havnt done much. put on the CIA from my old jeep into this one. also dielectric greased all the plug wires and used wire dry on the cap and rotor, hopefully this helps with the no starts when its wet out. Hopefully soon the lift will be installed.

Well the jeeps got 150k on it and its freking clean no rust. Its a 97. I bought it for 1500$ which isn't bad at all. I have a lift kit for it already. I have about 2k$ coming in march or april so I was thinking about buying another xj that was 4x4 but then I was thinking since this one is in such good condition why not just make this one 4x4 but I'm not sure I want to do the work lol.

Yeah the swap is pretty straight forward. I guess it all depends on what deals I find when I have that cash in my hands. Can I use like a 95 trans and tcase? Or does it have to be from a 97+

Alot of arch isnt what you want, if theres arch, then there is less down travel gonna be had. The flatter the springs, the better.
