Adam provided the amazing guidance for the right product for me. Luke and Andy helped install in Andy's garage. It took us about 6 hours, no problems. The only minor holdup we had is you're supposed to use the rear sway bar links on the front, and the new provided sway bar links on the rear. We started...

As those who know me, I'm really picky about tires.... I have absolutly fallen in love with the Maxxis bighorn tires however. I come from running BFG MT's (among several others in the past) and I'd run the Maxxis over the BFG's anyday. They clean really well in mud, and good in the rain and snow due to the s...

Quickor Front Performance Swaybar Install

Anyone who knows me knows that I'm a suspension freak. I spent years racing BMW's and my daily drivers are highly modified BMW's. So suspension tuning and handling is something that I am very anal about. That being said, I HATE it when I make the switch from by BMW to the Jeeps. It's a total different driv...

Another project during the lift install was adding some recovery up front. To help with this project I hired my oldest, Emma. Actually she basicaly took over this project and did every thing buy herself. I did help on final torque. Which proves I'm still good for something. The c4x4 hooks are in my opin...

Not to mention now we've got to take a lot of baby stuff along with us on long trips. The XJ's are roomy, but when camping you quickly run out of room. So we opted to purchase a roof rack ca...

When I purchased my XJ, the previous onwer welded the rear shocks to a set of home made extensions ( a bolt, stacked washers, two nuts, and welding slag). Over time I broke this hack job.
