Well worth the price just for the reference. I've gone a bit past what it talks about but it has everything from budget lifts to rear coil conversions, locker installs, specs on all models and then some. I still pull it out from time to time to get a quick answer or idea.

If I had the extra money I'd definitely buy one. I've been known to make detours to the local bookstore to look something up in it before I did something on the heep haha

This is about the best book to get for building reference. I take it with me just to read it over and over and over again.

A must have for any XJ owner... If everyone had one, some of the repeated topics might not show up here...
