New from KY
Hey everyone, I'm new at CF from Kentucky. I've been a long time visitor (many, many google searches for various problems/mods/whatever involving "XJ" always brought this site up). Anyway, I finally decided to join up.
A little about me: I'm a 20 year old college student who works at UPS part time (they pay for the college, but they don't pay me that much) and this November will mark my third year as a Jeep owner.
I bought my '97 XJ after totaling the '01 Blazer I had, and as often seems to be the case, I got bit. I had talked and talked about lifting for over 2 years when I finally broke down and bought the lift, locker, gears, and tires. Over the course of a weekend, and with the help of a good friend, the look of my Jeep changed drastically. It had that oh-so-common sagging problem and the thing looked like a midget next to even stock XJs. Now it's probably one of the biggest XJs in the area (if not the biggest) and it's definitely the best looking
Anyway, I'll just shut up and post some pics now:
Jeep when it was stock. Those are 17s off a Liberty, I bought them from my neighbor with tires for $100 so I could use my other wheels for the 33s.
Jeep immediately after the lift was installed.
Aaand Jeep flexed in a ditch...I had more to go, but I haven't got around to cutting the fenders yet and the passenger front tire hit the fender.

I hope I can contribute in some useful way here.
