Default XJ's in Austin

Heading to Austin soon and plan to beef up the ride. Places to go and things to see? I see there is $ Wheel Part shop there. Any other ideas?

There are other shops I would recommend over 4wheelparts. I had "Just Jeeps" do my front locker. Another place you can look for XJ guys is the Facebook group "ATxj". Just send a request to join. if you post up ahead of time you can normally find a few guys willing to come help you wrench on your jeep.

Thanks all.

I am in Round Rock and since time is money, I may look at taking Jeep over to MotorMan as I may have a bad head gasket. Once I get that done then I can beef her up a bit with some fun stuff.

Also I did ping the ATxj group for the add on Facebook.
