Default New AZ XJ Owner - Search and Rescue Build

My first Jeep. 1996 XJ 235k Arizona car (NO RUST! ) runs very strong no sludge under the valve covers. Bought it off a friend of my daughters who is moving out of state and wanted to get rid of it fast, she had cooling problems. I volunteer as a Search and Rescue Tech and EMT certified in Arizona. So this will be my SAR wagon. I will be doing most the work myself, I've worked and road raced Camaros and Corvettes in the past 20+ years.

Going to replace all cooling components and hoses this weekend, except the radiator which is new , riping out the interior (owner was a smoker) and going over the replaceable parts in the suspension.

Plans-

3.5 - 4 inch lift probably an OME hybrid
33 12.5x 15 Goodyear duaratracs
15x8 procomp Steels
Vinyl flooring
Cordura Front Bucket seats
Remove rear bench to fit and secure a Litter basket
Bumpers, racks, lights etc....
