New guy from So Cal

Picked up my first XJ (96' country) in November of last year. PO had done some great things, 4.5 RC lift, fender flares, 8.8 conversion and a front eaton electric locker all on some 33" bfg muds. I've been lurking around on here and have found a lot of great information. Looking forward to building the jeep further and wheelin!

So after a lot of lurking and wheeling I've done a few upgrades to the jeep and love the way its coming along. A huge thanks to this site for the great info and knowledge from my fellow jeepers.

I upgraded the steering to B. Lees crossover set up. Track bar is a Ironman Fab piece. Then I installed some HD relocation brackets with RE 5" shackles. Then to get the front level with the rear I swapped out the 4.5" coils for some 5.5" RE coils and some RE drop brackets. I currently have a teraflex sye and drive shaft coming from Adams drive shaft and new tc linkage from boostwerks. Cant wait to get it back out on the trail!
