EG00TJ's Build thread.. Slow but steady

Alright well i guess its that time!.. This is my 3rd jeep and i finally owe it to it to make a build thread. I bought this jeep on January 27, 2010 from a local dealership. I immediately Had plans and a build in order for it .

Shes a 92 XJ Limited with tan leather guts, fogs, 242tc , etc ..

Stock :


I immediately purchased my tires .. along with my 15x8 black soft 8s


About a week and half later, My RE 4.5" Superflex kit came in , Full leaf packs, RE Gen 2 Disco's , and RE steering stabilizer...

So after that was allll said and done .. here is how she sat .. The install took about 7 hours ..



So Next on the list was to touch it up a little with some krylon fusion black paint .. Shiney !! (After taking the pic, i noticed the loose jam nut on the disco's)

Next was , If i was gonna have accessories and what not , Im definally going to need a battery that can take it. And the battery it came with was getting a little low on the guage. So i put in Altima Redtop..



While i was in there, I decided to do the Manual Switch for the elect fan.. I followed the write up in the XJ Tech section.. Simple !!

Dang looks great. Its amazing you've only had that for about a month and all the money you've put in it already. I'm just now finally getting my 3" lift this week after having mine for 4 months. But anyway great job so far.
