Default My 96 XJ - What you think?

After hydrolocking my first jeeps engine, and having a ton of other stuff wrong with it, I decided to get a new vehicle. Another XJ

I picked this up for a grand, Its a 1996 Xj 4.0HO NP242 with chrysler 8.25 rear end / 3.73 gearing with 136k on it. Has a 3" lift, not sure what kind it is but im thinking that it is the rustys 3", has a TC drop. Tires are kumho road venture M/Ts 31/10.5, hella 500 lights, trimmed bumper, K&N, flowmaster 40 exhaust, the rockers are brand new, not a touch of rust. very minimal rust to be found on the whole thing, besides in the back hatch area which i just welded in a new tub for the back., good as new.
Heres the pics,





In front of the old jeep:


Wheeling is a blast with this thing, Ill have some pics up eventually when i get the chance to.

Thanks for the replies. As far as wheeling goes, Im usually out every weekend, just nobody else to really go with, nobody elses trucks around here can get in as far as i can with my jeep, so usually i just end up pulling them out and turning around. Any Idea's for a cheap but good looking bumper? I want to eventually get it so when its clean, it looks really nice, but still better for trails than when I got it, but I am on a low high school budget so well see how that works out,
