Hello from Iraq.
Howdy. Ive been drooling over the build-ups for months now. I figured it was time to make it official. Like a lot of the members im a Soldier. The good part seems to be, im a 
without a car when I get home. So, ive got a few months to take my time and find a nice XJ on the net for when I get home (im in Michigan so if you have a line on one for 3-5k please let me know). I ordered Rustys 4.5 XJ suspension kit with the FC 2's because I didnt read anything terrible about it here and I HATE to wait for things to be shipped. Ive enjoyed reading and learning about some of the technical how-to's yall have posted. Keep it up! Ironhawk 03A out!

BTW. I went with the FC 2's because they are a little more quiet than the General Grabber 33's on my wifes daily driver TJ. Shes going to have them swapped when the kit arrives. Plus, I havent saw any XJ's on Grabbers and she swears they are like magnets in the the snow.

I did the same thing.. just posted the story in the "jeep builds section"... bought a jeep and parts while overseas.. it was kinda nice because instead of gradually buying everything i needed (and broke) i just had it all there at once... good luck with yours!
