I have enough but will be pretty close. Already have all the LEDs for indicator, brake/stop and reverse lights, just need a LED flasher unit.

Saw these and considered them for rock lights and extra reverse lights. 3 pairs should do ??

Wired up the relays and started wiring in the (BB) Jeep for the TC lockout mod, will go to the local electronics shop for the diode and switches needed for this and the 1/2 gear lockout mod also.

I'm starting to doubt that they are 9W, as I read more about them the lumens output seems a bit low for 9 Watts, maybe I just need a few more pairs

Went to the river and wheeled the mj in some sand. Did good for 2wd. Starting tomorrow I'm dropping the xjs transfer case and open it up to determine if I should rebuild or replace.

Did a little degreasing of the engine, quieted some interior rattles, lessened the width of my flares by 1/2", tightened screws on sub, replaced 4wd shifter light and ghetto fab'd my sway bars back on. It's kinda nice not having as much body roll on the road..
