Default Hello from IL

Hello all! Been around Jeeps for a long time and been an XJ owner since '96. My first was an '88 then 4 XJs later I decided to settle with my '98 that I bought 4 years ago. Nothing out of the ordinary with her. 6ish lift with 33s, geared, locked, ZJ rear discs, bolt on engine mods, capped hood vents and a CB. The only thing that stands out is my snorkel and my rear window sticker that says "Tailgaters like it in the rear". Looking forward to sharing and gathering info.
