Just joined NAXJA! I guess my 'fever' is setting in nicely now.

Heres what I have so far. I did put in an order for Front & rear bumpers from RIGID. Now I'm wishing I saved a little more for a few more inches of lift. Maybe in a couple years, I'll re-do it.

Sorry... but, what does the Red signify?

Also HOW DO I GET A NAXJA DECAL... haha

It signifies that you are a paid member and have full access to the site. Everyone with their name in black has now paid and does not have full access. lol You decal will get there eventually.

OK Good deal THANX.

One very simple thing I am glad I did is get that damn blue SPORT sticker off the quarter panel... :)

don't worry about more lift, that thing looks very nice, if you want it bigger just trim your fenders and throw some 33's or 35's on.

Looks good. Wheels and lift made a huge diference. Not to fond of the bug thing on the front but it's not bad.

Looking real good. Glad you put the white lettering inside the wheels. Pass the collection plate and get some AJ's super sliders and a nice rack next.

the bug thing is made in USA, so at least thats good... I do have a roof rack ordered. Not sure if I'm going to leave it on permanently. I have a OEM Canoe rack that I hope to use again in the spring.

I have been looking at Olympic reverse-a-bars... I see AJs 3/16" SuperRails - $225, Great price! Also my other issue is, this money might be better spent / saved twards SYE or... I have a bunch of stuff I want to invest in... its trying to choose which is next that I have the problem with. :D

Just got these tires, and I swear I coulda fit 32s in there.

Thanks for stepping up to RED!

Just found this pic from when we moved into our house in 2001

I feel like I've come a long way in a short time, considering I started upgrading / investing in the XJ in November of 07 Just before I joined NAXJA!

what did you do to get rid of the sport on the side is it just a decal?

I'm not Hammered but it is just a decal. Use a hair dryer/heat gun to soften up the vinyl then use a razor blade to start it peeling, it should pull right off. If not, you can always use one of the 3m eraser wheels.

I used a Heat gun (black & Decker) and it was gummy as all hell. But It came off. I was really happy to get that blue off there. Looked stupid on the red if you ask me. I used some wd 40 and my thumb with a rag on it... took some effort, but once you get the decal off its 50% gone. the sticky stuff is the hard part.
