Bought some NGK V-Powers to replace the Champions I have with 3K on them and they look to be melting...

I ripped out my carpet and bedlined my interior today! Still waiting on it to dry but it looks great right now. Hopefully the noise and heat doesn't make me regret getting rid of my carpet

Did nothing to the Jeep apart from spinning my rear tire(s) in the driveway as I left for walmart after being awoken at 8am by the neighbor's music.

Ended up getting luggage for my vacation.... Jeep luggage. 39$ for one piece (medium) and 6$ for a small toiletries bag as opposed to 30$ for a 3 piece set from some other company.

Damn Jeep Bug!

Got rid of all the crap on the front of my XJ and removed the front swaybar.
Now I have to get rid of those flares

As long as your not going to drive that thing more then 10 mph then your fine... But if you plan on taking that out on the street then get that sway bar back in or your asking for a crash...

Every 4x4 i've ever owned was ran without a swaybar. Its fine as long as you dont run soft springs.
