Once again, here's my rig...











And that first CLEAN red XJ started as a 2 door. He's a local wheeler that's also a body man. Works out of his own shop up north. Mostly rebuilders. That 2 door is kind of a calling card for his business. He drives it everywhere, Moab every year, Gilbert often, etc...

[QUOTE=Shineonmoon;391354]Thinking of doing some cuttin on my rig, looking for some pics to get some inspiration but havin some trouble finding any good ones, could you guys help me out?
Just remember the XJ is a Unibody. Without using stiffeners or cages you may be seriously compromising the structual integrity of the whole Jeep. If it aint broke dont fix it!

Hey man, I just put those same tail lights on mine, and am having a hell of a time with wiring them.. I am about to go get another set and double them up so that I can have running lights, and break lights at the same time... are yours 100% functional?
