I've got a few questions, i'm a fellow 2wd owner too.

Where'd you get that push bar? That's exactly what I want, but I can't find anything for less than like $250-$300 which is just ridiculous.

If I was wanting to put on 30"s, what would you recommend? I've heard I can get em on with stock suspension, but I would like to raise my XJ up a little bit. 2" sounds good, but I don't have a ton of money drop on this, or a lot of tools/skill.

Your jeep looks sick btw man!

Thanks! 2 inch and 30s look pretty good on a jeep. I got the push bar of craigslist for 50$

Damn, okay. I can never get good finds on craigslist

Hoping I can get my cherokee looking a bit more like yours one day. I love the 3" and 31s look, as a good middle point for a budget, but it's still just out of reach for me haha
