Noob's into and planned build-up
Just wanted to introduce myself and beg for advice. Last week I purchased a 96 XJ from the local county bus line, used to be one of there supervisors cars. Now of course I need to spend stupidly large amounts of money (J.E.E.P.) so that I can upstage all my friends in there TJ's
Anyways, here is my three stage plan on what to do to this rig based on reading the posts here and in other forums. The jeep already has a gas tank skid plate so I'm, planning on just using that until it gets to beet up, then replacing it at that time. Also this jeep will see light DD use, but only short trips 2 or 3 times a week.
Stage 1
TNT Y-Link suspension system
Super Swampers Trxus 33x12.5R15
15x8" 3.75 back spacing steel wheels
A/A SYE $ tom woods CV driveshaft
AJ's rock rails
Stage2
Dana 44 from a 87 XJ <---have sitting in my garage
gears - 4.55
front locker - Lock-Rite
rear locker - Detroit
Stage 3
Trailblazer front bumper from C4x4
Rear bumper and tire carrier also from C4x4
Super winch Epi 9.0
