Parts on the way:
New exhaust (the condition of this was not so pleasing - header back)
Offroad Bound Triple Electric Fan Kit
RC 3" lift
Master Bushing Kit
Flowkooler Water Pump
Champion Rad.
Ignition Tune-Up (Dist. Cap, Rotor, Wires and Spark Plugs)
New ball joints and tie rod ends
New rotors (slotted/drilled) and pads
Next week:
New Tires (looking at Cooper Discoverer STT 30x9.5 on stock wheels)
Will start fabrication on a roof rack (whatever happens happens)
I'm going for a more mild look. Would 31x10.5 on stock wheels stick out beyond the flares? My last XJ came with aftermarket wheels and they definitely did and I'm not really interested in that look at this time. This is going to be a DD for me and definitely will be doing a little bit of traveling, so I'm trying to stay from extremes as far as the suspension and tire size go.
Any opinions would be appreciated!!

I hate to downplay it, but the feeling fades after a couple weeks. It doesn't go away, but it's manageable. Mine was broken into several weeks ago, and I'm sure some people can attest to the frustration I experienced.

Drove it...
Instead of driving it like a granny Ive been letting it see 3k+ this tank to see if my MPG changes any. So far it seems to be the same, or maybe even better...
