Well...made a few changes yesterday. Since it's do dang hot here in AZ..the XJ temp was heading well over 210 pretty often..especially when coming up hills. So i went ahead and took my hoop bumper off and installed a non hoop bumper along with relocating the LED lights to the front face...No more heat issues! Now she stays below 210 all the time

Super nice XJ. I love mine but its a long way from yours. I am thinking of doing the the rear coil set up of my own but i like the look of yours what brand is it?
I used to live in Prescott for a few years the weather there is better than most of the state. I work in a couple bars up there back in the day.

The rear coil setup that i'm using is a modified RK kit. i chose to run this setup rather than a dual rear triangulated setup because of its stability (Straight rear lowers/triangulated rear uppers and a 2" rear push total).

I love prescott, it an awesome town for outdoors. I do a lot of mountain biking (down hill) and prescott is absolutely packed with amazing trails and biking events/races. It's a good place to be in the summer!

ol thx for the info. I get up there a couple times a year as my aunt still lives there. My first 4x4 was a 77 cj5 that i got up there and started hitting the trails. I may look you up next time i am in town to check the xj out in person.

A local dealer here in AZ quoted me a price on these rear quarter armors for my xj at $282.99.

lol... well, you should tell ORF to put them to production... 'cause it sounds like you'd have plenty of interest for consistent sales.
