Figured out the beast get's only 13 mpg. Help's with all the rising gas prices
Taking to a body shop tmrw to figure out how much it's going to cost to fix my door.
Almost wrenched it off when I backed up and caught it on a another car. -_-

Might order some fender flares. getting some rub with a 3.5in and 32's on it.

Got a cb radio and an antenna and a mount and some antenna cable. Got a Cobra 75 WX ST with 18 feet firestick antenna cable and a 5ft firestick. Looks good. So far it has traveled 4 miles. Haven't tried anything longer. Looks big on a stock Jeep though.

That does look big lol. What type of mount did you use? I will have pretty much the exact same setup and was thinking about just drilling into the side of the xj for the mount.

Look up mounts made by 98plumcrazy... they're heavy duty, they fit like a glove, come with a stud, and they're 35 bucks shipped. Mounts right behind the taillight.

And a 5' firestick will get out for sure... my jeep is stock too, does look big, but I've gotten out about 7 miles so far... radio is putting out about 5 watts... cobra 19 ltd classic.

Took it to the auto part store She was disappointed when I came out with struts for the Taurus, so I washed her up and parked her where she could see me tear the wheels off the car.

Both myself and my rig cringed at the site of a new autozone opening 5 mins from my place. Seriously I wish it was an advanced auto I hate autozone parts they suck

@96_xj
I like your roofrack/light setup makes your rig look real serious. There's been times I wished I'd had some extra gas( sad stories)
