Haha I'll keep that in mind! Do you have any plans for your jeep?

For sure for sure. First plan: sell it, get a 97+ 4 door, 4wd. If that isn't happening... 4wd swap, 3" zone with full leafs, soft 8s, 31s, and probably Monstalining it a very dark grey color.

If I can find a 97+, then I'll be getting a 3" zone, soft 8s, and 31s still...

Now that I'm in college, I have like zero expenses. No driving to school, so I hardly spend any money on gas (do go to some clubs occasionally but people usually spot me for giving them a ride)... 24/7 access to free food. On my parents insurance. Just need to find a job so I can start saving up for the Jeep plans.

Mounted 2 Maglites in the Jeep today. We will see how I like him in their spots. Also got the H4 Bulbs and the Putco wiring harness. The header panel has many cracks in it so I am also replacing that hopefully this weekend.

super clean xj! i installed rampage housings with the putco harness, but went with 80/100w hellas instead of the silverstars, that was the best money ive spent on the jeep yet and probably ever lol, you will love them! i also got a maglite charger yesterday so im not worrying about replacing batteries all the time, its basically a 4 or 5 d cell maglite with a nimh battery and metal terminals around it below the button so you can sit it in the charging base, now i gotta find a good place to mount it, im nervous that it will release from the clips and kill a passenger or break a window lol

Thank you! I will see how the Silverstars work, if not I may get hellas. Yeah that rechargeable maglite is pretty sweet. I just don't feel like dealing with all of those wires in my XJ. About the Maglite flying and killing someone: The clamps are pretty sturdy but I guess we will see. People probably think I am crazy for having 2 huge D-Cell Maglites in my XJ, and maybe they are right. But I like them and think about the times I may need the 4-d as a weapon.

Why don't you just go with HIDs? You can get a full set for $40...

Just installed my Wolo 4003 PA. It turned out to look pretty nice! I found a place right under the radiator for it and pointed it at a downward angle so I could get the loudest results.

Also threw a nice OEM Jeep emblem on my husky tool cabinet:
