slow ultimate wj build "SLOW"
On December 23, 2009 I purchased my first 2003 Jeep Grand Cherokee
I was very excited to own a Jeep.
This was what she looked like when i first bought her
I rocked it out stock for a few weeks, then I decided I need to start modififying it. First thing I was to replace was the factory head unit.

Then I wanted a little bump
Im very much into wheeling just as much as i am into listening to music.
But things have changed and im slowly downsizing on the audio in the jeep as i have no cargo room
So skip 6 months later, and i purchased my Rough Country X-Series 4" lift

Recieved it at my job I was very happy to see the ups guy pulling up
about a week or two later we started the install of the lift

This is how the quick disconnect from rough country should look.
After a very very long night 16 hours total we got to this

And a day later for tires
 265/70r17 no trim no rub
Went with a few buddies out to his land and had a little fun

So I was able to do the 242 swap on October 3, 2010. All new u-joints, but one thing i forgot to do was, replace seals while it was out. So now i have to pull 242 and do new seals. But it must wait since im getting married October 10, 2010 at 4:30 EST.
So it will have to wait till the following weekend.
Also purchased Clarion NV500 with nav to install for the long trips me and my fiancee take. Will have pics up soon of the swap. Didnt take any during but will when i pull it again.
