I'm done after this post don't worry, the 4.5 rough country kit was installed following the instructions using every component, admittedly with out swaybars there is no competition but rough country did not say take your swaybar off to off road if you want to argue the 4.5 kit its self is designed poorly I can not argue I'm not a engineer, but in comparing a bone stock jeep liberty ( it also has swaybars) to a 96 xj with a 4.5 inch rough country lift kit that was installed following the instructions using every component the liberty will win. Thank you

I was not trying to say the Libby was better off-road that would be a very stupid argument the xj dominates off-road with a little bit of money invested in it I was using the comparison to show the liberty was not given enough credit for what it is. I have an xj and I have a Libby I would never get rid of my xj for any other jeep

Installed junk yard fuse box to replace the one that took a salt water bath yesterday.
Some pics of the weekend project of what you should expect to need if you use your XJ as a submarine. I would say boat butthat would imply it floated.

The cherokee decided to clean its engine compartment and under carage with trans fluid today. Split rubber line fixed in the rain.
