Havin some trouble deciding what to do to my xj. Do I lift er up? Or do I do some performance mods and get a few more horses runnin? My tax money comes in a week. Can't wait but also can't decide. Someone help me out?

 

well is ur xj completely stock? and whats ur spendin limit?

 

i say lift if yer stock. lockers if yer lifted
but thats just me.

 

Spendin limits $700 got other bills I gotta take care of. And it is stock

 

performance mods are a pretty big waste of money imo. your jeep will never never be fast, nor was it meant to be. (imo)

May aswell build it more capable offroad, I think you will be happier with the results

 

keep in mind you will lose gas mileage if you lift it.
I would do upgrade injectors
do a header .high flow-cat and a catback exhaust.... with new o2 sensors
upgrade your head lights so you can see at night...
also a Set of offroad/fog lights wouldn.t hurt also...
get front tow hooks or recovery points, and a tow hitch for a rear recovery point
get a front. t-case and gas tank skid...if your Jeep does have these..
then with the money left over get a small lift... I hope I helped you out....
also fyi Just because perforamce mods might not make your Jeep faster.. but it will improve your gas mileage
What year is your Jeep

 

here is the link to the head lights I have in my xj

I kno jeep aren't meant to be fast. I just want my jeep to be efficient. When I said I wanted to get a few extra horses runnin I didn't mean down the drag strip lol. But Thanx for the opinion

 

This helps big time! Btw my xj is a 96

 

yup those mods will work for a 96 please add that to your profile.... any pictures of your Jeep?

 

Haven't figured out how to do it from my phone yet

 

what ^he said... add 63mm tb... k&n filter... keep an eye open for 4.10 axles on cl and other sites... that way when the time comes to lift it, you're not down to 10mpg.
btw, because of those performance mods, i can give most ricers run for their money with 4.5" lift and 31s.
