Hey guys, Im new to the site here, glad to finally find a kickass site with people in Kansas and so close to me....not that Kansas is anything to brag about. Im in Hutch and have a 96 xj sport all stock, and hoping to find people who can tell me and offer info on how to do a bit of modding to it. I see you guys with over 150k miles...damn! thats alot, but not for a Jeep. You might be shocked to read that mine only has....68000 original miles on the 4.0 iL6. factory tow pack. I dont plan to get to extreme...yet..but would like to get info on a lift kit,tires and all that. I have had the Jeep since 2000 and decided that I would like to mod it a bit for some mild fun. Lift it 2-3 inches,maybe up to a 31" tire, but Im a total newb to 4x4 and know nothing about coils,shocks,rockers,axel,bushings and all that stuff. I have no clue where to start. My project will go piece by piece, when I can afford to get parts, then I will have to find a shop in the Wichita area I can trust to help do the lift and all. What do you guys think the very first thing to buy would be?
sorry so long winded, but glad to see fellow ks people, and love the site here!
