Hey All,
Some nice XJ's in here. I have a 2000 Classic that I am slowly getting where I want it. I got it about 5 years ago now, and have slowly been adding stuff to make it more trip friendly.

2 x 50 WATT rack mount backup lights
SportRack safari basket
CVT 55" awning
Hi Lift mount
custom rock lights LED with custom switch panel

Thanks man (if you are talking about me). Super happy with the trailer, it is exactly what I wanted and turned out better than I had hoped. Phase 2 next spring will include the water tank, pump, on demand HW and a few other goodies. Will be doing some work on the Cherokee soon too. Currie Johnny Joints to replace the blown out RC ones, fix the rear leafs to get back to 4.5" lift, new coils and some steering stuff. Ordered a T&T Customs steering box backing plate/brace and the new box will be going in HOPEFULLY next week.

I want it to be back at 4.5-5" lift, has sagged a bunch in the past few years <insert sad face>.
