Hey guys - New to the forum. Just picked up this 95 less than a week ago. It's my 3rd XJ but it's been a couple years since I've had one...Sure did miss them! She's pretty stock and tame compared to a lot of you in here. Just a simple BB from the previous owner and 30x9.50s...Plans aren't to go too crazy with a build on this one. I want to essentially make it as reliable as possible, upgrade the weak links in the suspension, upgrade the charging/cooling system etc. Will probably stay with the 30x9.50 tire size and eventually ditch the BB for something a little better.

Took her out this morning around Evan's creek to see how she felt off pavement!

The TJ is my current project.
XJ is my oldest daily.
LJ is my forever jeep.. just want it to look purty.

Hey redjeep, ware the pics at?

Anywho since this thread seems to have revived itself, I should update my Jeep status. 2001 WJ 4.0 3" or so mix-n-match lift on 31x10.50x15s currently has loud knock at the rear of the engine. Other Jeep is a 1995 ZJ 4.0 with a Rusty's 5.5" LA and maxis 35s waiting to be installed (anyone wanna help?) I'll get pics eventually.

I might, actually - haven't really dug into it much yet but won't be surprised if I need a cab eventually. I don't need a title, but my cab's pretty rotten at the bottom, lol.
