Lightbulb 91 XJ Briarwood need Lift / Radio advice

Hey guys, i recently saw a bumper sticker for this site (good job PR guys) so i decided to check things out. Ok, so i have a 91 XJ Briarwood w/ 67k(yes, 67,000 org miles). My tires are low on tread & my suspension is pretty saggy cauz its all original. Time to change it all. Since im going to be spending the $ im thinking i might as well lift it a bit & see if i can beef up the tires with out going over board. Im looking at these , what do you guys think? What tires would you suggest with out removing the stock fender flairs? Picked this site because ive ordered from them before, but if anyone has any suggestions im open. Also, I have a Pioneer F700BT Double Din in dash Navi that i would like to install. I have no problem cutting out the vent but the problem is the heater controls & Vac lines. Ive seen pics of it done but haven’t found any walkthroughs. Any one have any ideas / suggestions? Ya i have a little tom tom but id like to have something integrated in to my sound system. Anyone know any Single din navis that maybe fold down instead of up? Im leaving for the Army active duty in Jan so im looking to get this all dont with in 2 months. Thanks for the help guys

That Jeep is SWEET!!! I love the Air Assault tag on the hood. My old man has it tatted across his arm. As for single din's, Check out Eclips. You're gonna spend money, but they have alot of stuff. Rosen makes a bunch of flip out (not sure up/down), but they might be worth checking out.
nice rig.
As for lift, I'm at 4.5 with stock flares on 31.10.5.15's. No need for that much lift if you're not wheelin it, so you might look at a budget boost and an add a leaf.
I'm sure others will chime in here shortly, but that my .02.
Good luck and keep us posted.

Hoora to your Dad. I just had the hood repainted & replaced that with a Army Logo since im not a paratrooper. Takes some pics soon. I do some light off roading with it but its such a rare care i dont want to beat on it. Im saving up for a 03 - 06 Wrangler Unlimited LWB which im going to turn into a off roading beast. In the mean time just wana beef it up a bit. Out of those kits i posted which would your suggest?

Sweet Xj man, I'm running 4.5" rustys lift with 32" and stock flares, they didn't rub when i put them on, due to some "trail fun" they rub a little now, my old 89' had 3" budget lift, new coils, add a leafs in the back on 30x10.5". was a nice little lift, but the 4.5 is much nicer. As far as decks go, there are a few single DIN naive units that don't fold at all, mines not a naive, but a touch screen dvd player with a 4.5" screen. far easier to deal with then cutting up such a fine dashboard. Got to respect the classics bro.
