i bought my 93 XJ a year and a half ago in december from my dealer for $500. the paint and interior were mint, the catch was it had 247k on it but ran excellent.    drove it stock over the winter and did research / saved money for a lift. finally last year in april (ironically about the same time heavymetal got its ravines  ) i bought a rusty's 4.5" lift and 33" pro comps because they were a good price and i didn't know any better  during the lift  first day out  modified it here and there over the summer and in oct finally showed back up on SiS where i got really serious into my jeep and the whole community. added C4x4 tow hooks MORE motor mounts MORE steering brace TnT OTK steering and custom track bar  |

FYI DO not do the ZJ discs. It is IMHO a very unsafe mod. Do Crown Vic discs, Direct bolt on disc brake swap for XJ D 44's. PM or IM me for more info if you wish.
