Hate to make a thread like this, but sometimes they are fun, and I could use some ideas.
I have been itching to add some new mods to my xj for a while, and have been having a hard time deciding where to invest my money.
Some info on the xj:
1997 Country w/factory skids & hitch, 231/aw4
3" lift - RC coils, OME LD leafs w/relocation brackets & .75" lift shackle.
245/75/16 MTR on Rubicon wheels.
D30 w/truetrac 4:10 & 8.8 w/Aussie locker
Diff skid, LCA skid
Ironman4x4 short arms
Sliders
Frame stiffeners
Custom front recovery points through stock bumper
Lebaron hood vents
JKS discos
RE braided brake lines
Optima yellow
I like to wheel different terrains, some rock crawling, scenic stuff, and would like to do more long distance expedition stuff. Never wheel alone, and frequently take the wife and kids. Jeep rides good and flexes good for short arms.
I'm considering:
High clearance winch bumper w/9k winch synthetic line
Teralow 4:1
Cage (prob internal only?)
Combo of smaller mods: steering, belly pan, extra battery, alloys, CAI/bored TB, interior mods?...
Would like to buy something that gets most use/value. I know a winch pays for itself when you use it, but it may get used once/twice a year? The cage; I hope I NEVER use it, but totally worth it.
Any other suggestions?
