Default New guy from DFW!

Hi everyone name's Javi... From dallas, tx area... Just got my XJ about a month ago and must say I kinda nose dove into this hahaha... Never owned a jeep before but I love it!! I was always into the BMW scene and still kinda am... I own an '07 335 slightly modded and traded my 02 325 (heavily modded) for "mater" my 2000 Cherokee sport...

Ok so about my xj... When I got it, it came with a 3.5" rc lift with the add a lift on the rear and 2 inch shackles. Guy also gave me 2" inch spacers for the front to level it out... Also came with 16" rubi moabs on 265/75r16 street tires...

So got it on a Friday afternoon and that same night I was installing the spacers lol...

Then went offroad it on Sunday and I loved it even more. Mater is a trooper!!

Now... I've got front or-fab bumper coming for it, rear Olympic bumper and tire carrier, and I've installed Olympic rock sliders on it... Also installed jks quicker discos, front diff guard, rear diff cover and trimmed the excess off the 8.25. I've changed the oil with royal purple full synthetic 10w40 and front and rear diff fluid with red line shockproof fluid...

Anyway... So far that's all and I hope soon I can get a winch, rear air/electric locker, and some 235/85r16 tire for my extra set of rubi moabs... :-) and here he is....

Let me know what y'all think... It's in great shape and has 210000 miles :-)

sexy sexy sexy sexy sexy, the BMW and the XJ. i love that body style compared to my XJ, the blacked out side markers are sex, mine are the older ones and get filled with mud ha, first mod i would do on that bimmer, even tho i dont think it 667 aka jet black, would be to sand those chrome trim, and paint them matte black, makes the car flow so much better a drop too!

but back to the jeep, did you get a good deal on the bumpers? i want the exact front you got, and rear , your jeep puts mine to shame, that's also because i'm never happy with what i haveee, it's a disease, like i am but i always want more. i love your xj, and you have great taste my man. i'm jake its good to meet ya

Thank you!!



Sitting glow... Thanks! I bought them from 4wheel parts and it was the cheapest I could find them on the net and locally... the black sides were done by PO but did a ****ty job. So I'm gonna re do them as well as fronts and rear tailights. The bimmer has been on pause since I got the jeep lol but yeah shadowed trim is comin after some much needed coil overs.
