Warmed up many slices of Pizza on a motor, finding the 6 year old can of beef soup in there sort of made me wonder about my mind.

My contribution, 1995 XJ Country

Wow! Just noticed that this is my second post since being on the forum since January 2011.

Below is my XJ. My wife and I bought it new in 1995 to use a our daily driver/off-road fun vehicle. Other than routine maintenance it has served us well for close to 300K miles as a daily driver, desert exploration vehicle, jack-rabbit hunting vehicle for my son and I, tow vehicle, parts runner, weekend camper, etc. etc. Unfortunately, I cannot blame a previous owner for any problems I've encountered with it.

Specs:
4.0L
Auto
NP231
D30 front with 4:10 and Detroit EZ-locker
8.8 rear with 4:10 and stock LSD
Rubicon express sway bar disconnects
Detours USA Tailbone tire carrier
31" Goodyear Wrangler Authority tires
Stock Turbine wheels from an 80 something XJ painted gray
Amazon 20" LED light bar (not shown in picture)

Wishlist:
DPG off-road OME Hybrid kit
Cargo area shelf
SYE and new driveshaft

Thanks for reading!

I have a zone 3" lift full leaf packs and just wondering what you guys would recommend on doing to raise the rear to make it level. It's 1" 3/4 lower in the back. Blocks, shackles or different leafs?

I'd give adjustable shackles a try if you have the money or just shackles in general. If you want to go a cheaper route, you could try to add a leaf.

Leaving for Colorado tonight!

Just finished getting my JCR DIY Winch Bumper on this Monday.

Here's my half finished XJ sitting in front of my half finished expedition trailer. That's my day to day TJ in front of both. At least it's finished!

On our way to the NWOR in Plain WA last Thursday...just got back last night!



What an awesome trip. Jeep was great, strong and reliable as ever even in the oppressive heat and LONG mountain climbs into the Cascades.
