Thanks I appreciate that!
That's a bummer! It's a nice yearly event! Maybe see you out there next year! Hopefully by then I will be locked and caged!
Not entirely sure what you mean?
1st one in 5 years I missed...Not entirely sure what you mean?

Nice rig bro. I have an 01 also and was planning on going with 33's when I lift it too. Do you have any vibrations without a SYE and how do it pull without re-gearing.

when you deleted the cat does the engine light came on? how hard is it to remove the front doors? i heard the 00-01 door latch pins are more difficult to remove than the earlier xj.

Now for the doors, pre years are a lot easier to do! For mine my friend helped me cut the OEM door pins, from there I order new door pins witch work great for removal and the door shuts fine and has minimal sag. For removal all I have to do is remove these 3-4 electrical plugs from under the dash by your feet, run them thew the fender and then pop the pins out and door is off. It takes me around 10minutes for both now. Also sense the electrical wiring takes abuse from this I wrapped it more in electrical tape to help it from damaging the wire.
Thanks man!

Wanted to show you guy's this CB mount that my buddy made for me!
I am running a 3" spring with a 4' Firestik, It is great on the trails! It does go into a death cycle when your on the freeway with some high winds! I have a video I will try to upload to show you what I mean.

Did a little work this morning, replaced the U-Joints on my front shaft, along with a centering ball!
I used all Spicer joints, with are greaseable from the end caps.
