:welcome: to xjtalk, Krusty from Delaware/Maryland!! Awesome mod listing you have there.. Wouldn't mind running a milder version of that engine in my XJ, but I know that same build would never hold up for long on DD...

It's always interesting to see how people enjoy their Jeep in other ways, so you're good! :D

Hey Krusty, nice Jeep. I used to race those types of events, but not an XJ. It was fun for sure.
