As some of you have figured out already, I am the proud owner of the XJ formerly known as LiL Timmy's XJ.

We've already got a few things planned:
New Wheels & Tires (ordered, hopefully installed this weekend)
New Headlights (probably going with the Truck-Lite LEDs)
New Head Unit (to add blue-tooth & satellite radio - radio in Atlanta has gone to crap)

This will be my daily driver heading to downtown HOTlanta and we'll be sure to take it on some trails a few times per year. We're definitely planning to make it to the Crawl in Harlan 2013. Fingers are crossed that neither of us has to work and we'll try to make it to the Fall Flog this year!

A few pictures are below - or go here for all of them. I'll add pictures and update as we get things done!

Damn good looking XJ!
 
Good to hear it stayed in the family. Congrats on the purchase.
 
I remember learning to swing tube on that bad boy...... Look forward to wheeling with you guys, the hardcore but avoids body damage group needs expanding
 
Looks like MAXCFM is going to have to step up his game a little now. lol.

Great XJ to a great home.

It's in the works. The white '94 XJ is currently being worked on. At some point we're going to either be driving 2 rigs to events, flipping a coin or we're going to need a bigger trailer!

Since we'd decided that I need to give up my Challenger (*sniff* - it's for sale BTW if someone has 40k burning a hole in their back pocket) we were going to do a mild build on the white XJ so I could drive it daily when we ran across this one. It was in the budget and BAM! a 2 XJ household *grin*
 
I bet I know who will be tailgunning for Stump at the Crawl next year.

bigger trailer.....youve already got the biggest truck


2 are better than 1........ we'll have 2, well 1.5 if you take into account how much xj is left in my build
 
Glad that xj stayed in the family!

Latney's jeep should go full tilt boogie hard core wheeler now!
 
No plans to move to CA LOL.

Today she got outfitted with new shoes. This took care of most of the "play" in the steering - but she still needs an alignment. I need to call my favorite shop and see they can take care of that.

Cooper Discoverer AT3 (LT315/70R17) mounted on 17" Series 98 Rock Crawler Monster Mod Wheels. Yes, they're glossy black wheels. Expect them to be matte black as soon as this cold is gone and I can scrub the heck out of them for a coat of black plasti-dip!

Now - ahem - to show that I DO have a back bumper (that needs to be modded a bit to hold a spare - now that I've got one).....
