Pace yourself, dude. You have to keep the little woman happy, too. Understand this, once you start modifying your XJ, you will never be "Done" with it. I've had mine lifted for 6 years, now, and I'm still finding improvements to make to it. So, don't get in a hurry.

XJ Wheeler hit the nail on the head. Somewhere in between lift/tires and gears/lockers, take her clothes shopping or buy something for the house she has always wanted.

welcome to the disease called cherokee. Had mine for 4 years now and still building just like some of the other guys have said. Be good to the lady and pace yourself... easier to manage everything that way.

Pace yourself, projects get boring once they're done.
