Time for the exterior LED swap 
This should cover my 2 interior domes (which I forgot to replace) front side markers, front flashers, rear brake/turn/reverse, third brake light
and from what I could figure out the correct EP27 flasher for the reduced load from the LEDs.
I know the white for the rear don't exactly give a flood approach but I'm not doing it for visibility. If I wanted more light for backing up I'd stick 2 square pods or a small light bar up top.

I stiffened mine and did 2x4 rockers, also welded skids. It helped a lot with the driver and pass doors but my tail gate still jams on a good flex.

I will be doing a set of stiffies as well. and most likely going bigger upfront so I can run a spool.

Been itching to go back there again with CTjeeps. Last time I took the stock xj to see what it can do.

This weekend I put on a walker performance cat and a flowmaster 40 series muffler, had the new shoes put on the rear and now have a full sized spare that I'll put on the roof this weekend!

New mopar throttle position sensor, adjusted the TV cable, installed new led done lights...
Trans still acting the same, I guess trans filter and fluid replacement is in order...
If that doesn't pan out then I guess I gotta check the valve body

Slips a lot. 3,200 rpms to upshift into 2nd gear then 2,900 rpms to go into 3rd gear. At 65 mph it finally goes into overdrive.
Also wouldn't downshift to 3rd when going up inclines.
Someone told me that aw4 are known for valve bodies's gaskets to be leaking, losing pressure

Go to Post 10 in my link below.
Good idea to do a drain and fill on the trans anyway.
