Default Basso's Red XJ

1997
4.0
AX-15
D30/8.25
3" RC Coils
3.5" s10 Bastard Pack

She started life out with me with a saggy rear end and gray flares. That was in Nov. 08



Eventually I did some audio upgrades, head unit, speakers and sub.

Added Hellas, painted the flares, removed door trim, bedlined rockers.



And this past week I finally lifted it. Been wanting to since my first xj in 06.





Future plans include 31"s and armor and skids.

Hope you guys like it so far.

Thanks! The front has 3" lift coils and the rear was a s10 bastard pack which got about 3.5". The black on the doors is Rustoleum roll on bedliner.

The money to pay for the skids is too far away, so I havent even looked around yet.

Im trying to seal the deal for a set of used 31" mt/r's, but im still waiting to see how much tread they have left.

I'm back at school so everything gets real slow.

Things I need to fix
Front wheel bearing
One weld nut broke off while putting in my t-case drop so its not as tight as I would like.
Straighten front hardlines and get a yj rear brake line.
