Well I am in the early process of building up my 1999 XJ SE 2dr.
This Jeep is my daily driver and one that I am going to wheel as well. This will be my long distance 4x4 and one that I plan on doing some road trips with.
My budget it under $4,000 total and I want to build something that looks good but will work great on the trails as well.
My current drivetrain includes the following:
4L I6 with 230K on it
Auto
Dana 30/35 with 3:55 gears and ABS
2dr white.
Its all factory for now, but this is what I planned so far on paper, I did a lot of research on this and came up with the following:
Full Traction 3.5" Lift Kit
Rubicon Express 3.5" SuperRide rear leaf springs
Old Man Emu Shocks on all 4 corners
Safari Snorkel (I have yet to keep my feet dry when going 4x4ing)
5X 15" steel wheels with 31" BFG Mud Terrains (or a mud terrain tire of a different manufacture)
The Jeep came with the factory skid plate package and tow hooks, I plan on a future upgrade with bumpers and tow points at a later date.
So far this is what I plan on running, any other suggestions or opinions?
I would appreciate any feedback you guys can give me!
