Well, I'm a light junky, but I agree that not all lights and not all light locations are beneficial. I like to place my big lightbar over my roof and not in front of my winshield. I put special care on making sure my roofline casts a shadow over all my hood or at least over 80% of it, in the end, that light is meant to give you a super far beam light for highspeed and not a close by ilumination for crawling. I always like to have: Fog lights in amber Upgraded headlights with warm light (not white, not amber). Offroad beams aiding my OEM high beams in a natural white light A pilar dual lights (offroad beam pods looking towards the front and wide or difused light pods aimed towards the ditches). Finally, the last forward facing light would be an overhead lightbar aimed fuper far away for highspeed. I also put aftermarket rear lights and some camping lights facing to the sides of the rig. Now, for the winch bumper... Not everyone can or needs a winch. I agree with the fact that it is a great tool and a very important one for some trails. But there are lots of people who dont need one at all. I like to take my rig offroading, I so go through some snow in the winter and some mud ocassionally as well as some difficult places. But I never go on my own, I always carry a nice recovery rope, traction boards and I also have 2 lockers in the damn diffs. So, If nothing inside my gear can help me recover, I can take the ropes out, tie myself to other vehicles and be pulled out. Now, If I were to go on my own or just in a 2 vehicle adventure, It would be an absolyte must. But my winch lives in the bumper to look good and not be used (not even once, It is still brand new except for the mud that has gotten into it.) Angry eyes are not worth it, I didn't know they existed but they are a horrible Idea. Everybody who owns an XJ and wants to take it to the mud and dirt should get a nice set of wheels and tires, good quality lift, at least the rear locker, armour and good lights (and an air compressor would also be a good idea). Those are the only absolute essentials
ewwwwww I kinda wish I didn't know that they made the angry eyes for the XJ! That mod feels equivalent to people that put eyelashes on their car lol.... so dumb
agree with everything you said other than the light bar, always had my mounted on the roof but i know exactly what your talking about when it come to that glare, i always move mine back and angle down, only ripped two off at Wellsville lol
My jeep has fake beadlocks from the PO. I live in the desert so water isnt a problem but i agree on them being outdated. The only benefit i see from them is that it protects the valve stem better than some other wheels. Good video 👍
Hey Ronnie! Are the mods yesterday's fads, or are we all just a year older and smarter? I would love to stay and chat, but I have to rush out and get some of 2024's must have's! We should Overland together! 😂😂😂
didn’t know about the fake beadlocks one! i had those in my cart to buy later but you saved me some headache! I agree with all the other shit though, anyone who’s getting angry about your opinion probably has marriage issues & their job makes their life miserable 😂
All I see is someone who has problems with those mods. Himself doesn't mean everyone else. Does he kind of talks out of his a** about the Jeep s*** Like the overhead light bar is f****** amazing. And if you don't want it, ripping out Weld to the f****** Jeep.
All The Mods you're talking about for the jeeper. Great minus the the grill mode. But who doesn't use light bars on their jeep, especially on cherokees, because the headlights suck
@@alexwhitman3962 I put 4 square lights on the roof and I love them. They are waterproof, impact resistant, have been in the branches many times and are still great. Just this weekend I stayed in the woods after dark and for me it's a great thing to have.
Didn't even know angry eyes for the XJ was even a thing..😁😂
😂😂😂 Neither do I. 😅
The picture he used is 3d printed for a RC car/toy
Exactly what i came to say. @@Soon2BeDraggin
I see the same grill on real jeeps in wv
Love the harbor Freight moving blanket background. I have that on my wall too

I'm about to order .75" or 1" puck spacers to level my jeep out a bit. Have a 4.5 lift but it has a hell of a rake to it.
Hell yea im new xj owner minty fresh 96 sport 4.0 lift time,!
Keep it nice! They're getting harder to find. Especially the renix models
The "angry eyes" grill on a axial scx10 II rc crawler. Knight customs. I think all the angry eyes look bad and any jeep.
Ther Goliath bumpers are dope
Been following you for years. Thanks for the great video. Angry eyes on an XJ is trying to appropriate Wrangler culture. Haha
So what fender flares do you recommend? And what would be good lighting options?
Notch customs xj flares, they suck to install but if you have a pro do it they look amazing
those plastic fenders make me so mad
The angry grill fir the xj is litteraly for a try truck?

Adams Driveshafts all day plus you get a free T-shirt 😁
Wtf do u have a 6" lift for on a 2wd
Angry eyes make me weak
What brand lift kit do you recommend?
Iron rock off-road has great lifts specially if you don’t want to do any extra fabrication
Please send me a link for the xj front bumber
Goliath off-road trekker bumper. I have one on my XJ.
Every time I see a "5 jeep xj mods you must do", it is a pretty good list of bad ideas... oh crap one was your video from 2019... ooph, haha!
What “place” requires you to have a winch on your jeep? Lmao
didn’t know about the fake beadlocks one! i had those in my cart to buy later but you saved me some headache! I agree with all the other shit though, anyone who’s getting angry about your opinion probably has marriage issues & their job makes their life miserable 😂

I wanna be just like you when I grow up
