I got a 93 XJ with 205xxx miles in January for cheap and was looking to have some fun with it.I was looking to do some cheap mods that will make it look better/allow me to have some fun. Nothing too expensive cuz im a college student and need to save money for beer haha but if anyone can think of anything please chime in. Thanks guys

Maybe you could get you some tires and do little trimming of the fenders . Tint the windows . I even think you could do a budget lift prob for round 100 bucks

As long as you don't want it now I pieced mine together for about $60-$70. I got spacers for the front for $20 shipped and add-a-leafs for the rear for $40 shipped new plus hardware was around $70.

One of the first things a lot of people do is install some extra lighting on the bumper.

Painting stock wheels can also be done. I personally like the black/black look which is why I did it.

Cb radio. Enough said.

All of these things won't break the bank.

Junkyards are your friends! If your not comfortable working on your jeep, give it a week.

They will fit, but you will need to pull the fenders off and trim some of them off. 31s are a good tire for a 2" - 4" lift. 32s will fit on a 3.5" lift with no trimming. Check out this thread for some ideas of what may interest you:

Lots of pictures to help you get an idea.
