Congratulations Sreejesh!!!!
Another "heart over mind" project in the making huh?? Am glued! Keep it going!

On a sadder note, I see that you have sold your previous 550xd. I was very keen on acquiring that but couldn't arrange finances on time. Happy to know that it has gone into the hands of a true Jeeper!! Nevertheless,
I wish you the very best for your 2006xd restoration:-)
Let me know the price and other details over a pm!

Nice setup for practical purposes.

Those lights being spring loaded..any reason for the same...

Ribin, is one lucky guy to have got this jeep.

With all those extra lights and considering his wildlife photography, I hope, an alternator/battery upgrade is next.
