Hey Everyone! Thought I would take a second to introduce myself!
First time on here, not to forums though! Looking forward to becoming a contributing member and getting lots of advice/info
Have had the XJ for a year now, but was the wife's vehicle, I had my 05 f150(6" lift, 35's). But since we have had our first kid, I decided that 12mpg's, and the 5'2" wife trying to get the baby into the truck was tooo much of a hasle, so I traded that in for a new focus for her and i took over the XJ!!
Its a '00 4 door sport, black and completely stock. Which I HATE. By winter, i have to have new tires, so I might as well lift it too, right?! :dunce:
Plans are a 3" - 4" lift to accommodate 31-32" tires without any rubbing problems. Dont want to go any higher than that, dont really think I need to, these rigs seem to be pretty capable stock.
Next BIG mod will be paint. The black paint is flaking, and its got some surface rust on the top, SOO bed line the rocker panels, and paint her flat green of some sort is the plan. Then Bumpers, etc. Although the wife doesnt know all of this
I would LOVE to take the doors off, not sure if its worth it though as I have the heavy full power doors, and I dont know if they can be made to be takin off/put back on quickly.
well, sorry for the long winded post, im all hyped up on coffee this morning lol.
