So as the title says I am new to jeeps. I picked up a 92 XJ with an OLD SCHOOL long arm 5" kit. I was told that it had lockers front and rear and was a CRAZY wheeling machine. WELL... not true. I have been off roading for a long time but I am a Toyota guy. I have built a lot of Toyotas. (if interested I can put up some pics of my old rigs) Anyways I NEVER thought I would own a jeep. But I traded my built bobbed suburban for this 92 xj. Anyway a few things I am in the process of doing my rock sliders, sub frame connectors, and boat sides. I am a machinist by trade so I have been building my parts. I have spoken with a few jeep guys and I think I am going to redesign the long arm kit to make it work right. right now it has zero flex. this weekend I am going to disconnect the front sway bar to see if that helps. I am also going to trim my wheel wells to allow the 33s without rubbing. I also need to go through the front end it makes some awful noise. I want to upgrade the steering but I have not done enough research to know what I am doing yet. anyways enough for now. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE comment

Nice XJ bro! Provided you can get the suspension flexing right, I really like how that sits on a 5" lift.

What plans do you have in the future for it?

Hi and welcome, looks good man.

So you are the one that stole the wheels off my sisters pushchair (1st pic)

When I traded my burban it was without my wheels and tires. (I had BRAND NEW 37" pit bull rockers on bead locks) so I told him I would give him rollers if he would give me rollers. The tires and wheels I picked up for free. They are kinda rock rashed and the tires are old school mud hogs (no good in the snow). The plan is to pick up a set of 33-12.50-15 BFG KM2's. The long arm kit that is on it is an old school style long arm that retains the stock upper link. I am going to use the rustys offroad long arm design using upper arms that run to the long arm lowers. I am not sure about the springs yet. The front uses stock springs (I think) with a puck spacer. The rear are stock also (I think) with a block. I will have to see how it performs with the sway bar disconnected. I have no long term plans as of now. I was just tired of not being able to get to the trail. I am in the process of building a buggy out of an 85 runner. If anyone is interested I can give the specks of that.
