1999 red XJ sport
I just picked up my second jeep now! I had a 98 grand Cherokee but let's face it the XJ's are much better! Its got a 3.5 in Rubicon express lift with 31 bfg km2 tires! Let me know if u have any ideas or opinions for me! I need to get the fenders trimmed because when the sway bars are disconnected it rub quite a bit. So hit me with some tips!

looks good. And I have to agree with you, XJ's are alot more of a jeep without the wanna be caddilac stuff weighing it down...
Sorry GC guys...

I'm not a fan of rear coils... leaf springs when setup properly can flex like mad, and tend to keep more pressure on the tires where it's needed for grip.

I agree about XJ's being better! 
There are sooooooooooooooooooo many Grand Cherokee's for sale, and just a few XJ's here. Its hard to find the right one! But nice looking ride man. Looks better all muddied up!

cuz those plastic end caps suck! lol. Actually with the right long arms they'd come up centered... but remove the end caps and you get a little more clearance for a lot less.
