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

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.
