My XJ gets used occasionally for offroad use but it's mostly my DD and tow vehicle.

I'm thinking about getting some Rustys coils. Can you take a measurement from center of front hub to bottom of front flare for me? Also, are you running a coil spacer?

I'll get those measurements for you as soon as it stops storming outside. I'm not running a coil spacer at the moment, but in a week or so I'll be putting a 3/4 inch coil spacer on it to level out the front end with the rear. The rear is a little over 4 inches right now, and the front is right at 3.

I used the Accel super tune up kit from Quadratec. One tip, make sure to check the gap for all the spark plugs, because every one of mine were off. All the parts with the kit seemed nice, it had brass contacts all around, copper plugs, and the wires are a lot thicker than what was previously on there. I also dig the red color. I made sure to have a picture and diagram of the firing order in front of me so I didn't mess up the wiring. Now the Jeep is running really well. It idles smoothly and has better pick up.

I also attempted to install new tow hook brackets, but the stock brackets are welded to the bumper, so they can't be replaced. This, of course, just gives me an excuse to get an awesome, new bumper with D ring tabs.
