Ok!!! yeah thats what it was all about to sound cool, SC not an inspection state and honestly dont care what your state may mandate. But I removed it all due to the rusted out exhaust and it was about rusted out as well. Proven many times over that the B^!! S#!# back pressure doesnt really exist. so whats the point???

So I say I am with Customizer1000


I am done with the topic sorry guys not trying drag this out

Just shut up about the cats, please. Everyone. Site rules say don't talk about it. If you think it's legal for you, fine. Whatever. Take it somewhere else.

Not a bad start. Did you buy the XJ blind, or did you have it before you deployed?

sight unseen aside from pictures. i looked for a few months online, finally found one close to home and within my specs (2dr, 5spd, 4x4) and had my dad take a trip to look at it. told him the deal breakers and he made the decision on the spot. it already has a 3" lift of what appears to be a rough country AAL with a winch bumper but no winch, but both will be changed. all i'm keeping is the bumper

i really do, i lucked out big time. she's great. she will probably never care as much as i do about the minor details of it but is really good at nodding and smiling at the right times to make me think she cares about things such as lift and modification ideas haha

Go for heated mirrors if you can. I didn't think it was a big upgrade til winter came.
By the way, that's the first tube bumper on an XJ I've ever liked.

I trusted my dad to do that before, and I ended up with a '91 Camaro Z28 with a blown engine lol
Sounds great, though. Good luck with it, and keep us updated!

this is the third car i've found for him to go buy in the past few months, a subaru forester for my lady and a 94 G.C. from a friend i got real cheap for a winter beater that i've known for years were the other two. now every time i call home he opens with "no, i'm not going to buy you another car, even if it is your money!"

ok enough chit chat from me.
