Hey all
I've been poking around here for a few days now. It looks like there is alot of cool XJ owners around here.
I bought my 2000 XJ in late January of '08. I put a Rusty's 3" lift and 31" tires on it before the end of February. Shortly after that, I sold my motorcycle and bought an Or-Fab front bumper and Mile Marker PE8000 winch. I love offroading my XJ every chance I get and am pretty happy with how it performs. I just recieved an Aussie locker for the front today, which I hope to have installed in the next week or so. I'm planning another trip to Rausch Creek offroad park in September, and would like to have a rear locker by then as well.
My Jeep is a daily driver and kid hauler, so that's probobly about as modded as it's going o get for the time being. next year I'd like to get a SYE, revolver shackels , and some rock sliders.( I finally dented my rocker panel last weekend)
Here's a few pics of how my Jeep has progressed thus far. The fender flares should be gone soon to make room for wider BS wheels. Not bad for a guy on a tight budget with a 2 year old, a 5 month old, and a wife that works alot of evenings and weekends which prevents me from wrenching as much as I should....

Anybody that is interested in meeting up to wheel at Rausch Creek in September should send me a PM. A couple of guys are running bone stock, so rigs of all capabilities are welcome. I should have a firm date in the next couple of weeks.

Thanks! The bumper is an Or-Fab that I ordered from Quadratec. I had thought I payed too much for it until I killed a deer with absolutely NO damage to my Jeep. Now I figure it payed for itself.
