I have took it out afew times and everything worked as it should. I had my back tires rubbing when it would flex so I knew it needed more of a lift.

next on my list is front and rear lockers, a winch then maybe go to 33s. Its my DD so need to keep it simple.

its a jeep you dont need a winch, lol. it looks good keep us posted.

Oh SNAP!!!
 

Looks like somebody else has a blacked out XJ!!!

Looks good man!!!

thanks guys, I'll keep this updated. Its a good way for me to keep up with everything I do to it.

Also it has a Intake, TB spacer, and a catback as well

My rear end went out, found one at a junk yard for $150 so putting that in this weekend. Going to keep my stock rear end and start bulding it once I have some more money.

Got the rear put in and then I had a bearing go out in the front so ended up putting in a front end as well.

:cool2:

I unhooked the sway bar for the 1st time. I'm still running stock brake lines so I was worried but have tons of room with them still

Nice ride you have there. keep the updates coming.

not really a update but heres some pics from this past weekend https://www.cherokeeforum.com/f13/bo...17-10-a-45206/

the 3" RC and the 2" BB are working great, now I'm going to get a spool for the rear and start saving for a locker on the front

I have not done much to my Jeep, just maintance. I did get a Hi-lift and put it on my roof rails, lasted one ride. Don't know how folks ride with racks on top of there XJ.
