Default Jeep newb

FNG from Florida. Have been contemplating getting an XJ for many years now and I finally pulled the trigger last week on an '01 Sport 4x4. Hope to put a 3" lift in it real soon with the help of these boards.

Here it is in current form, I have a 3" procomp lift sitting in the garage that I will likely try to tackle next weekend. Then I just need to find some tires.

Lift installed today, took just under 6 hours including clean up, solo and in my driveway (85 degrees today). It looks WAY better now, waiting to see if I get vibs before I put my Tcase drop in but I am expecting that as tomorrows project.

Welcome to our forum!!

Got a Yamaha?

Jeep looks nice. Sucks that you've got the LP D30. Watch out for head cracking issues...

Yamaha for life, XS650 bobber, FZ6R streetfighter, and a Superjet. The crack prone head is a bummer but if its not one thing its another just gotta keep an eye on it.

Sweet. I've got a 93 FZR600R thats had some nice work done to it.

She'll eventually get a Mitsu 15g externally gated with 8 psi running through her. Can't wait.

As for the head, not a super huge deal, as long as you can do a head swap. And not all will have the issue.

The bobber is a WIP, the tank still needs to be repainted and probably some baby apes.
