My 2000 XJ Limited Build

How do those tires do in the mud? I've heard great things about them in dirt, rocks and even sand(curious about mud). They look awesome too.
Any plans to lift it more?

So far in the mud they have been great! havent had much trouble getting out of some thick stuff! and i do plan on lifting it more maybe around 4.5-6" . . i wana get rid of the dana 35 first though before i lift it more so i can run bigger tires with confidence, im also a young dad (22) so my time and money are limited right now with the job i have so itll be a slow build now for awhile!

Your build is awesome and nearly exactly what I need to do. I'm on a budget because my daughter is due in 35 days! Congrats on your baby BTW.
Check out my build "Camping Buddy". I hope to get mine lifted 3.5 inches one day soon. Just need to find used parts to do it. Then get the wheels and tires.
Did you have any ideas on how to get those three tabs of the rear rocker panels after you removed the bumper caps? I plan on extending my bed liner to that point this weekend but want to remove those tabs.
Sounds like you have a great time with your jeep, wish I lived near other jeepers ha ha

Going to be updating the thread for him again, since hes a lil busy. he went ahead and did the doorless mod over the summer.
I upgraded to a new lift so he put my old lift on his jeep along with his current lift and he gained around 5" out of it.
He mounted one of our buddies 33s on his Jeep, and it looks real good.

So he found a Dana 30 HP for real cheap out of a '92 XJ. He needed it because he completely destroyed his LP doing some wheeling.
Heeres the HP axle, gotta remove all of the old stuff.
Once that was all done, we dropped the old axle, and got the new one ready to go up in the Jeep.
And heres the new axle all mounted into place. Fairly easy swap started at 9 finished at 1. I think i ma do the same swap in my Jeep in the future.
