Alright I have been in the lifted truck diesel world since I started building trucks 10 years ago. This is the xj I traded my 95 accord dd for. It's a 96 xj sport auto 4x4. I dd it every day and I planned to keep it low key until I hit a deer. So I ordered a 4.5 rc lift and picked up some like new 33 inch toyo mts. I'm still looking to find a 97+ header panel and lights.
Also ordered a steel bumper. On to the pics

This is when I got it


Then tinted and put 31s on it


Deer hit


And junkyard parts


And the wheels and tires going on after the lift

 

Lift should be going on tomorrow if I can find time at the shop.
Also looking to build a set of flat flares to cover up some of the wheel sticking out

 

Find me the nearest mall!

 

Sweet wheels, can't wait to see the 10-12 chrome shocks and lift blocks and auto deploy steps.

My only question would be how you're going to route the twin stacks?

 

Lol out the hood of course and no chrome here.
I know I know not everyone's cup of tea but I was tired of seeing every xj with 15 inch d windows or soft 8s
I like being different I don't rock climb or go on serious trails

 

Got the back all leveled out tonight and it rides pretty good for a cheap lift

 

Put my new steel bumper on tonight also have my 50 inch light bar waiting to go on as well

 

Found your thread, I'll be watching lol wheels are just different than the normal but that's okay lol

 

This will be an interesting build. It's fun seeing something different.

 

Had a helper today. Fixing a loose shock, finding a squeak and running wires for the 50inch

 

Looking nice and level man! Can't wait to see it after the paint job.

 

Thanks I'm having a issue with the rear shocks coming loose where it's bolted to the jeep. Anyone have this issue?

 

Front bumper on looking to get painted in next few weeks

 

Almost everyone does I had that problem broke two of the bolts and just knocked the nuts loose from the jeep with a big hammer and punch then fished new bolts in from the top and now it's better than ever

 

Thanks I just welded bolts up there so far so good!
