Fixed the broken exhaust hanger next to the cross member. Welded for the first time. And put some air back into the tires Mother Nature took out the past month. Ready for some warmer weather!

The girlfriend wants to get an LJ daily driver and an XJ for wheeling, so I've been shopping around. I took a break this morning and started making a list to lift it.
I had decided on a 4.5" RE kit (RE6130) previously. I took a look at the new Metalcloak kit today since I love their products for my YJ. Neither kit is perfect, though. Both have single shear trackbars and straight control arms. For about $400 more than the RE kit ($100 more than MC), I've spent the morning piecing this together:
4.5" Lift
$1780
Coils: Metalcloak #7060
$190
Leafs: RE1462 4.5"
$320
Shackle Slider Boxes: LII + JCR nut strips
$290
Shocks: Bilstein 5100
$360
Trackbar: RE Double Shear - RE1660 + RE1665
$210 : $145+$75
LCAs: IRO Bent LCAs - IR-SHDCA
$130
Swaybar Discos:
$100
Brake lines:
$120
Ubolts:
$60
Of course the cost of an SYE and driveshaft will be added on whether it's a kit or a hodgepodge of parts
