Adam's 98 5-speed Build

[clean4drxj]

Do you have a drop waggy arm or stock waggy arm?, I'm running a drop waggy arm(same height as stock xj but more throw).

Thanks guys plan is to cut the rear for tire clearance and some tube for rear flairs.

Also need to address adding some tube to the front axle to protect the ram.

that looks like shit

i'll take it off your hands

 

[5-Speed XJ]

In the process of hood vents. They will be black. I need to cut the back of the hood more to get them to sit flatter.

 

[5-Speed XJ]

Hood vents are done with functioning drip trays.

My battery really died at 5 years old with a 3 year warranty.

 

[5-Speed XJ]

What a pain in the but that was.

Then I address my battery.

Removed stickers kept a few on the rear hatch

On to wiring. Bought some flush mount LEDs for back up lights and found that the harness that passes through the hatch it's junk. I'm surprised anything worked to be honest.

Jeep is really looking good man. I like it a lot.

 

[5-Speed XJ]

Thanks man next is tube flairs front and rear and front fender armor tying it all together.

 

[5-Speed XJ]

Flush mount led flood pods.

Measured a bunch but still had to fine tune it a lot and I over cut one spot but it's barely noticeable plus it's not a show jeep.

I've been looking at lights like that for backup lights but had never seen them on anything. Looks good and looks like a lot of light output.

 

[5-Speed XJ]

Cheap too only 30.99 a pair.

 

[themauler]

Did you wire them directly to the hot wire for the reverse lights or did you do a relay setup?

 

[5-Speed XJ]

Just added to the harness on the passenger side to service both sides.

I've had that exact reverse light mod on my list for awhile now. Came out great man. Nice jeep BTW, looks like my jeeps bigger brother.
