I have a big ugly dealership badge stuck on the back of mine that has to come off.

I've been wanting a multi-tool kit for a long time. The reviews on the Hi-Lift are excellent. I really like the telescoping handle and overall size of this kit. If you shop around, you will find they are very affordable.

Hi-Lift Handle-All: 4 Tools in 1

Telescoping implement handle
Full sized shovel head
Full sized sledge hammer head
Full sized axe head
Full size pick axe head
Branded gear bag for storage

We decided that the cargo liner would come in handy. The cargo liner matches the Husky front and rear mats. The fit is perfect.

Sir Sam sent me this photo. He picked these wheels up for me when he was at the bone yard. I think they will look good on the XJ. And yes, these are OE 17" X 7.5" KJ wheels. :mrgreen:

Here's what they look like with a 265/70/R17 tire mounted on it.

And here's what they look like after I got drunk and painted them last night:

Hey Rhett,

this one is for you man.....

some time in June

Oklahoma, where the wind comes sweepin' down the plain
And the wavin' wheat can sure smell sweet
When the wind comes right behind the rain.
Oklahoma, Ev'ry night my honey lamb and I
Sit alone and talk and watch a hawk
Makin' lazy circles in the sky.

We know we belong to the land
And the land we belong to is grand!
And when we say
Yeeow! Ayipioeeay!
We're only sayin'
You're doin' fine, Oklahoma!
Oklahoma O.K.

Okla-okla-Okla-Okla-Okla-Okla
Okla-okla-Okla-Okla-Okla-Okla...

We know we belong to the land
And the land we belong to is grand!
And when we say
Yeeow! Ayipioeeay!
We're only sayin'
You're doin' fine, Oklahoma!
Oklahoma O.K.

I took the OE Cherokee Sport decals off the door. Here’s what it looked like before and after:

Since taking on a more utilitarian role, I have changed my motor oil to accommodate 2,000 - 3,000 mile interval changes. I’m only driving somewhere between 2,000 - 3,000 miles every 6 months.

We’ve been using the TRICO Winter Blades on the KJ for over a year now, and so far they have held up good. They have a protective boot that helps prevent snow clogging. The thick heavy duty blade acts as a powerful squeegee even during heavy rains or removing heavily soiled windshields. I liked the blades so much that I decided to buy them for the XJ’s front and rear. Even though the instructions recommend 6 month changes, I think these will perform well for at least two years depending on how much you use and abuse them. For those who are anal like me, each blade comes with an optimizer cleaning and conditioning pad for the rubber blade.

Front and Rear bumpers are getting bed-lined! :mrgreen:
