Your XJ To-Do List
I think it's safe to say that your Jeep is never "done", but some of us at least have an idea on the next things they want to do to it.
What's your "To-Do List"?
---------
For me... (in no particular order)
1. Neon 784 Injector Swap
2. 2.5 inch lift kit
3. Fix door speakers
4. Replace hatch struts
5. Reinforce front bumper with 3/8" steel welded to the inside, mount short push bar and fog lights, coat with Line-X
6. Fix rear defrost
7. Coat rocker panels and underbody in rubberized undercoating
8. Mag-lite mount to side of drivers seat frame
9. Hand-gun (Glock) holster in center console
and... well, that's it. I'll probably want to go farther, but for now, I'm keeping it simple

1: recovery points
2: 2 inch lift
3: new tires
4: winch
5: skid plates
That's pretty much it, actually besides repairing all the rust damage and the regular maintenance. Maybe a rear locker at some point.
