Hey guys, I've been browsing your forum for a couple weeks to answer some questions for myself and decided to sign up and participate a bit. Not an XJ owner, yet.

Buying a 98 Limited off of a friend this Saturday. Already have a 3" rough country full leaf and control arm kit in the mail, adjustable track bar, steering stabilizer and a set of 31 10.5 15 BFG KO2s. Really not planning on doing a whole ton of work to the jeep, just enough to make it fun and reasonable to maintain.

I have on 07 BMW 335i rwd right now with a few mods done to it, as my daily driver. Recently sold my boat, 26' velocity with a 496 BBC and the 08' Sierra Denali I was towing it with.

I'll post some pics and a short build thread once everything shows up. Not that you guys haven't seen 10,000 other cookie cutter setups like this.


Cheers!

 

Where about in chicago are ya? Theres a lot of us here. I'm just a tad south in oak lawn.

Welcome to the forum!

 

Thanks guys! Excited to get this truck together soon.

 

Welcome from England.

 

Awesome. I'm in lemont/woodridge/downers grove areas quite often, which i believe are pretty close

 

So where is the best place to go mudding for you chicago guys?

 

The only place "around" here I know of is The Cliffs in Marseilles. Unless you know someone with private land who is going to let you tear it up

 

picked her up yesterday






this showed up too, tires will be here Tuesday

 

Clean jeep man! looks like a nice good start

 

Are you going to do the work yourself?

 

Yessir. Very few things I won't tackle on my own

 

Yea its easy enough to do, dose not pay to bring it to a garage,
