I like the Wrangler and with no top and doors it can be more fun than a XJ. I would have preferred a CJ over the XJ myself, but couldnt afford one.

No reason to be sorry. You still own a "jeep" . Wranglers are fun to drive and the topless experience is sweet. I sold my tj for this xj and gonna give the xj to gf and buy a jk. I'll have the best of both worlds.

Do I see a 3" body lift? Pop that off and do a coil conversion lift

I wouldnt say worthless, back in the day they seemed to work just fine. Heck one of the original "rock buggies" had all leaves.





I almost prefer leaves for the simplicity of the suspension design.

I am not going to argue that coils/coil overs aren't better, but I don't think a leaf sprung vehicle is worthless.

Good looking rig either way.

1. Use punctuation.
2. You don't know what you are talking about.

Apparently not, but it sure makes things a hell of a lot easier to read and comprehend!

After i under coat the frame i'm takin the body lift off it has a R/C 4 inch lift. So thats all it needs to clear the 33s. Other than that it's a nice jeep. Lookin into the discos for some flex pics

Nice rig and looks like a nice xj for $1900.

I had a 91 yj with a 3" lift and drove it everyday without the front swaybar and rear trackbar and didn't have any issues.

I now daily drive a 98 xj lifted 5" without front and rear swaybars.
