Default New from Southern Utah

I am new to this forum but not to XJs. I have had 2 that I have beat to death and am in the process of building a Third out of my second one. I live in La Verkin Utah which has to be one of the best areas for wheeling in the country In my opinion. I will Start a build thread on my 3rd rig soon. Just thought I would chime in here and see whats up.

My current rig is a white 1994 with
7.5 hybrid long arm lift.
35 BFG Crawlwers staun double beadlock on MT wheels.
44 front and rear with lockers and 4.88s
Front trail ready bumper with warn 9.5 winch
Custom home made rear bumper
Front custom built tube fenders and rear corner guards from THOR.
Rock sliders and more.

I am upgrading a few things in my 3rd build.

I saw a Cherokee in my Neighborhood that had a Cherokee Forum sticker on it is what brought me here.

Ah make sense. The 44 is a low pinion though.

I found a tera knuckle used when I built the axle but am thinking about doing the WJ swap when I move my Axles over to the new XJ I am building.
