Yes, yes it is.
Didn't replace my motor or trans, but I went to change my tstat about a week after I bought my current XJ. Didn't realize the head was already cracked where the lower bolt goes in. Rung it out when I tightened the lower bolt and snapped a piece off the head. Payed more for a replacement head than I did the XJ and had to wait 2 weeks to get into the shop on a weekend to replace it.

Mine was constantly creaking. Forced a WJ seat install. $130 for a set of leather seats. Power recline and lumbar wired in. Well worth it.

I did 32s and no lift, not worth it if you're wheeling at all. Do yourself a favor and throw a cheap 1.5-2" lift on, you need SOME uptravel, even on the street.

Unless you bumpstop like hell you're still going to rub in the rear with no lift over speed bumps and potholes unless you slow way down over them with tires that big. Been there, done it. It's not an issue of application, it's going to happen.

It wont be wheeled to hard for awhile...The jeep is a work in progress, and with my budget its one thing at a time, or as soon as i sell something i can buy something new...These tires where cheap so i sold mine and got the 33's...For now it'll ride like it is till after christmas when i have some extra money.

Drove it a little around town and the only rubbing i got was when entering an approach at an angle without slowing down...but yes as it sits now its no trail rig.

And that's a compromise for the LCOG build. That's like saying my Camaro sucks cause I have to slow down over speed bumps. It depends what its purpose is.
