I'm jealous. Our winter sucked I don't think we got 8" all year. Winters here lately are hit or miss. We get hammered some years and then we have a year like this when its cold its dry and no snow. Figures the year I get my jeep no snow.

Wish I could agree with you guys but the stupidity that comes along with snow in NYC makes me wish it never snows again...

my XJ does very well with towing. I have an extra 1" in the back. mine used to be a surveying vehicle with a lot of steel in the back and all, so they upgraded the leaf springs so it would be level with all the weight. now when I tow stuff, I've had my trailer (about 5x8, but a little bigger) completely full with wet logs and it till didn't ssit level, and it had no problem towing that up and down the hills near me. just had to brake earlier. non abs with heavy trailer can be scary sometimes.

I went outside and apologized to her. My tax return left me with a nice, fat bill and derailed stage 2 plans for at least 6 months

From T&T Customs: Y-link longarm upgrade, Trackbar mount and adjustable trackbar, and axleside control arm mounts

From Quadratec: Teraflex 1'' coil spacers, new coil isolators, JKS 1'' lift shackles, Crown Automotive brakelines front and rear, Fox Racing shocks front and rear, Rototech drilled/slotted rotors, New brake pads, spicer rear driveshaft u-joints, ZJ fan clutch, Smittybilt XRC-8 Comp winch, smittybilt winch cover, ARB winch accesory kit, Warn tow hooks, and a Hi-lift 48'' jack/handle keeper/base

From advance Autoparts: new ball joints x4, new wheel hubs x2, new starter, new stearing box, and a new front pinion seal

From Amazon: LED flasher relay, and a few stickers

Thats all as of right now. I have been saving for a long time to order all of this, and its going to be exciting installing it all at one time!!

I am also ordering some new steering. Right now its between the IRO OTK, or Froelich OTK. I will decide before the end of the day and have that ordered as well
Dang, bet all that cost you pretty penny.

I'm debating about whether or not to install my headlight harness. I should.
