Here are two of my XJ mods, the first is a cargo organizer and built in tool box for the cargo area and the second is a hitch mount rear tire spare carrier. I just like building things and the XJ is a great platform for ideas. Really enjoy this thread on the Forum and visit it often.

not cheap, but cool and functional.

also, there are different styles that have directional vents, filters, etc... but the install is pretty much the same.

Now this is got to be a joke. No way just insulating the rubber intake will you net a 50 degree drop. Where did you get this number? Are you using a scan tool with IAT's on it?

I can't believe what people do to intakes and think they are actually helping. Like the first page with the aluminum wrap on the intake.

[vx1kxj]

I am a free lance videographer. That is acually a power inverter so that i can run small tools and charge my camera/sound equipment. it also is a great power point to a small worklight. The av hook ups will eventually go into my subs and amp to hook my camera equipment up to

Thanks

I just used 2 corner braces that I picked up from Lowes since my CB didn't come with a bracket.

What a cool thread. Lots of great, practical tips here.

you'll have to take a picture of that rally vent and post it. I'm curious to see what that would look like on a cherokee

Maglite Mount:
I drive an XJ so I'm not sure how well this works for everyone else, but I just squeeze my 2D Mag in between my drivers seat and the center console:

This works way better than putting it between the seat mounting brackets on the left side and its also totally free.

Escape Hammer Mount:
I know this is totally overkill, but I got the gadget for Christmas and I figured why not? It came with a mounting bracket, but that was bulky and required drilling holes in my console:

I just used three Velcro circles I had lying around. Its easy to reach here, even if I manage to roll over It's also a small (ineffective) flashlight and a seatbelt cutter.

Trunk Milk Crate:
I had the bungee on the floor of my car, and I found the crate at the bottom of a local lake I just ran the bungee through the side of the crate and hooked either end on to the metal luggage ties on the floor.

This works great for groceries, or any other random stuff that's rolling around like my copious coolant bottles (thats another thread), and it's easily removed.

4 days? It can be done but why rush it? You will dive into it say tomorrow and then you run into trouble... Like broken bolts in the rear leaf. You'll also need an alignment. Then you wont make it out on Saturday. Wait after then you can start your build. You'll be surprised on what your stock XJ can do. Check your PM..

I made a switch box that I can add switches to as I go:
