The XJ is finally sitting at the stance which I’ve been trying to achieve for a while. The RE adjustable lowers definitely made a difference as I was able to push the axle forward and center the wheel in the wheel well. I think the 3.5” rear leaf with 1” shackle, and 4.5” front coil springs gave the XJ a nice stance. The new tires are Cooper STT Pros (295/70/17) on a 17x9 (4.75” bs) Pro Comp alloy

I will upload pics during the week when I get my final plan in order. The plan right now is for it to be mounted behind the bumper crossmember on the unibody. My only concern will be if there’s enough airflow there so I will be doing some tests. For me it makes sense to mount it there as it is out the way and protected. The link is the correct one, I got the Derale 13200 off Amazon for just under $30. It’s a well made unit consisting of a copper core

Recently installed my rear Hi Lift jack mount along with my Fiskars shovel. It’s fastened onto the handle of the Jack with fist clamp mounts. Everything is secure and out of the way. Pictured on the left is my ViAir air compressor which is hardwired to a relay under the hood, and controlled by a switch in the center console (contura switch by the ash tray). The rear trunk cargo liner also neatens things up nicely.
I mounted a Ram 1 inch ball mount by my dash area, with an arm and X grip. My phone sits very securely when driving on and off road.

The XJ is rocking a new look! JCR Crusader front bumper, JCR Base utility rack, new headlights, Rigid D series pods in the bumper and KC Lazr cubes.
I’m really liking of how the look is being tied together

I got my ARB 2000 awning mounted. This will come in very useful whilst camping, as I have the deluxe room attachment for it too. The 2000 covers the roof length perfectly and makes for a clean and sleek looking fit.
Attached are also pictures of the AFE Cold Air Intake I installed, as well as a DW Designs 62mm throttle body. I still have 4 port injectors from KSuspension that need to be installed, but that will only be once I get my fuel pump replaced.

I have really been happy with them so far. Road noise is minimal for this size tire and drastically less noisy compared to my buddy’s 35x12.5x17 BFG KM2 Mud Terrain.

The XJ has been working hard the last 2 weeks! Will add a detailed post in the coming days of the latest additions. So far I’ve really enjoyed the added storage capacity of the JCR rack

Sweet ride. I like all the upgrades and pics up north. Going to 4 peaks tomorrow for some sledding with another xj friend and our kids, maybe we'll see you up there.
Keep up the good work.
