New From PA to Bakersfield

[Moondog]

Just moved from Pennsylvania to Bakersfield. Drove my '92 XJ with ~230k miles the whole way while towing a trailer with my motorcycle on it. Fun drive...
Looking for a group to go on some trails with and bounce some ideas off of.

3" lift with 30s
Extended bump stops
Sway Bar disconnects
Roof rack
Bed-lined the lower half
Tint all around

Plans:
Cut fenders with stock flares to fit 32s in
Gas tank MOD to get an extra 5 gallons
Bumpers
Plus many more

nice ride. have you started out with your planned mods?

Any updates with your project? Surely shaving off the fender and installing a fender flare will add that masculine look.

[Moondog]

Yup, I trimmed the fenders and left off the flares (like the look better). I also got 32x11.5R15 tires on some steel wheels, painted the white dessert tan, a light bar for the top, and a CB radio. The biggest improvement I did was the brake swap for the rear. I took the disc brakes from a 96 grand cherokee, so much better stopping, I've actually locked up the rear on dry Asphalt!

By the way was the brake upgrade a complete bolt on procedure?

It basically is, just a little grinding to get the abs sensor to work and swapping out wheel studs for longer ones, nothing too bad. I'll do a write up of it when I get the chance.
