Default FINALLY!!!

So, a few months ago, back in March or April, I went on an Elbe Hills run with a good friend of mine and few members here on CF.com. Ziggy253, Popcancherokee, and a few others but i don't remember their names (sry). Anyhow, needless to say, i've been hooked ever since. Finally, 6 months later, i got my first XJ. Its an all stock 88 Laredo in awesome condition. Hell, even passed emissions . Lookin for a few parts. Ill check the for sale threads as well but i would like to go 4.5" lift with 2 inch spacers in front and 2 inch shackles in the rear. Ill buy the spacers and shackles new and just picked up a set of Rubi 4.5" front coils off of Craigslist. So i still have alot to buy. Not sure what rearend im running. A friend of mine said it was the nice 11 inch, whatever that means. But anyhow, im stoked and cant wait to get her on the trails. Heres a couple of pics and if anyone has any parts, pretty much lookin for everything, (extended brake lines, control arms,track bars, ect.) or ideas, pls throw them my way. Also i have a nice Kenwood amp and Pioneer 10 inch subs im thinkin on trading for tires or parts or whatever works, just wanna throw that out there. Sry for the ramblin on and on.

193,XXX miles buts runs like shes brand new. New catalytic converter and all emission parts. New radiator, no over-heating probs (although i did hook-up a toggle switch to my fan just to be safe), new rotors & drums, and really the list goes on and on. Found her on Cralgslist for $800 but only paid $700. She does need some front end work but i figure that will come with my lift. Heres a pick of my first flex. Haha, Totally stock!
