Amazingly clean. Very nice work.

And another thanks for posting the cage brackets.

I may steal a bit of your design whenever I do mine.

Did you drop the t-case or install an SYE when you put the lift in? If not, are you getting driveline vibes at 3.5"?

I made my own T-Case drop and it still vibed pretty bad. I ended up removing the drop and doing a SYE and it drives great now.

good to hear, and yeah i understand. bushwackers arent really my thing either, but some wheel spacers or rims with more backspacing+bushwackers on your xj would look great.

last time i flexed mine out the front fenders popped off and tweeked one of the fenders, not fun lol i want to trim, but like having fenders.

Ah yes, my kind of build. So clean. I love the EXO Cage as well as the cage inside. Such a sweet-capable looking Jeep. More updates please.

Your jeep has become one of my favorite on the forum in the 10 minuted it took me to look over the build. I have NEVER seen a jeep so clean with a cage. I am still in disbelief... amazing.
