At the local tint shop. Tint Master of Berlin. Having the front windows done to match the rears. Also got the winch installed today and put the new husky liner floor mats in along with the new Rancho steering stabilizer.
Also got the front end aligned this morning and it drives nice now
Going To take some pictures after the tint is done if it doesn't get to dark out before I can get home and grab the camera.
I hope I can get some updated pictures for all of

This will be my first build thread, ive owned a 94 Dodge ram 1500 with 9" lift. -> a 1999 dodge ram 2500 cummins all done up 500hp at the wheels and 1k torque. now i own my 2000 Camaro SS
(which is currently in hibernation) and that brings me to my XJ, she is a 1999 4Door Green Classic with the Camel interior. factory tow package/up country package/and many other goodies....
I bought it with a ("3 Inch lift" more like 2 in the front and stock in the rear with the sagg it has going on) and some beat up 31" cooper stt's. the engine wire harness was chopped up and had a ebay "performance" chip spliced into the wires going to the engine temp sender
needless to say my harness was trashed and my temp gauge had a mind of its own. i replaced the harness with a used one off ebay and now it runs mint. i did all the basic tune up stuff(plugs/wires/filters/fluids etc...)
here she is when i bought her...
i will take some pictures of the XJ tomarow with my new DSLR so we have some updated pics of her as of now.
right now i added 31" Goodyear Duratracs,Hella 500's on the front bumper,and a small stereo system with a 12" alpine type r in the back.
i have a HUGE pile of parts but am waiting for some to come in so i can install it all at once.
List of parts that i can think of as of now without looking in the garage is:
3.5" Rubicon Express SuperRide lift with Full Leafs
RE Monotube Shocks(currently ordered waiting for arrival)
SS Extended Front and Rear brake Line plus all new Hard steel lines
Rustys offroad Steering conversion kit for Tierod/drag link.
rustys offroad HD Track Bar
Rustys Offroad Dual steering stabilizers
JCR offroad pre runner winch bumper(on order)
Advanced Adapters SYE kit (shipped waiting for arrival)
Tom woods DS(Waiting on dimensions after SYE install and lift install but paid for)
rustys offroad Steering box brace.
and thats just what i remember now. im waiting to do it all in a bit install with lots of pictures once all the main parts i need come in IE the shocks and SYE. because i will need a alignment for alot of it and some brake bleeding to be done but it all would be alot easier to do in one shot since it needs the lift to be installed....
anyways i will update with more pics of the XJ as it sits now tomarow.
