My 2wd XJ
I bought this 97 xj 4.0 2wd about a month ago for a daily driver well i hate the look of a stock jeep so im looking to lift it.
My plans are a 3-4.5 inch lift that im going to try to piece together for cheap.
Possible 4x4 conversion or just a locker.
A stinger bumper because it builds character.
heres a few pics

I don't know from experience, but from what I've read you'd be better off just buying a 4wd. Good luck with everything, and lets see some more pics!

So i was in class the other day and I pulled in the jeep so i could check it out because it was wayyy to cold outside and found that it needed a new steering damper and swaybar bracket bushings so i ran to autozone and fixed that.

haha hey at least you wont need a t-case drop or SYE with your lift lol.....gotta look on the bright side
but if (when) you convert it i'd say pick up a rust bucket/ slightly wrecked clunker that has the drive train parts you need for the swap.....beats making 40 runs to the pick-n-pull to get what you need
