New 99 XJ owner

Hi all,
I've recently picked up a nice 99 XJ Classic with 40K miles. A nice clean example in and out. This is my third XJ after a 94 and a 98. With this one, I intend to keep it as DD friendly as possible. My 98 had a 4" lift and 31's which I found to be a bit excessive since I never use off road and only to navigate the Canadian winters. With this one, I plan to keep it close to stock look with just a slightly elevated look based on new suspension. The rear was sagging as do most. I installed a new set of leaf springs which brought things up nice and level and gave a nice appearance and slightly higher than stock look. I added 235 75R 15 Goodyear Wrangler Duratracs and a Thrush glasspack to get the desired results. Let me know what you think.

Nice jeep man. Welcome. I got a stock 99 with 23,000 on it for 4500$ a few years ago.. just curious what you paid for yours? I might by another low-millage one while they are still out there and just store it in the garage lol.
