few days ago some has stolen my bullbar from my XJ
so now made it back clean, got some US blinker lights, and fixed my starting cylinder. (Key with new cylinder in the steering column)

so after few fixes the jeep is ready again and now starting from scratch.
better lights, better wirring, better fron and rear bumper with build on bullbar. and not to forget....3"lift.

the jeep how she was before.


and now the jeep is back to stock. as said before, the whole jeep is getting now better




the new set of keys


and before.

in my region there maybe at least 14 XJ's
2 of them are build for harder offroad driving, the others including mine now are stock to the bone.
also they can't (i hope) do anything with the bullbar cause they left the mounting on my bumper behind. also removed them already so if they come back they can't do nothing with it

today i make more pictures of my jeep with the new lights in it. need first let the headlights also adjust to the normal readings. Xenon adjustment back to stock H4 headlight isnt a succes

No dog in the jeep. He will just eat the interior. Just hire a guy a with a shotgun, and ask him to show the shotgun everytime some comes near to your jeep. Someone stole 2 sets of KC daylighters from me. They are expensive here in Iceland. When I find out who do it. The bone braking will start. I leave a single bone in one pease. I hate when peoble are steeling things. And now after the world krises tires start to be very ****ing expensive here in Iceland. A set of 38īs is 3500 dollars. For that price I can buy a very godd car. And there are more and more 4x4 owners who comes out one day And see that there tires has been stolen

@ jeepson : yeah here in holland are tyres also expensive. but found standard AT tyres (215/75/R15) goodyear for just 110 euro. inclusive fit and removal of the old ones.
the bigger onces starting from 250 euro's each tyre. so without alloy wheel it's cost just 1.000 euro for 4 stupid pieces of rubber.

@ Lil Beast : crossbow sounds nice
just when the police find out then i'm going to jail for that. the criminal is protected in holland, after attempt to steal from anyone the criminal should have no rights anymore.
also the police called me few minutes now ago, ''case'' closed. it's not there priority to get after it
you should see how quick they can go out of the bushes for speeding tickets

finaly ordered via internet today a ARB rear and front-bumper with bullbar mounted on the bumper itself.
after install the bumpers on the car the bolt's will soldered so it's one time fit and not removable anymore.

(image of hanson product, looks almost same with ARB)
Rear:


Front:


cant wait till ive got them at home
