Hey, so over the last couple of weeks i have talked to numerous people about my jeep so heres the low down, 88 XJ, 2WD, 240K, Dana 35, looks great and clean in and out, when i baught it the guy said its complete stock but at a M & G i had a guy check it out and they said it was 2-3" i got rancho 5000, red coils (thinking rancho to) and a add a leaf in the rear. Now the thing that is running threw my head is where to go from here. I want to go bigger :clap: but should i do a Pre-runner setup and keep it 2wd or should i do a 4wd conversion and join the rest of you. the thing i hear the most when i mention 4wd conversion is why not just buy a 4wd, well that in my case can not be an option. I baught the car for 1800, but my parents went 1/2 for my insurance so right now being a current highschool student i am pretty straped for cash, and 90% of my work money goes to my jeep. so long story short wont fly with the parents, but i can do almost anything with my current jeep. as soon as i got the money my first big purchase was my tires/rims, got the eccos from a guy for 125, and the BFG A/Ts 31"

I think it looks alot better. So back to the topic, i am really leaning toward the pre-runner cause for some reason it apeals more to me maybe because i like the going fast over sand or the air time, but wheeling like mudding, and trails is also what i want to do so i am kind of split. One other key to my project is budget if i didnt live with my mom i would be living off roman noodles, i make probably 100-175 every week, just to let you know how i stand financialy. So where should i go from here?
