It's finally done, well at least 80% (it is a jeep after all). I think pretty much every part of this Jeep has been attended to. Still need to wrap up a few things but happy to have the meat and potatoes done.

 

I like the body color! So whats the list of no longer factory parts?

 

Being my 3rd XJ and 5 jeep, and with the XJ market in an uptick, I planned on a forever jeep so I pretty much replaced everything. It just hit 114k and honestly didn't need everything it got but I am very much the kind of guy who has the "well I am already here so I might as well" mentality.
