Weird lol well, if ya see a half teal, half white xj, then honk lol

 

dont have a horn lol...

 

Lol ten bucks at harbor freight right now haha

 

that is one sharp XJ sir!!!

I especially like those wheels. How much did they run? (if you dont mind me asking)

 

Les Schwab Specials 350 bucks.. haha

 

Good to see another Oregon XJ. Your a little south of me. Go Ducks!

 

haha ducks is where it's at. it took me 6 months to find something to fill the hole in the door. haha but it looks good

 

nice rig

 

So all u got on there is a 2in RC lift? That looks pretty sweet man.

 

yup. its on of the old lifts though. they are built good. bought it for only 100 bucks. haha it came with all 4 shocks, coils in the front and add a leafs in the rear. and its stout.

 

Ya I've been debating whether to use shackles or the add a leafs in the back or to even just wait and save up for a bigger lift. But lookin at yours seems like a good size. And btw those ducks are gonna be able to handle the tigers lol

 

lol. and honestly in my opinion, get a 3 inch lift. they are so cheap. you dont have to do a sye. its practically just bolt on. and with any more than a 3 31" tires wont look good so you will need 33's which if you go with 33's i would strongly suggest going to 4.56 gears. because 3.55's is what i have and i'm guessing what you have wont turn 33's too well... with a 2 inch lift, 31x10.5's and 3.55 gears i get 12 MPG. with 33's ouch... maybe 10-12 if your lucky.

 

well i made up my mind about a winch, due to the price, and the fact that i am going to rarely use this winch: maybe once a year, i have chosen this winch.

From what i have been told they hold up actually reasonably well for $400 bucks. it comes with a warranty and i will spending a little extra for the extended warranty. any opinions/suggestions?
Now i know the saying you get what you pay for. but i dont need something that will hold up to constant use, because i'm simply not going to use it that much.

 

Interesting... I'm brand orientated and would just save up the extra money for a Warn, but that's just me. Like you said though, you're only going to use it once or twice a year so sounds like a good choice!

 

Well since you a fellow Oregon keeper I'm gonna follow this build. Good looking xj btw and that's one he'll of a score for the price
