Hey folks, just thought I'd share.
Specs:
97' XJ, 4.0, 5-spd, RE 3.5", BFG 31 ATs on stock wheels
This summer I decided most of my funds would go into getting bumpers/sliders. Other things came up before so I got a little delayed sadly (had to replace my brakes and cat). Anyways, after shopping around a bit I decided I wanted some JCR armor. I really liked the look and they seem to get excellent reviews here on the boards. The sliders were the first to some in, and then the front bumper (both a little behind schedule, but w/e). The rear bumper is currently on its way to me so I will update then.
Before the JCR goodies arrived I got my hands on some new seats, since the old ones were getting a little old, and truly I really wanted an adjustable headrest. So I found some WJ seats on CL for $50 in perfect condition. Let me say, I love them party1:
I also decided to move my CB radio to the overhead console. I really like the mounting location, there easy access to power and the Coax can be ran through the headliner without fear of kinks.
Some JCR stage 2 slider:
JCR Stage 3 Prerunner bumper
I did not know originally that the horns were attached to the bumper as well as the vacuum reservoir. Relocating them wouldn't have been a big issue...but I broke the reservoir while removing everything...not sure how. So I had to fashion a new one. I happened to have PVC pipe sitting around so I fashioned one out of that. All of this was mounted/moved under the front bumper, shielded by the engine skid. Now, I haven't seen people do this (granted I didn't really look hard) so I was curious if anyone sees any faults.
And heres the heep as it stands today:
I'll update when I get the stage 3 rear (which just shipped today...just under a month behind schedule)
Eventually a new rear axle will be thrown in , though I can't decide between a built 8.8 or D44
