So i bought a 99XJ Sport 2dr. 5spd 4.0L with all the goodies a few weeks ago and i sold the trail rig XJ i had because i can't stand not building this jeep! anyway im trying to decide what to do and need some advise:
here is what i need from the XJ: be able to drive to work every day, approx. 10-15miles and occasonal trips home 100miles and weekend wheelin' trips. as for off road
im a weekend warrior and wheel pretty hard at least one good trip a month to places like tellico, uwharrie, etc..
current setup:
UpCountry with full skids and hooks - 5 brand new 31" BFG ATs on stock Eccos
(bought the jeep this way)
Option 1:
RE 3.5" 6030 add adj. trac-bar, front brake lines and keep 31s - lockers ft./rr ,front bumper/winch combo, rails, etc...wheel on 31s possibly rear bumper.
Option 2:
RE 4.5" 6130, add hd tracbar, buy new 33s and wheels, 4.56 gears, lockers ft./rr, rails, ft. bumper only(no winch), etc..
I CANNOT DECIDE what to do!!! should i get all the goodies and stay 31s or sacrafice parts and go bigger? i hate to get rid of brand new tires i have but 33s would be nice too!! how do you think i can go on 31s locked ft/rr?
