Hey guys! My name is John I'm 19, new to Cherokee forum, but not new to Jeeps!
I've owned 2 Cherokee's and a 97' ZJ. This current 99 XJ was the one that got the lift. Its on a RE6030 also known as the Rubicon Express Super-flex. It was a 3.5" kit but as we all know, they come high. I had some rake toward the front so my spacers are on the way. I got some 31 x 10.50 Yokohama A/T on there and painted the stock rims gloss black, which by some miracle actually hasn't chipped yet. It is my DD but its gonna stretch its legs quite a bit this summer!
I live on long island so the wheeling freedom out here sucks. So I gotta go up north to get some in.
Anyway here's my WIP:



I look forward to meeting you all and making some friends!

well, 98xj John was kind enough to sell me his 2" wheel spacers so I'm definitely going to 32's or 33's and trimming those fenders. I also plan to get a rear sway tire carrier, fog lights and a crash bar. Just for starters, I don't want this thing to be your run-o-the-mill lifted Cherokee.

Welcome! New too. I spent some time in Sayville, The crazy thing is that the some of the best mountain biking I've done was out there on the island. The riding and the delis out there are the only thing I miss though!
