Hi! New to these parts...
I picked up a new to me '95 XJ a couple weeks ago. There's been quite a bit done to it already, but I'm systematically going through it to bring it up to par. I don't have any info on exactly what was done, but I have some limited info. Maybe you guys can help identify some things...
I'm told that it has a 6.5" Rusty's lift, and new "crate rebuilt" hopped up 4.0HO.

It looks like its super clean. I would be curious to know what axles and such it has under it. What kind of wheeling do you like to do? Oh and Welcome to CherokeeForum!

As far as i can tell, the axles and gears are original. I just rebuilt all of the steering last weekend and have ball joints in the works. I need to get it to an alignment shop to figure out just which offset ball joint degree i need since its got really negative camber right now.
Ive yet to take it out wheeling, primarily because there isnt a SYE installed and im 6.5" lifted, so id be asking for trouble. Once the steering/ball joint issue is sorted, an SYE is next, but it all takes $$.

Thanks for the kind words fellas.
The mudflaps are not by choice, but legality. They slip off easy enough though.
They're 36 12.50's...actually might be a tad too big for anything beyond a pavement queen. I'm afraid that any serious wheeling and they'd be buried up into my already cut out wheel wells. I may be looking to downsize at some point.
The wheels are an Ultra Motorsport 178 Mongoose found here: http://www.ultrawheel.com/ultra-whee...=6179&cat=1140

It sounds like you already did your research. SYE is certainly a must. As is $$ unfortunately.

And yea since getting out of the Army (stationed in LA.. no real mudflap laws) I have been pulled over 3 times in Missoula for my lack of mudflaps. 21 inches of tire max. So far I have yet to get a ticket for it but once I do Ill rig some up. They just look so awkward on an XJ.
