Bought not built...
I picked up a 97 sport the other day!!! It has the 4.0 w/ aw4 tranny...here are some specs...
7 in Rusty's Long Arm , Quigley custom driveshaft(this co. does the 4x4 Vans,there work is stout) , Advance Adapters SYE , Spartan locked D30 front with Alloy axle tube seals. Aussie locked Chr. 8.25 rear. 35x12.5x15 SSR's The tires show chunking from the rocks. Cragar soft 8's. TnT Trac-bar with TnT bracket. Rusty's steering box brace....Rear leafs are Rusty's 6.5 leaf packs. Front spring are RC 6.5 coils with 2" spacer. Shocks and s/stabilzer are RC 2.2(the bigger ones). Everything has been put on new within last 9 months except the long arms and tires. The long arms are used but in good condition. JKS quick disconnects.
As of now I still have to get it inspected.
Shouldn't be that hard, but we shall see. Flares WILL be coming off as soon as it does, well the TJ flares will. I may go get some stock ones and throw them on the front.
Plans are...
4.88 gears
Alloy shafts
Sliders
Bumpers front/rear
and more.
Now some pictures...
Uh oh!!!

I will add a bit of background here also...
I had an 89 YJ before this on a 3.5in BDS lift with 33x12.5 MT/R with Kevlar. It gave me nothing but trouble and it got old after a while.
So I put it up forsale and traded the YJ for the cherokee, which is in much better shape.
I normally would have gone with a stock jeep and built it up, but this is my dream jeep and I would have built it up pretty much the same, just a few different things.

Nice! I hope you know they guy who inspects your jeep. Im in MD too. Unibody lift laws suck. 20" bumper height max. For trucks i beleive it is 26" I could be mistaken though. I'm over, but thats now after some upgrades

I think I know the guy who you bought that XJ from. I picked up a bunch of parts off him a little while ago. He has a very nice XJ and I know it's capable. Did he live in Walkersville?

Haven't posted in a while on here so lets see what has happened...
Not a whole lot. It did get totaled. :laugh: No big deal, should be getting a nice 2k check here real soon.
Going to be buying new tires for it.
I put some buchwackers on the front yesterday and realized just how much I hate idiots...
What it looks like now...

No got totaled when I got rear-ended. Though I still need to get it inspected, but I have to wait for the insurance check to fix the hatch and bumper.
