Default My 95 xj

I got my xj for a really really really cheap price from a buddy of mine 180k 5 speed 31's with 50% tread more then a grand in new parts (water pump, radiator, exhaust from the cat back, all the break lines, and a brand new floor just need to finish in the trunk above the spring) a week later his sister crashes it I buy it for dirt cheap (less then the price of one 33 inch tire) and I replaced the bumper corner light and head light and it was good to go nothing broke! Now I just got my 6.5 inch rough country lift and not sure whether I'm going 33s or 35s yet. Hope you all like!

Thanks! My dads friend offered to sell me
4 black rims with 33 inch Mickey Thompsons for a price I will never beat so I'm most likely going with those since he upgraded to 35's

It's done sort of. Driving now found a couple thinks that must be done my Tom woods drive shaft was too long will I have to buy an sye? I know it'll reduce vibration so regardless I'm buying one, but I'm hoping once that's installed the drive shaft will fit! The truck runs good my rear Mickey Thompson Baja claws (33's) have some warps so the rides a little bumpy. Next is fender flares and I'm going to undercoat the entire truck and Herculine the floor. Then I'm planning to put on a magma flow exhaust. The jeep still needs some adjusting not even close to being
Done. All responds are appreciated!

Thanks it was a **** load of work a lot of bolts had to be cut and I even had to cut the pit man arm off. I totally do not regret going 6.5 it's amazing and worth every cent. Would you know anything about drive shafts?

I know an sye gives you a couple inches, depending on which one you get. How much excess does it have?

Brush guard looks good.
