Yea we have more TJ than any other but there are still a few XJ around. 1 is still broken from the last moab trip. and i am still waiting on my front axle to be ready for install. So i had to wheel the wrongler and tried to flip it. The wife was not impressed with the whole thing as she was inside when i did it. But the good thing is it came back down and i am still alive to talk about it.

The pic does not do it justice we are coming up the side of the mountain it is already a steep climb and then the wash out i was in put it straight up.

just be prepared for the worst. keep a jug of coolant handy, tools, jumper cables, duct tape, zip ties, first aid, and definately a cb radio in case you get stranded. make sure everythings running properly and you should be rolling.

Its got a full tool kit, oil, oil filter, tranny fluid, and coolant. From what I can tell everything is smooth running. I will be deployed and the brother in law should be flying into denver to help her with the drive home.

I'm not sure on the total lift. But it's definitely more than 4.5 haha. I'll measure it tonight.
