Hello! I just bought my first Jeep and I'm looking forward to gaining a lot more knowledge from this site.

I recently purchased a 'new' 01 XJ with a 3" Rough Country lift and I freakin' love it. Yes, it has 227k miles on the original motor. I took a chance on it due to the fact that it has a brand new suspension and there is VERY little to no rust. Being that I'm in MN and most XJ's were just a shell of rusted heaps, I jumped on this vehicle immediately after I got it inspected.

The previous owner was an older guy, and if anything needed replacing, he did it. I'm keeping my fingers crossed with that kind of mileage though. I know I took a chance on the motor/head with 00-01's, but I just couldn't pass her up.

As I said before, I hope to gain a lot more information about my XJ and learn how to wrench at the same time.

 

Welcome.

Nice looking rig. Are those 30's or 31's on there?

 

Welcome to the forum

 

235/75/15 - Too lazy to do the math right now.

And thank you!

 

Stock tires......they looked bigger in your album.

 

28.88 - Ha, google makes being lazy easy.

I thought stock ran 215 or 225? Still very new to all of this. They came with the vehicle and ride really nice. I doubt I'll change them up.

 

You're probably right.....but some 31's would look just right with your 3"
lift when almost 29" ones wear out.

 

Good call, I might look into that then when it's time. There is still a lot of tread on these tires. Thanks!

You have a nice looking rig as well.
