Default 1995 Bright Blue Sport (Cookie Monster)

Here is my 1995 XJ I picked up in May 2011 with only 36,000 original miles. Absolutely in MINT condition. The jeep came with a 2" Teraflex BB lift, BFG All terrain's, and the D-Window series wheels. I just ordered Rough Country's X-series 4.5" lift today and am going to pick out my 32x11.5 BFG KM2's tomorrow at Belle Tire. This is my first SUV, as I have been a muscle car, mustang kind of guy. I may need some help from you fellow jeepers out there with this build, which I plan on taking a crack at myself.

I've had a 99 and an 03 cobra. The 03 had 600hp to the rear. Sold that due to MI weather only letting me drive it 3 months out of the year. Picked my xj up in Pittsburgh after finding it on ebay.. and I'm 22 btw.

Nice dude, wish I had money for that kind of stuff at such a young age haha. I was gonna say, a 600hp car is no good up in Michigan of all places. My dad's 427R is chipped and sitting at 542hp at the wheels. He works from home so he puts like 3,000 on it every year lol. He probably can't even remember the last time he put gas in it.

Just wondering, how much did you pay for the xj? I've never been lucky enough to find one with that color around here. I would snag it in a heartbeat.

It's not a trail rig, I just want a beefed up daily driver that sits higher and looks more aggressive. Winter should be a good time though.

It will be. I said I ordered the RC x-series lift and will be starting the install on Monday.
I recently removed the red "sport" stripes, tinted the front side markers black, and put in a 6000k hi-lo HID kit conversion. Will post pics shortly

Stripes removed! Literally peeled them right off then goo-goned where the taped was left over. Used VHT nightshades for the front side marker lights.
