Nice XJ either way man, on good job buying it already lifted. I just paid close to $1,500 when all is said and done between lift, tires, wheels, and alignment haha.

yeah kinda thats a commercial building zone thing. but past it on the left side right before the rails for a small bridge theres a trail in the woods. i think someone chained it. but its a great spot. heres some pics of me there with my old jeep

yeah actually i did some rust repair in the floor. the guy i bought it form bedlined and installed new floors, but he left the rear drivers side floor. so it has a small rust hole covered by black duct tape. so pulled it off and saw the rust. got an angle grinder out cut it all away. then cleaned the unibody rail good and sprayed some rustoleum rust converter on it. then put down some rtv silicone and a sheet of 16ga steel. used sheet metal screw to hold it down. it its incredibly strong now! still havnt screwed down one side of the frame rail to the sheet metal, but i most likely wont because its really not necessary. goingto bedline over it on the weekend so i dont have to drive with the smell to school. and put the doors back on! i wouldve welded it in but with the thin metal left i was screwing to and it being covered in bedliner, it wouldnt be worth the effort. turned out great though. once its bedlined you wont even notice it. i took some pics of every step but some how they are missing so i have the before and after pics.
