hey all i am 18 and have owned 2 different jeep xjs since i was 15. i enjoy working on them and making them my own. i have built my own bumpers and roof rack and think they look respectable. my jeep isnt that modified but i am working on it slowly, money as a college student is tight so its a slow process haha heres some pics of my current jeep, sure youve seen it around town, im looking forward to talking to guys local that like what i like and seeing some of your guys rigs.

Welcome. If nothing else you know the first rule. Thanks for posting up with pics.
Okay, we're a little crazy to have a Duramax for a daily driver. But if we go off our meds, we might wind up in a Prius.

Welcome.

I know the previous owner of your Jeep... We cut the front fenders and put the budget boost on it.

Keep an eye on the oil pan drain plug on that puppy... :wink:

Oh, and your front bumper brackets look bent :?
Yep, I've wheeled one of those, too...

i found that oil pan drain plug within the first week when i went to change the oil! right now it has a couple layers of teflon tape to minimize the leaking! :lol: whatd you all do to it anyways?

and the brackets arent really bent, that was my first project and didnt take the time to measure everything i just eyballed it haha

i like the cut fenders the tires rubbed too much in the back so i put on the wheels and tires from my old xj. i am going to throw a 3 inch lift on it when i get the money
1985 jeep xj 2.5l 5spd lifted 2 inches on 30s custom bumpers, 4:10 gears, roof rack, and summer tube doors

1985 jeep xj 2.8l 5spd lifted on cinder blocks in the backyard stuffed full of parts
