Default Can you identify this XJ

I just purchased a 1998 Cherokee from a used car dealer in SC and was hoping to find the original owner (it was a one owner vehicle).

The dealer has left me with many unanswered questions such as: What lift does it have and how much? What are the origins of the other upgrades?

Here are some pics:

Other than the buggered-up left front it looks sweet. I wish my ol plain jane 88 looked as good.

Damn that is pretty nice, it's at least 6.5". If you don't mind sharing, how much did you get it for?

It looks higher than a 6.5 inch lift. Looks more around 8 inches of lift to me. What size tires are on it?

I know that XJ. I believe it was owned by a guy in Delaware..

The NEUROC sticker is a PA based Jeep competition. Might want to post up on www.deja.com asking if anyone recognises it.

The bumpers look to be from Custom4x4 Fabrication.

Post pic of the suspension and mods, we can help ID them. Measure for the lift: http://www.mike-g.net/jeep/yinyang/tech/rideheight/. With all the trimming you can't measure from flare to wheel center.
