im new here so im gonna start a build thread. let me kno what yall guys think. i bought this jeep less then six months ago and have installed a 3 inch rough country lift. removed the flares. bedlined the rockers and trimmed the fenders to clear the 33's

The Blacksmith

looks like a really solid start. Cant wait to follow this build.

i finally got my new bumper. i ordered the jcr offroad stage 3 front bumper. i believe it was well worth the wait. its sweet lookin. Ill post up pics as soon as i can.

take off the rear sway bar it will flex way better in the rear

96xjsport

I plan on taking off the rear swaybar. right now ive still got it on until i buy my new lift. and since im only runnig 3 inches of lift. flex is limited with 33's

here are some pics of my new front bumper. its pretty stout.

nice rig man. when you trimmed your rear, did u fold back the flaps or cut just below the spot welds? if you folded them back how far apart did you cut the flaps.? i want to that to my rear fenders as well but did know how much to cut.

96xjsport

thanks. i did the cut and fold in the rear. i cut about 2 inches apart and when i cut the bends cut about every inch or half inch

Jeep is looking nice. I live in Mt. Sidney Va. Not to far from Grottoes.. I have two jeeps, 2000 Wrangler with 4" lift and extras and a 1997 XJ with 8" lift sitting in a friend of mines garage with work to be done to it before it's trail/road worthy. We'll have to hook up some time and do some wheeln. Keep the build going..

ive got some family over in mt sidney. i plan on putting about 6.5 inches of lift on mine prolly in the next few months

I have a feeling this XJ is going to be sick

96xjsport

ive got some pretty big plans for it. 6.5 inch lift,maybe 35s,lockers,rear bumper with tire carrier,winch and hopefully a dana 44 in the rear once i find one.

PUNISHER

6.5" lift will be nice. Keep us posted..

96xjsport

Yea. 6.5 will b nice. I don't wanna go to big. Was thinkin about 8 inch at one time but I don't kno if I wanna put an 8 in it.
