Any Jeepers in here?

[Sgtusmc]

Thought I'd ask here before I go to naxja and cherokee forums. Is there a difference between the cheaper SLE kits ($169) and the more expensive ones ($250-300)?

Well, finally had a day to work on my back brakes. Of course I twisted off the brake line on one of the wheels so will have to replace brake lines now. I am putting all new brake parts on so I might as well replace the brake lines while I am at it.

Anyone going to the 17th Penn’s Woods Jeep Jamboree this June?

Made a trip to pik a part today and scored an XJ front drive shaft for when I install an SLE.

You know you a jeep owner and lover when you offer to drive four hours to get a friends Jeep closer to off road parks for when he is home from his job so he can wheel. Okay, maybe I would have to drive it once a week or so also.

Not a fan of those forums (or NAGCA either). Lots of BS on there.
BTW, what is a "SLE" ??

Do you mean "SYE" ?

I ran two different XJ's with about 5" of lift and no SYE. No vibe issues either (did change to RE adjustable lower C arms though, and dropped the T case an inch). Proly kinda nice if you blast a rear shaft and have a SYE.........................can remove and still drive it without spillage.

Over the weekend, I started installing the KC windshield mounted lights my wife got me for Christmas.

I started to drill under the dash into the firewall so I can run ground for the light switch. Worked out pretty good, until I notice a liquid pouring out from under my jeep.

Closer inspection revealed I drilled into the rear windshield fluid line. (I used to have a factory installed hardtop) Crap crap CRAP!!

I had to splice it back together with a brass piece. So far it's not leaking.

The windshield lights look good though.

FYI, always double check everything before you drill a hole. I thought I was clear of everything. Nope.

So... How many topless jeeps running around today? Too nice NOT to!

I'll get some pictures at lunch.

My top is on right now I'll probably take it off after tomorrow.

Here are a couple pictures.....I also went ahead and put the sunroof down.

 

[eldirector]

You need more lights!

 

[lovemachine]

Nah, I have plenty

 

[lovemachine]

A pair of fog lights, a pair of driving lights, and a pair of spot lights. That's all ya need!

 

[terrehautian]

My XJ doesn't have a sunroof, so I lived vicariously through my Honda with the sunroof open on my way to work today.

specs on the lift? I wanna do a lift similar to that to mine.

I don't have a Jeep but wondering if somebody could recommend a nice universal LED light bar. Thanks
