Default finally got a jeep

ive been lerking around on here for a bit and i finally bought a xj this past saturday.

its a 98 with 4.5" lift and 33x12.5 has rocksliders and front and rear bumpers. it needs some work. the driverside floor board needs to be patched a little and im goin to redo headliner, needs a front driveshaft u joint. but it came with new lower control arms and control arm drops upgraded tie rod too

ill prolly replace a lot of brake parts and tune it up change fluids hopefully have it all done by spring. may try to take wheeling a couple times this winter too. i want to change the front lift to full coil springs right now it has 3" lift springs and puck on top id like to change it to 5.5 lift coils and then do shackle relocation in back.
