New question. I am considering Hellas and this bumper: http://http://www.jcroffroad.com/mm5...ct_Code=XJ-F-B
What do you think? Should I get a hoop? Back to the Hellas. Do you think it is worth it to invest 60 more dollars on the "Black Magic" version of the 500's? Or do you prefer the look of the white 500's?

Nice Jeep!

I would personally keep it exactly as it is, it looks perfect! Nice and clean. I would say perhaps take those stickers off the back windshield, upgrade the suspension with some beefier parts, and maybe metal bumpers. Then from there do some engine performance mods, but that's just my opinion.

Your jeep is the only other I've seen that's a black limited like mine! Have fun!

Oh, and keep the wood grain. I kept mine. I think it adds some character to the inside and makes it special lol

Thanks Man! Yeah those stickers will be gone the day I get my XJ. Do you have any pictures of yours I could see? Like maybe the bumper or just some of the mods you have done?

I think I may keep my woodgrain. Your right about the character part. Do you recommend fog lights?

I am from Georgia. This XJ is from Kentucky though. It is being shipped down here. Nice to know there is another person my age on the forum!

Black magic are simply for looks..

Hellas are decent..but if you want the best look into arb intensity lights.. or even a small light bar from rugged ridge
