Nice lookin' XJ, yea, I'd say all that will make her happy, but soon enough she'll want more and you'll be happy to give it to her......

That XJ looks like a nice DD But would be better with a lift when you get it.
What lift you getting?

The injectors are the 784's. Sorry, I shouldn't say 'new' injectors, but cleaned and new to me.

The exhaust is the Dynomax Super Turbo cat-back.

I've had the injectors in for a week today, and overall I like them. I didn't really notice any increase in power. My XJ is very well maintained, anyway, so I wasn't expecting much more throttle. Very smooth idle and starts very easy.

The exhaust made a very noticeable gain in HP. Sounds good, too. Very happy with it and definitely recommended since you can pick them up for 150$ or cheaper.

For the lift, I'm looking at the 3.5" RE paired with a set of 31" Firestone Destination MT's. I'll have the money by February for the whole set-up.

Then bumpers after that, but let's not get ahead of ourselves...

I was thinking of doing some 784s when I get the XJ up and driving again too.
I hear good things about the dyno-max seems like the best option for the price!
And I can say you will be very happy with the RE 3.5". I had it on my old XJ but couldn't wait to afford full leafs so just did AALs, then needed to do a set of 1" lift shackles after the hitch, and roof rack with roof mounted spare, which brought the back end up just a bit higher then the front. It actually nets you a good 4+" and rides and performs good, and I ran 265/75r16s (technically 32s) with just a minor rub at full lock on the LCA with the stock 16" rims.
