Hey guys, I have been a member for a couple months now, and this is my first post. My name is Garret, im 17, and I just finished my first of many jeeps! I bought my first jeep, a 2000 XJ the day I turned 16. I just recently finished it, a week before my 17th birthday in november. Im sure the work would have gone faster, if I has some cash flow :laugh: I bought it already chopped up, in pretty bad shape, since then I have nursed it back to health, and made it whole again. Thanks for checking it out!

Thanks! It took a long time, and some help from a friend who did most of the tubing and welding, just because I dont trust my welding skills just yet haha

Here is a picture of my new rack...

Looks great, and welcome to the North West Chapter of Naxja!

Who made the top? And how much did it cost, if you don't mind?

Nice rig! I use to drive by it at Clark last quarter in the afternoons. I contemplated many times stopping, and dropping a NAXJA sticky on the window. Nice to see another local XJ'er, welcome.

Yea, I was taking a running start class, I left that now though... but anytime you see it around, go ahead and slap one on!
