Page 3 has the most recent upgrades.

I have an 89' Jeep cherokee that I bought stock a year ago for $700. It is currently lifted 5" in the front and 6" in the rear... my leaf pack is sagging big time. I built a custom 1/4" front bumper, I will post pics soon of the build process. I'm running 31x8.5 tires and have a new set of 33x10.5 sitting in the garage. I also fabbed a switch panel to run most of my electronic crap (lights, fans, two-way radios).  I also built a custom storage box in the back that I mount my high lift on. My plans in the next months are an Ected Auburn locker for the rear, inside of a dana44 that I'm putting in place of the 35. I also plan to build a short rack for my spare tire. Will post pics as I'm able.

Most of the pics posted are with the a 3" spacer lift. In those pics I have a temporary square tubing bumper. All pics with the slanted plate on the front are new and with the 5" suspension lift.

I wheel with my unoffical club "Superior 4 Wheel Drive" (check the web site).

Looks good! I like it a lot. Funny how you have "CUP HOLDERS!" in your interior specs... lol. Beautiful pics, too. The 18th one on your site on page 3 is an incredible view! Where is that? Check out my 1994 Chevy S-10 4x4 sometime, too! Take it easy and keep up the good work! Keep Wheelin'

Nice XJ. I actually recommend Detroit Lockers instead of the Electronically Controlled Traction Diff. I have had tremendous success with mine over extremely harsh terrain. The Detroit Lockers are a little cheaper than the Ected ones too. If you are gonna use this rig as a real trail truck, don't get the Ected lockers. If this is mostly a street truck and used for offroading sometimes, they will work fine for a limited slip diff....
