Did you guys look at this XJ that's for sale on CL for almost 15 grand? It's pretty freaking sick.

So I got a buddy of mine in Marlowe hooking me up with 3" coils today...Cordelia is taking my springs off today (which I will probably take apart and rebuild since they were sagging a little).

All I need are brake lines and tires and I have all the parts for my Jeep.

The next step is to do body work and sheet metal coercing.

I decided to hold off on the build until I find a job. I would prefer to have another DD instead of the Jeep and I need to make money to buy one.

I completely agree with it's "sickness", however, the price is pretty "sick" too.

Brake lines are simple, GMC 1500 truck lines for the front and a Dakota Line for the rear.

Just finished mounting up the antenna bracket I made for my CB. I don't like it. Back to the drawing board. Need thicker metal.

No SYE. That's stock TC. Get the IRO SYE.

Thanks guys, looks like I'll be holding off on the bilsteins cause that 5.5 with a their HD sye and JKS disco's is gonna run me just a hair over $1300. Now the driveshaft question. I really don't have the extra $270 to spend on the custom tom woods driveshaft. what are some low budget options for me here?

I'm planning on getting a master rebuild kit and a new HD chain for the TC, if I'm gonna open it I'm gonna rebuild it.

Rugged Ridge SYE and a Front XJ Drive shaft. *or if the XJ shaft is too short, grab a ZJ shaft, its like 2 inches longer*

The same thing I'm gonna be running.
