Default My first vehicle. 99 XJ.

When I first got my license, at 16, I bought my mom's 99 XJ from her for $4,000, with about 120,000 miles on it. I took it offroading a few times and it was fun, but I wanted more.








So after about a year of owning my Jeep, I decided to start building it up. 4.5 inch lift from Rusty's and 31 inch Duratracs sounded like a good start. So over winter break my dad and I installed it.





The weather is just starting to get nice and rainy, so I hope to get out on the trails soon. I'd love your opinions. Thanks
