Family XJ build is starting to get serious. The jeep in my possession has been mostly the same in the nearly 7 years ive owned it. 6 years it was at 3 inches of lift on short arms.
Until recently the jeep was mostly just used for daily driving and getting around town and the sake of owning a jeep. Now were getting more and more into the idea of rock climbing and having fun offroad. upgraded the 3 inch lift to a 4.5" trail master kit. and about a month later i realized the ride quality was terrible and my axle was stuffed up under neath the cab.
So long arms were in order. was able to source a used Rubicon Express long arm kit, only bought the long arms and the crossmember because most of the other components were still new enough to be worried about them.
Still a build progress.. currently plans for FamilyXJ are coilovers for the front end, shackle sliders for the rear end, and some Notch Customs Xmax fender flares to get some better clearance
