Chris can you make light of this? Looks like you've been doing some OME research for yours.

I read that recently, have to research it a bit. Have any definitive proof that they are Bilsteins?

From my recent RE 3.5" kit install:

Cheap Autozone/Pep boys lights!

Very nice Jamie!
If you made a clone of CShontz', it wouldn't break my heart for its a sweet rig! To maintain the stock bumper look, check out the Detourz unit that I have. If you wanna check it out in person, let me know & we'll meet up somewhere!
Good luck with the build, let me know if you need some help

I had the Detourz unit on the red one pictured above. It was super solid, and strong. I think I may go for something a but more finished looking, like the ARB or JCR.
Still working out some details on things, spoke to the nice folks over at Metalcloak yesterday, I may go that route. Haven't 100% committed yet!

I thought they were something like that. Honestly....how'd they do for ya? Did you ever upgrade to something else or did they work fine for what you run?



AWESOME XJs btw!


Sub'd!

They were ok for what they were, never upgraded them. As we all know the XJ headlights are horrible, these made them bearable on road without spending big bucks on upgraded lights.

It certainly looks like a bit of an error, or at least misleading. I think, officially, they only make one set of replacement coils designated for the XJ - the 930s. However, unofficially, everyone knows that the 934s for the V8 ZJ serve as a heavy-duty alternative.

The data-entry monkey probably didn't know any better.

Why not V8 ZJ coils, 2in spacer, some extra leaves from another XJ pack, some used lift shackles, an adjustable trac-bar, some decent shocks, and $600 (or more) in the bank?

Love the color. silver or the dark blue are on my list when I finally step up to the 97+ XJ.
