Hey guys,
I've been contemplating on posting this or not, but I've been thinking about maybe selling my xj ( that is if i could get somewhere near what I paid for it, not counting all the money I threw into it). So you guys seem to know alot about stuff so I was just wondering what you thought I'd be able to get. Just turned 157k, and really nothing wrong with it except the bottom of the doors on the inside are starting to rust (which I planned on taking care of as soon as the weather breaks). I may also be able to transfer the warrenty thats left on it too. Gas is just really killing me driving back home every weekend (sick family memeber). Still just 50/50 right now, really don't wana part with it but just not sure.

. That's just off the top of my head, I have almost all receipts at my house. I realize that I will get nowhere near that, but that's what needed done so it'd be a good running, reliable vehicle, that I could count on in any circumstance. Just trying to get a rough idea on what you guys thought.

I fit 32x11.5x15 BFG KM2 Mud on my stock cherokee with cut and fold rear and cut a lot in the front. I had about 2 inches clearance in the rear, any bumper and i hit - i could flex a curb and thats it. Look at some of my pictures to see the difference after my 4.5" RC lift.
If you are going to off road you should be cutting the fenders anyways.
Also - you can get front recovery points with your stock bumper still on - they have brackets that include 3 stock bumper bolts and tie back into the frame. Mine were cheap and I have tugged hard plenty of times - little bending/tweaking the bumper and hooks - but hasnt left me stranded yet.
Soon enough will have custom bumpers/chopped top/full exterior cage and a stinger bumper obnoxious enough for people to say I am compensating for something else*

You don't have to add holes, the holes are already there on your frame. If i recall, you take 2 bolts out on each side, and install 3 new ones (on each side) they provide you with. And as far as d-rings, i don't think they can be added to the brackets easily, taking the place of the hooks.

Shame I like it haha, just need to shave one spot a little more and it will be good, plus make a custom trans mount.... the way it sits now, I gained 2"clearanceon the belly from what I did have, with the trans mount I make it will net me 3" total increase in clearance. (replacing on stock, would give you 3"increase, trans mount is to drop trans 3/4")
