hey all, SO I have a guy somewhat local to me that builds XJ's and everything XJ(bumpers, suspension, etc) and is willing to trade my RECCE build AR for some work on the XJ.
Here is my dilemma. I dont rock crawl, and dont forsee myself starting any time really soon, But i need to decide on short arms or long arms. If i go Short arms, i can get a front bumper built as well, If i go LA, not so much as the LA upgrade is 700+. the lift will be a 4.5" lift, with doestch 8000 shocks. He uses Bastard packs for the rear, not exactly sure what that means?
The guy does awesome work, and I have heard nothing bad about his Fab skills, actually the complete opposite actually.
Im wanting this build to be a expedition style rig, something that can get me into the back woods, and out, and drive me to and from work every day as well.
So. Pay the extra $$ for LA's, and wait on bumpers, or do SA and get bumper(s)?
