Default XJ Beginner

Hi, names wyatt, located in rochester ny. Bought myself a clean white xj from the south. Plan to lift it on some 31's and hit the trails with some guidance. I used to be a car guy into dsms aka mitsubishi eclipses and eagle talons. I know a lot about turbos and small motors. Not too much about 4x4 but am willing to learn.

Welcome to the forum, read up and figure out what kind of lift you want, if you've got any questions post them in the "all lift and tire questions go here thread"

Welcome to the forum. This place is a wealth of information, if you have questions or anything, jsut read a lot. Good luck man, hope to see your build soon.

So, turbo jeep maybe? It might not be cost effective, but man would it be cool.

Welcome to the site. How much rust is on it? A lot of these NY vehicles get killed by rust.
