Smile Finally... Finally own an XJ Woooooo...!

Hey everybody, new to the forum; but I've read a lot on here over the past couple of months. I'm very grateful for the knowledge passed around, it has helped me a whole bunch! Thank you everyone.

I finally got me an XJ, damn I've been wanting one since the early 90's.. Took long enough! haha. I've had it for about two months now, super fun to drive!

I look forward to engaging with you all on the forums.

Hey LACK.. I just looked at your pics you have up.. It looks like you put on frame stiffeners, replaced the rocker panels with a chunk of steel, and welded in the support to the uniframe rails.. Is that correct?

Super nice man, that is something I want to do as well... How do you like that set up??

Yeah thats what I've done so far along with a few other mods. It's made a huge difference in how my XJ drives and feels. Everything is a lot quieter and feels more solid.

Have a cav fab 3 link, and other suspension components on the way. Going to be running 35's at around 5.5 inches of lift. Check out my build thread if you want to see some of the stuff I've done.
