Just finished the install of a Slip Yoke Eliminator (SYE). I had a transfer case drop for years and didn't think the vibrations were too bad, but man did that make a difference!

Well, its only a baby in the overlanding style build but Im making more progress. Recently added a smittybilt awning (the big one) and am changing out some LED lights outside and swapping the interior to OneWayLight.com's LED kits. Shopping for a power inverter next, and working on headliner replacement still.

Here is my 97 cherokee sport. It has a bunch of small mods including a bumper, lights, winch, OHC, CB, Rear AUX outlet and a plethora of engine modifications. Thanks!

Here is my engine bay as it sits today. It has a K&N air filter, 4-hole injectors, Upgraded stainless exhaust manifold which I wrapped with titanium heat wrap from a race car. (A little overkill I know, but I can literally touch my manifold as the car is running) so safe to say there is no more heat soak. It also has an all new cooling system (Rad, water pump, T-Stat, hoses), new valve cover gasket, new power steering pump and lines (after the picture) that blew up on my during my last trip to the abandoned town of Centralia, PA. And a bunch of other small things im forgetting.

could you link me to a source for those wheels?

look like factory Mopar Rally wheels from the 70's/80's to me.

Just picked this one up a couple weeks ago. It's my 6th XJ. Haven't been able to get off road yet, but have been able to get the bumpers and winch on. front bumper is from rlcweldfab on ebay. good quality and fit! rear bumper is a smittybilt xrc. winch is also a smittybilt xrc, 9500lb. with synthetic winch line. i still need to get my line on the winch. i also have a t-case skid to go on. Jeep is a 97 with 145k miles. 2" lift, bushwhacker flat flares, 31x10.5 bfg a/t's. my days of full throttle into the biggest mud hole are over. lol! i just want something capable to do some overlanding and light trails, camping, fishing etc. i'm sure there will be more mods to come!

That little guy? I wouldn't worry about that little guy.

That's because that picture is actually from the previous owner. I haven't got a good picture of it since I bought it last weekend because I immediately started wrenching on it to fix the driver's side passenger door. It's jammed up good and is taking my patience back to school.
