99' XJ: Slowly Going Down Under.

[Hill, Bill E.]

Wow! Nice clean Jeep!!

Bummer about the OME lift, that was a great score! But it's good to see you have your priorities in order! (Family first)

Within' a few weeks of having the Solid cover on there, I got some gnarly grinding from the Jeep... Turns out it was the Tie-Rod hitting the Solid Diff. cover so I had some grinding to do:

Relocated Maglite mount:

Finally got my C4x4 Tow Hooks & Brackets in.

A cool picture a friend took:

Welp, luck finally struck. I was in attendance at the 2nd annual "Don't Fear the Jeeper" event presented by Dick Hannah, and happen to put 12 doll-hairs worth of raffle ticket into the Bushwacker prize box. My number was called for a sweet pair of Bushwacker Flat Fender Flares for a 2-Door JK. I was so stoked to find I had won! I want to say thanks to Don't Fear the Jeeper for putting on an awesome event, as well Bushwacker.

Well the fun doesn't stop there because with the money I got from selling those new fender flares, I put it all towards purchasing the Old Man Emu kit I so desired...

Well my Craigslist addiction brought me to another find. Brand new JCR Gas Tank Skid for $175. Still in packaging and un-painted:highfive:.

Before posting, I want to make clear that all pictures were either taken at a STATE PARK or on PRIVATE PROPERTY.

I was fortunate enough to bring along my Jeep to my girlfriend's dad best friends house. It was a beautiful piece of property. Trails were tight though so we were mostly on some crazy Japanese 4x4 or Kawasaki Mule DIESEL! It was a blast so without further a due, here are some pictures:

Standard cluster gauges. No more dummy gauges!!!

The mileage on the full cluster reads: 155,288.
The TRUE mileage of the Jeep is 102,714.
Just a few updates. Wanted to stop looking at the ugly-ness of my steering wheel so I bought a cover for it.
