I just bought my first xj which happens to be my first 4x4. With that I have a million and two questions. I ended up getting a 99 with the auto (still dont know what the model is, any help) and 30,000mi. I have already installed a K&N FIPK only because I got it for $100, Hella E-codes because one of the lamps burnt out and am getting a 2 1/2" magnaflow exhaust installed tomorrow. I have also picked up a stereo consisting of an ecplise deck, soundstream VGA 800.1 and VGA 320.4 amps (hope the electrical system can handle it, help) and two sets of Boston Acoustics Pro Series 6.5 compenents (still trying to figure out how i will mount them in the front, help)along with BA Pro 10's. Today I finally decided what lift I want to go with and I placed my order for one of the new RE LA extreme duty lifts but from what I understand they still havent shipped any so it might be awhile, which is fine because my spending spree needs to take a well deserved break. I plan on running the lift with spacers and blocks with 33's for now. What gears should I run. A buddy has a detroit and 4.88's for the rear that i can get for 500 but I dont know if that will be too much gear for daily driving and trail running. At some point in the future i will prob. end up running 35's or 37's. Also my xj is pinging with anything less than super and am getting about 16 MPG, is that normal. I bought some valvoline partial synthetic today (what do people think about running full synthetic in my xj given the year and miles) and some platinum champions with the intention of being able to run sub $2.25 Gallon gas and getting rid of the pinging. Ill end it there for now as I dont even remember what the first 3 lines in this thread are. Thankx in advance for any advise/help, this forum kicks ass and im now addicted.
