Thanks! It's a great feeling to finally be able to modify an XJ after all these years spent waiting!

you can run 33s with a 3 inch lift is just how much metal you want to cut to clear them.

i ran 32s on a 2in BB with a sagged rear leaf pack

Sooo..For like a couple of years now

Just teasing. Congrats. 16! Wow. When I was 16 I was still riding my bike places. Good luck and always count your blessings and appreciate what a fortunate young man you are.

Thanks! You have no idea how happy I am to have my jeep! Life is great!
