I ordered;

2 x heated seat kits
A hard-wire USB kit for my Bluetooth receiver and GPS unit
A 12v socket to hard-wire a Qualcom Quickcharge triple USB charger
A sweet fuse box, relay harness, and enough 14ga real copper power wire to last me at least a year (ordered 6 x 100ft rolls). Always running out, lol.

Going to wire all of my interior accessories to the fuse-box and mount that in the space under the steering column in the dash.
Then use a relay to power the fuse-box to the battery and simplify all of my interior accessories (which all run straight to the battery right now).

Also pricing out all of my disc brake conversion parts, and the last parts to my audio system.

Should be ready to install when when I get back from vacation on the 5th.

Then I drove my Cherokee home from work and realized I want to install it like tomorrow (and it wont get here for a week )

Let me know how you like it, I'm looking into getting one as well. Definitely need to replace the gasket on mine. She ticks a little bit when its cold.

Got a spare key made, sanded some spots on the roof, and am hoping to either order steel for project Ironside or remove all the damn stickers

Just ordered another roof rack, lol, shouldn't have sold the last one. Tired of all the clutter in the back, and now that I'm not travelling out of town every damn week, little drop in mpg isn't too big a concern.

I will. If you're sub'd to my build thread, I'll put details up in there. I'm also going to weld in a flex coupling somewhere on the downpipe to eliminate any chance of cracking again in the near future. I'm also running brown dogs so that should help as well. I just need to replace the trans mount and all should be good in that aspect.

TwistedWrench - Speaking of roof racks, I just picked up a ladder/platform for mine. It will make loading and unloading a lot easier.

That's awesome, where's you get that? I used to just stand on the tire, but now that it has flares again that's a little trickier.

Of course, I'd probably end up putting it on the roof rack anyway... LOL.

^^^ Not sure if this is going to help you but I got it here in town at Princess Auto (Canada's version of Harbor Freight). It only weighs a few pounds and folds down flat for storage. The legs are adjustable for height. For reference, my unlifted (yet) XJ has 245/75/16's on it and the ladder is at the second lowest setting.

It was only $38 and is well worth it. It would be pretty simple to fabricate one. Sorry, I can't find an online link for it.

Replaced the steering box, flushed the power steering pump, and lubed the rubber boot for the steering shaft to get rid of that squeak!

That's pretty spiffy! I'll have to check around for one of those!

Looks like Cabela's has a similar step to PCO6's
