New to the XJ....
 

Hey people, Im new to this Jeep thing and am really getting into this whole jeep vibe with mudding, rock climbing and ect. I bought my first jeep while i was in afghanistan and couldnt wait to see it when i got home. I bought this 1998 for 2k with 160k on it. Come to say the jeep runs perfect and everything works on it, no leaks nor engine noise. sounds like a brand new vehicle. As of right now it is BONE stock but will soon transform into a nice RIG to go offroading in.

That is a very clean Jeep ya got there....get it dirty :D

Thats the plans.. HAHA. do u know of anyone wanting to sell rims and tires? 31x10.5x15 by any chance?

Nice Jeep! And Thanks for your time in Afghanistan!

I have some 31x12.50 super swampers but they are way down here in TX.

I got some tj flares if you get ^^^those 31x12.50, they'll stick out a bit and cover up most of that 12.50.. :cowboy:

Tom, you need to lift that jeep at least 3 in. go to www.roughcountry.com and look at their kits. since yours is nice, look at your rear leafs and see if they sag alot. they dont look like they do so you should only need the kit with AAL (add a leaf). its cheap and easy. then you can put those 31s on. another easy upgrade is ripping those stock fender flares off and cutting. gives you more room for articulation.
