So, I started with this - a bone stock 2001 60th Anniversary Edition XJ - one of just 2778 made in Silverstone Metallic
Added in a 3" lift some bumpers, some armor, and Bridgestone Duelers 31's MTs
As it sits now, at 5.5" with even more armor and 265 Firestone Destination MTs.

Words like CAD drawing storage solutions had better be followed with ..."build thread to follow."

I just picked up this 2001 5MT XJ. It was actually my father's; he bought it new in 2001 and babied it, so it's in super-great shape. Currently, it has 235/75/15 Yokohama Gelandars on some 12-hold MB Wheels, some crappy side steps (that'll be coming off), and I just put my BajaRack Mule and ARB 1250 awning on it. I also just installed a Curt hitch and wired up my ARB fridge. Anyhow, I took it out on its maiden off-pavement adventure (literally, this thing has never left the pavement in 15 years). Did great. Photos were form the Tahyua State Forest in Washington.
Future upgrades include:
3" lift
Bumper
Winch
31x10.50
New wheels
Rear ARB locker
