My coolest mod has to be my aluminum bumper and Warn winch. Makes up for all my mistakes and the bumper only weighs 65#

I've posted this before but out of all the mods that I've done to my XJ (lift, lockers, hood vents, protection, lights etc etc etc), this mod has given me the most satisfaction and is in fact the best mod that I have ever done to any vehicle, jeep or otherwise.

The first time I saw this I thought it was really cool. I'd have one on my Jeep if I drank, or hell if the Cokes still had pressed on caps!

I've made a few mods to the XJ now, more to come of course. I love new tires. Love the look, love the smell, love watching them being put on. These BFGs are nice tires too. Good look to them. So I'd say the lift and the wheels/tires were the coolest until I got my custom front bumper.

My front bumper is the coolest thing I've done so far, and I suspect it will be the coolest. My front bumper is a work of art. It also accepts accessories like LIGHTS, WINCH, d-rings. It's just cool.

My side exhaust is probably the coolest mod I have. There are duals coming out in front of both back tires and it sounded pretty mean before the rod went through my block.:boohoo:

having exhaust come out from the undercarriage wouldnt that hinder offroad use... or should I say abuse? I have seen people make sliders and use those as air tanks and STILL they go boom from time to time.

I did this mod for the kids. its a plastic bottle with extra winshield washer fluid in case they run out away from home.(I considered this a safety issue for my kids-a clean winshield that is). just enough to get them home safley.

I installed dual hood shocks so the hood opens automatically now... and I don't have to fumble with that stupid rod that holds the hood up anymore. :rotfl2::smiley-laughing021:

I am using the 95605 and like it. Very easy install.

The other one is Rugged Ridge brand and I don't have any in stock. I've never used these so I can't personally say yea or nea.

I am thinking about doing a deal for XJTalk.com members on the 95605 :D:D:D

I own the XJ in this link. The XJ also has the listed hood assist. It works very well. I recommend it.

Best $40 bucks I've spent on my XJ. I upgraded my headlight harness with the LMC 36-3580 GMC/Chevy Headlight harness. The results are AWESOME. There are 100% brighter than stock and I don't even have my IPF headlight yet. This is a must do.

I am pretty fond of the speaker enclosure I did.http://i718.photobucket.com/albums/ww185/XJ98Jeep/SpeakerMod-1.jpg

I also like my LeBaron hood vents. I know to us in the Jeep world they are common. To those that aren't in the Jeep world oogle and are amazed at them.

HUH !!!:allcrap: and polished too !! Everyones got different tastes... and that appears to be the feed back you're getting... :D

I like the smooth version of the guards... I just will never get the D.P. Maybe it's a region thing... your XJ is cool... I just can't get on the D.P. wagon...
