Default Hi new xj owner

This is my XJ. I am new to the jeep thing but not offroading. I had a fully built Zuk but With the kids I wanted more of a backroads and beach cruiser. I have done the whole build the tar out of it and want to keep this one street friendly . So what to you recommend? I was thinking budget boost and 235s and maybe a lunchbox locker in the rear . I think it is a 95 sport with 150K with the ax15 ? what can you tell me? I will pick this up in a few weeks it is a 7 hr drive from me.

Sorry for the big pic

Welcome to the site! She looks a little rough, but nothing a little TLC won't take care of!

Wow 7 hours is a long way to drive, why don't you try and convince the guy to drive to you, thats what I did, and I only had to pay 300 for it.

Either way still a pretty decent deal,

And welcome to the forum

Congrats and welcome. Go to your local walmart and spend $12 on spray paint. With a steady hand she'll be looking brand new.

I will repaint the hood top and nose back to stock. I like a little space between the fenders and tires 235 MTs really fill oiut the wheel well on my friends.

Welcome to the club. I'm currently running 235/75/15's on mine, stock, but with trimmed fenders. I'm gonna try 31/10.50's next go round. (Still have plenty of room with the fenders trimmed). And, like the poster above me, just spraypaint!! Thats how I painted mine, and it gets compliments all the time!

Edit: Darkfoot, spraypaint.
