Caught the Bug
A little back story on this new rig I picked up.

Earlier this year I picked up this rig for a great deal from a friend as it had been sitting for a few years. It needed some tlc to get her running again and some parts to make her offroad worthy again. I ended up doing a tune up, some exhaust work, battery, belt, and a few other things. Due to un forseen circumstances I had to abandon the project and sold it to a friend. Fast forward to a few months ago, I picked up another xj to build up and sell to make a few $$$. I ended up traded to my buddy for this one back and some cash. So now let this build begin again.

As it sits today: 12-19-14
-3.5" rough country lift with n2.0 shocks
-cobra cb set up
-bedlined interior
-steelie black rims
-24" light bar on front
-31" firestone mts
-cargo basket on top
-few other things here and there


The current plans this week are to replace the whole cooling system minus the radiator. Already replaced waterpump, have a new themostat 160 degrees, housing, and radator hoses.

Over the next month or so I plan to paint a mismatched fender, cut front fenders, cut and fold rear, cut and fold rear quarter panel, bedline bottom half of it. Re-do the interior bedliner, put a small system in it to fill up the empty space the stock speakers dont put out, install a snorkel and winch bumper, dual battery set up, and hopefully some 33s
