Nice! I haven't seen a front leaf conversion on a xj before, but I imagine there is more of them out there.

Hey man nice cherokee. Front leefs is a pretty sweet set up, I've seen 2 others before and they performed pretty well. But I want to know more about that S13 Sylvia you got hinding in the garage that was peeking its nose out in the last picture below the cherokees rear bumper. Before I got into cherokee's and 4Wheeling, I used to have a S14 Sylvia and man I loved that car but it got me into way to much trouble my driving record got bad so I had to sell it. I just couldn't help it I couldn't seem to keep the rear end straight it always wanted to come swinging out. Lol.

Haha. That's cool. Ya that's the motor swap I did in mine. The RB26 turbo. Tell your friend he's got a sweet ride.
