Body kits just don't look right on our trucks, about the closest thing I've seen that looked remotely decent was chin spoiler extension on the Archer Brothers' SCCA Comanches.

Clean, now all you need is a set of 20's and a boomin' stereo dude. Like another dude said, clean and verry urbain, but just not my cup-o-tea.

I like the 18's better and the brake set-up(I just re-read your brake link and remember the pics with the cobra rims). I already have the ZJ rear discs but, someday I'll upgrade the front calipers to dual pistons w/ a nice set of pads and slotted rotors(I gotta make it go faster first, then justify the cost of making it stop sooner).
Very nice looking Jeep. I don't think I have ever seen a cleaner one. I enjoy seeing people do different things with the XJ other than lift and tires... The rims look really good on there too. I like the spoiler a lot, I will have to look for one for mine...

I noticed your rig awhile back, the bug eyes made me curious. I just checked your other threads too. Man, I'm jealous. Definitely the cleanest XJ I've seen. Look's amazing inside and out. haha, what's your secret to keeping it so clean (it even has 4wd, so you're not forced to stay on the road)?
should have a vote for "Most _________ XJ" every year or so. If they did, I'd be willin to bet you'd win "Cleanest". And I don't just mean clean as in a lack of dirt, I mean well built. . . ect.
Keep it goin

I appreciate the compliments, but I'm not done yet lol. I like to keep an overall oem feel, and some of my previous upgrades bug hell out of me.
- I plan on scrapping that exhaust tip in favor of the original slant pipe when I have some extra loot for a new mandrel bent 2.5 pipe (the idiots at the muffler shop installed my 2.5" muffler/ cat, but they didn't replace the stock pipe).
- I want to do something that will bring less attention to those side markers.
- I'm in the process of collecting parts to replace my Alpine head unit with an oem RB1 Nav unit, so if anyone has some leads on an RB1 (on the cheap).. drop me a line.
- Lastly, I have a replacement for my 18s almost ready to go... and NO.. they're not 20s. I HATE 20s.
18's are the tallest I'd run and 45/50 series the lowest I'd go on the XJ. Maybe in the future I'll get 17's and have a tire height of 29"(current are 255/60/15--27.1" Yokos), but the combo will have to be the same weight or less than my current set-up. I would then have to lose the 3.55s and upgrade to 4.10s.
Personally, I think using low profile tires on XJs is a crime (they defeat the point of owning a Jeep). I like to keep things in the 55/60 range It's a good compromise; you see that profile on quite a few modern SUVs.
Also, 4.10s might be a little steep for stock sized wheels.... especially when you hit the highway. Something to think about considering you're running a smaller-than-stock tire.

Jeez, don't get so emotional dude, it's a jeep for crying out loud. Not like I too a dump on it, just gave my opinion of it. If ya can't take critisism, don't post it up eh... No harm , no foul. If I see ya stuck in the snow, I'll still pull you out man.

It's fine if you don't like my Jeep,
BUT those 20" rims/ big stereo comments really pissed me off. It sounded like you tried to type cast me as an immature poser. I actually put some thought into my Jeep... it's my daily driver. I'm not about slap some stupid 20s to get some useless attention, or fill my trunk with subs so I don't have room for groceries (or a few cases of canadian beer eh).

First, that is quite possibly the most modern looking XJ I've ever seen... it almost looks like it could be an 08! It really does look nice... and I dig the color. The headlights do make it look like someone stuck their thumb up the Jeeps butt though, but I wouldn't blame anybody for ditching a regular sealed beam in favor of anything else. Second, where the hell did the subwoofer enclosure come from?!?! I hafta know!!!

huh... I have 22's on my 05 Ram, a couple of Eclipse 10's behind the seats, and a 7 speaker Infinity component system. Its my daily driver ... I guess Im an immature poser plus 2 inches. and I have an RB4 Nav unit that Im abOOt to replace, but Im too busy getting useless attention to ship it to Canada. btw, Canadian beer sucks, EY. Keep that piss water across the lakes.
Everybody likes to make fun of my lights online, but that changes pretty fast when they see them work in person. Keep im mind that projectors will always be part of a proper HID system, and they need space. You can't fit them into a 6054 lense without cutting into your header panel. I have friends that retro HID kits for a living; they put fx35 bi-xenon projectors into my WJ , but they wouldn't be able to make a 6054 retro work properly. That's just the reality of working with a small headlight.xjnerfo said:
BTW. The sub box is a discontinued 10" JL Audio Vantage Stealthbox. I bought mine on ebay, and I had it color-matched to my dark charcoal interior.
it's called perspective. XJs are small by truck/suv standards. You wouldn't put 20s on a mini cooper; you don't put 20s on an XJ. I think Rams are a weeeeee bit bigger... don't you?99XJWhitey said:
Same thing goes for the stereo; I don't have a cabin with storage space I can use for my stereo AND a massive truck bed. I have one damn trunk, and I need it. I have some Alpine V-Power Amps hidden under my rear bench, Some Infinity Perfect 6.1 components in my front doors, some Infinity 6.5" Kappas in my rear sound bar, and an Infinity Perfect 10DVQ 10" sub in my JL Audio stealthbox. It's all sound deadened with some B-Quiet Ultimate, and it's all pretty-much hidden.
So again yes, I would be a poser if I ran 20s, and a huge stereo in my XJ. It's called perspective.
I appreciate the offer, but I'm looking for an RB1... it has more ipod compatibility.99XJWhitey said:

Where did you get that Cheokee Classic badge on the passenger air bag and the bottom Cherokee door sills? Looks cool!
