This is why people consider you an immature, helpless baby. There's good advice in here. There's people that want to help you help yourself. And all you want is spoonfed website links so you don't have to think.
I was reading the advice, taking it in. I don't know a good quality kit from a bad kit. From reading here, the few things I knew to avoid was add a leafs, blocks and other things. I am not helpless, but I don't like diving head first into something I never done before. I do as much as I can on my XJ that I have done before or know I can do (mostly oil changes and brakes, haven't had much beyond that that I had any issues with at home. The issues on the trail was only an alternator and it takes me much longer to do something the first time, so trying to replace that myself in an hour or so span before WF dinner and before darkness is an issue. I paid it forward to Bob for helping me with that now that I am in a much better financial position) and plan to pay it forward at events as much as I can. I even got spare parts for free and paying it forward to another member here (Hey Flex, I will get with you this week about those visors).
And you're going to ignore your own thread unless we give it to you? **** you dude. **** you.
No, I was going to ignore posts like this, the ones that are not helpful at all. Rew, thank you, that is what I was looking for. I don't much about what I would need to lift once, and frankly, the more I think about it, a smaller lift and 31's might be what I do for a while.
You don't rate to make those demands. You barely rate to participate in the threads at all. I seriously took the high road. I explained very eloquently what we all thought you needed to do and you shit on it. You're a lazy, mooching jackass who thinks that your $35 a year gives you all the friends you need and the luxury of being spoonfed everything you want. I got news for you. When you get off your ass and help yourself, other people will want to help you too.
I don't participate in many threads because my knowledge in most areas of those threads don't compare to what others are posting. Why would I post on something I don't know much about, that would be stupid and open grounds for more ridicule. Frankly, I don't post much of anywhere anymore, just do a lot of reading. That isn't just for this forum, but many others. I pay it forward every time I feel I have the ability to. Sometimes that means giving a membership away to help this chapter win a freaking winch to give away at a trail clean up that you might win if you go or purchase $60 worth of tickets at an event and not win on most and the one I win on I let the next person take it.
What I wouldn't give to live 30 minutes from the friends I've made on
.
I honestly think the person who lives closest to me is Byron, he is an hour. Maybe Flex as the crow flies, but roads means I have to drive an hour and half. The only Jeep person near me is a TJ'er I know within 30 minutes is a TJ'er from facebook. I don't know how helpful he would be on working on a XJ.
I am not above working on my XJ, but as I said previously, I don't dive head first into something like this that involves suspension that if not done correctly can lead to driving issues that could cause wrecks if not done right. I would rather work side by side with someone who knows what they are doing or garage it out if that is not an option. I think I have seen two lifted XJ's in town, I don't know who owns either of them. If someone was to help, I don't drink so there would be alcohol, but there would be food. I done work for food for friends and realize that work shouldn't be for free if you can afford to not pay it forward. Luckily, financially things are 200% better then they were even six months ago.
FTR, lockers, sliders, and skids were on my radar and possibly this year pending how much everything else runs, just want lift and tires prices before I get that far and commit.
