I was introduced to this forum last week, been a member of another forum since 05, I recognize a few rigs from there.
Running a 97, 5spd, with SYE, and Rough Country (RC) 4.5" Rock series lift, full springs, adjustable UCA/LCA, discos, RC Sliders, RC Diff covers with 31 Maxxis Bighorns (I like these tires), Olympic Top Hat (saved my body 4 times on trees) and lower body armor. D30 Front and D35 rear, both awaiting 4:11 gearing, just being lazy about it. Front ORF bumper, and homemade rear bumper to match.
Running trimmed color matched 94 stock flares.
Just for kicks and being bored I made tail light guards and dual ladders for the rear.
This is my DD and trial rig, yes it does get dirty, and yes it does have trial rash (BuckB91XJ)
Here is a pic and more on my profile page.
And yes I was bored and got tired of the typical black wheels...
And yes, I was going for the Cuda striped look.
And the driveway markings, coutesy of my neighbors Yota...

Nice looking cherokee. Looks pretty sharp. Just a thought though on the regearing of the D35. Would probably be a little better in the long run to go and pick you up a 8.25 29 spline axle. You can get them for less than 200 these days easily and then regear it instead. Will last you a lot longer and will have better resale value than a regeared D35 if you ever wanted to change out. Well worth the little extra cash and time when you consider all the work and money that goes in to a regear just to have it wasted on another busted D35.

Resale value? 
Never, No worries, this D35 will do fine for what I use it for, and less skinny pedal always helps. The 8.25 is on my radar to pick one up when I run across one.

COSXJFAN: Where abouts in the Springs are you? I lived there from 04-07, upnorth, right off Vickers and Acedemy. Close to Cottonwood park area. Picked up my current XJ there as well, and I have a pick in my profile showing how it looked while there.
