Hey all,

I'm a new guy from Missouri. This is my 3rd jeep and 2nd XJ (both countries). I had a ZJ in there as well.

I recently picked up a 96 Country with 274k on it for 1100 bucks. It was pretty rough, but it's coming along.

Here is a picture of it

Suspension is shot, interior is thrashed, speakers are blown, valve cover leaks, etc. But it was cheap, runs really well and trans shifts great. So it was worth the dough.

A lot of parts have been ordered, only a few have been installed.

Ordered a 3.5" RE Super Ride Lift with Bilstein 5100 shocks. RE Track Bar, RR HD Tie Rod, new draglink, pitman arm TRE, 32x11.50 Wrangler MT/R, Cragar V-5 Steel Wheels, all new brakes and crown SS brake lines, new sound system (kenwood headunit, polk speakers, RE sub, alpine amp), Prime custom switch panel, new carpet, RR spice front seat (driver right now, will order passenger later), Optima yellow top, hella e-codes, hella 100w bulbs with harness. That's the short list, there's also exhaust, etc etc.

Truck runs well and drives OK. Has some death wobble, but it's got ancient suspension and steering parts.

Just saying hi, very happy to be here.

Plans beyond what I've done are a JCR front & rear bumper with rock sliders, frame stiffeners, some LED lighting, upper control arms, e-fan conversion, dana 44 rear, lockers & gears, disc brake conversion in rear and some armor.

Still sounds good deal and good looking one, does she wobble at certain speed?

It's between about 55-60. Goes away above and below. Not sure what it is, but all the steering is being replaced from the box down and I've got a new steering stabilizer.

Entire new suspension, except for upper control arms. Then new wheels and tires. So I'm pretty sure it'll go away.
