Checking in from the KC area
Been lurking for a while and figured I would go ahead and introduce myself.
My name is Chris and I'm from KC MO, have a 97 XJ that I got from a friend as a theft recovery with a bad transmission and completely stock. It's been a little over a year since I bought it and it has come a long way.
This is when I first lifted it on 33in Truxs (hated the tires) and had a lot to improve on from there
Had to have some fun at my old room mate's house. His TJ, my XJ and my wif'e's YJ
Then took it to FlatNasty in central MO in Nov 09 on some 33 Pro Comp (borrowed off my wife's YJ since I had to drive it there and back)
Then it wouldn't go big enough for me so I added some armor and a front locker and some 33in LTB's. Then headed to SMORR with some buddies
It did great with this setup, but, I found a deal on some 36'' IROK's for dirt cheap, so I had to have them. As it sits now
Need to adjust the front axle forward some(will be done this weekend) but I have enough bumpstop and good down travel so I know that they'll work. I kinda like the look of it where the tires look too big but don't hit anywhere. I will update after my next run in Feb. for next upgrades or what broke

No I haven't made it there yet. I have been planning to make a day trip sometime but I hear good things about it.
Thanks for the compliments
