Default New to the XJ, And Jeeps

Just bought her this weekend. She'll pretty much be a DD.

6.5" IRO LA Lift
Quick release sway bar
33x12.5 GY Wrangler tires
Lock right lockers front and rear
And much much more, including a brand new engine and transmission

Thanks guys. I'm not going to do too much to her, I've got some fender flares on order and that's about it. Everything that I would have done has essentially already been done. She was built right for sure.

Love the XJ, I like the Rubi-sticker I'd keep it?

Welcome to the forum from Colorado.
Thanks JandDGreens, you really think I should? I couldn't decide if it was cheesy or not as it generally relates to Wranglers.

I almost forgot to mention she has a D30 axle in the front and D44 in the rear

Fender flares are going on as we speak!

Looking good, however looks like you could go bigger tyres (tires) terminology from across the pond varies Lol.

I really think it doesn't matter, I would love to make my rig to equal to or better than a stock Rubicon. It's a Jeep thing right. My XJ had a Dana 35 until my sons XJ went belly up so I took his axles a slipped them under my rig (5 spd.) Gain better gearing and a stronger rear in the 8.25. I want so much to go the whole rubi-clone route. With selectable lockers, 4:1 transfer case and better gearing. Maybe some day when the extra $$$$$ is available right!
Hope to see some trail pics of your adventures with yours.
