Default STAYING STOCK ???

That did not last very long -- were you just pulling our collective legs ???

Nice and clean. Just got my 2000 XJ with 83,000 miles on it.

Had a broken rear hatch lock and the crappy oil cap that breaks at every
oil change; but everything else seems ok ? Still playing with the door jam
check bracket/pin issue .....

Tell us how you like your lift when you have about 2,000 miles on it.

Looking into 2-3 " lifts for mine in the next 3-4 months .

thanks, Randy from Oceanside

I always say it's gonna stay stock, it never happens. This is my 6th XJ, lift has almost 6k on it still no problems.

Thanks Nate! I love the bumper, the welds look awesome! I should have the front on by Friday, I'll send you some more pics when I get it mounted up.

That bumper is going to look bada$$. Can't believe the XJ was so clean, especially being from the Northeast.

Thanks, I got lucky. It was a daily driver that was garaged every day. Guy in his 50's traded it in for a Golf R.

I do little things myself I got a small bead blaster and a big lamp.. I've done wheels and little stuff.. I did a 440 engine block that was the biggest thing I've done myself. I got into it because it can get pricey..so I've saved myself alot of money..But it's not as easy as it may seem so anytime you have someone who is good I suggest sticking with them!
