Welcome to the awesome xjtalk forum!

Thanks! Here are some pics of my jeep. I'm kind of new to them, this is the first one I've ever owned.

Here's what it looked like when I got it:

It was pretty rough, the interior was trashed and all the wiring was rigged. I found a local XJ that had been rolled & raided most of the interior from it. I Herculined the rear cargo area, and fixed all the wiring.

Here's my custom headliner I did...LOL.

Then I installed a Rough Country long arm kit, I just bought the upgrade because I already had a set of Rubicon Express 5.5" coils & leaf packs. I had the lift & tires before I had a Jeep, I knew I wanted one & the deals on the lift parts were so good I couldn't pass them up. I'm running Goodyear Duratracs in 33x12.50 on 15x8 Bassett wheels.

Here's what it looks like now:

It still has the stock gearing, so it's a real turd right now. I have an Exploder 8.8, I'm not going to regear until I put it in. Future plans are to trim the fenders (the tires rub) get (or try to build) bumpers, and install the winch I already have. Eventually I'd like to do some sort of diesel swap. I plan on sticking around & learning all that I can.

Nice rig and well set up , I can understand the need for speed though, trying to outrun that headliner :0
Sorry I had to , You dont know this but at one time my jeep was Zebra striped.Daktari looking for all you old timers . Welcome to XJ TALK From NOR CAL !!!

[4x4Dalton]

Great lookin XJ. Welcome to xjtalk from Va.:thumbsup:

[bigjim350]

Welcome to the site. Great pics. What gear do you have In the 8.8? I have the 8.8 3.73 LSD disc rear in my exploder looking to trade for higher geared rear like 3.55 or 3.08.

[oderdene]

very nice setup and zebra headliner is quite different. Thanks for sharing

[bluedragon436]

:welcome: to xjtalk from Delaware/Maryland!! Nice setup you have there.... I actually haven't noticed that much of a huge difference from my stock tires to my 33's... but then again I guess it never really was the best at getting out of it's own way... the diesel swap is a thing I know a couple of our members have thought on.... and I would love to do as well one day...

[modestmar00xj]

yeah! nice jeep man! welcome to xjtalk!
