Made some brackets and mounted my kc lights on my a pillar. Brackets cost me $3 at Lowes. They don't look as clean as the $50 ones but they don't look bad and they work

That is where I got mine, and the nearest NAPA for me is 10 miles away. Thankfully my cousin works there and gives me real good deals on most parts and tools.

Finally replaced the starter in the '95. Having to hit it with a hammer was getting old fast, and more frequent. Also zip tied a piece of cardboard over the grill as a makeshift cold front.

Purchased permanent plates/registration... Not that bad at 200$. Never have to worry about it again. Paid the 80$ no mudflap ticket and ordered some cheapies off ebay.

I also bought a HighLift jack and got my new 315/75/16 Duratracs mounted/balanced.

That's why im glad I live in Arizona. Mud flap laws only apply to lifted trucks. Not station wagons. Lol

Im fairly confident they have some directive to charge XJs. I know a bunch of people with lifted Jeeps...30 or so. I don't know a single lifted JK/TJ (definitely requires mudflaps by the law) that has been pulled over for mudflaps/fenders but EVERY single lifted XJ I know has been pulled over numerous times for it. I finally got the ticket after 5 times in 2 years lol.

Not my XJ but for my XJ.

Traded a spray painted header panel even for this 7' x 16' steel floor car trailer and winch. Big ole monster winch that's as old as I am. Not sure if it works but I'd imagine I can make it move. The new trailer will be receiving the axles, ramps and fenders that are on the trailer that it's riding on. After a coat of paint and cutting all the random crap off it should be a nice little trailer. I think I did OK on the trade.

Loading it on my trailer was rather interesting... Getting it off should be even more interesting.

Thinking about removing my rear sway bar today after school. What about my front sway bar? Are the risks as dangerous as I've heard?

I wouldn't remove the front, sway bar quick discos are the way to go. Some guys will tell you that you'll be fine without it but I'd never do it unless it was strictly off-road.
