Been lurking for about a year now learning this and that about an inherited 92 XJ.

I've only just started to begin working on my XJ and I'm really enjoying it. The satisfaction of working all night on a project and it coming together in the end makes me feel great.

A little about my driving style:
I don't really go wheelin too frequently, maybe 1-2 times a moth, this is my daily driver so I dont want it to be needing too much work, even though I do kinda like when something small breaks cause that means its time to go to the junk yard. I usually drive on road about 200 mi a week gettin around and stuff.

This is about the extent of my off roading:

Drive train:
-All stock
-231 TC

Looking into:
-SYE and drive-shaft swap.
-Rock sliders
-Bumper set

Misc:
- Flowmaster muffler with 2" tail pipe. Sounds beefy.
- 2 12" kenwood subs(looking into building my own cubby sub)
- New speakers and stereo deck
- Spare and Hi-Lift mounts
- Ammo can toolbox
- Come-Along
- Cup holders

The things I have done recently have been relatively low-cost, but I am piecing this thing together one thing at a time.

Looking forward to helping others when I can!

Welcome from across the pond.
Looking good, I'm impressed with your roof rack.
