I bought my Jeep back in March, 2004. My parents helped me pay for it as part of my graduation present. I got it from a friend's dad who owns a Ford dealership. I payed $5,100 with 88,000 miles.
When I got it, it was slammed to the ground with no tint on the windows and a junk aftermarket tape player.
First to be replaced was the tape player. Next I got the windows tinted. I went through several variations of speaker set-ups. I ended up replacing all the door speakers with Audiobahn 6.5" 3-way speakers and installed 8 new tweeters, not including the tweeters in the 4 new door speakers. I've been to several car shows and had my jeep pressure tested. I hit 154db last time I went to a show. Not bad for having no dynomat.
I then replaced the junk 1-1/4" trailer hitch with a 2" reciever so I could tow my trailer and pop-up camper. I then replaced the stock air box with an aluminum tube and a K&N filter. I also picked up a PowerAid throttle body spacer.
Soon after I started planning my lift. I was looking into a BB but I wanted more. So I began planning a Front to Rear swap. After the install I picked up some new 31x10.5 BFG A/T's. About a year later I got a set of Dick Cepek 15" DC1's
Not too long ago I painted all the body molding and I'm pretty happy with the results. I also won a free set of T&T Sliders recently and just finished getting those installed. I also picked up a Gas tank skid.
I then installed an electric fan and just finished relocating the switch to the dash. The Taurus fan I installed is amazingly efficient. It keeps the engine cooler that the stock fan did.

Later I got ambitious and decided to swap out my piece of junk 249 for a 242 from a '91 XJ. I wanted to keep the full-time option.

Soon after all this someone got jealous and decided to break into my Jeep and try and steal my system. He cut all the wires but, obviously couldn't lift it out so he stole my wallet and digital camera.

This Christmas I was treated to a new compressor that I soon found room to fit in the back. I wired it into a 600 watt inverter.
