Honestly no, because i had my previous jeep totaled when it was still driveable with only the passenger side fender bashed in. Similar accident actually. i have pics if ya want
WELL, after all this time lookin around at trucks, i decided an XJ was the only rig for me, so i picked myself up another jeep! 
'97 4.0L aw4 d30/c8.25 4x4, and everything actually works. picked it up for 1200 bucks cuz it needed a head gasket. one afternoon workin on it and i had it runnin like a champ. also im putting front & rear aussie lockers in it tomorow

theres my '88 2wheeler in the background

theres my '00 mustang in the background


and there she is her first time on the trail.
SO glad to be back out wheeling again.
right now its sitting on a 2" coilspacer/shackle lift with 30" tires.
i want to put it on 35's x 12.50 or maybe 13.50, can i fit em on a 5.5" lift? id like to do as small a lift as possible to fit em, i dont mind trimming the fenders some. thanks!

and just another quick update, yeah, my '94 was BEYOND totalled.
the adjuster estimated $5,500+ in damage to it. when i went to look at it in the wrecking yard, i couldnt believe the damage to it. the transmission tunnel had collapsed to the point where you couldnt put your feet on the pedals, there was a lot of firewall/dash intrusion on the passenger side, the dashboard was bent into a 'V' shape, all the seats were crooked, none of the doors would open or close.. long story short it will be missed... but not forgotten. i loved that thing. but on to the next project !!!

I know someone running 35x12.50 on 3.5" lift. It can be done just gotta bumpstop and cut fenders accordingly.
