heres a couple shots of my current 2000 xj... feels weird driving an automatic jeep. sitting at 4" with open diffs and Rubicon takeoffs. also have swampers for airing down to 12 psi for the real fun.

Here's my 88. I scored a set of nearly new studded 235/75R15's on later Jeep rims for song. I like the looks of them on my Jeep and as an added bonus my death wobble is gone! BRING ON THE SNOW!

I've got a 96xj 2 door flame red 188,xxx
I'm still not sure if I like the 2 doors as much. Whenever I see a beat up 4 door, I say it's nice than mine, but I think it's because I just like the look of the 4 doors better. Help me feel better about having a 2 door. Please tell me why there better and it will make me love my xj that much more.

They are the 17" JK Rubicon wheels. Tires are 255/75 which measure out to about 32". Keep your eyes open on Craigslist, I see them all the time.

That 3.5" RE kit will go perfect for those tires and wheels. I'm at about 4 inches, but I trimmed the fenders so they don't rub in the wheel wells when it's flexing.

Since the wheels were from a JK they are 5x5 so I got the Spidertrax spacer adaptors since they are a hub-centric adaptor. Although since I did the rear disc conversion the hat of the rotors are thicker than the original brake drums so the rear isn't hub centric for me anymore.
