Default My first XJ! Love it! Big plans!

Hey guys my name is Corey and I'm new to the forum. This is my first XJ(or anything besides a car). I absolutely love it and wanna make it as cool as possible. I'm new to the offroading thing and could use as much guidance as I can get. Here she is!! just a lift and shoes so far!

looks good. i keep a full toolbox and some misc small parts that go out periodically while wheeling, alternator, brake lines etc.

wheeling is about the driver. learn to drive that rig and itll go anywhere. start searching around on here and youll be doing mods for the rest of the jeeps life.

and XJ is never completed lol

welcome and have fun!!!
