Ballistic17's 99 Xj project

Ballistic17 · Nov 1, 2020

Just picked up this 99 Xj last week. Currently has a Rough Country 3.5" lift with 31's. Otherwise pretty much stock. Still researching parts for it but plan on making a nice capable trail rig.

XJ's are getting harder to find for a good price and/or good condition.
Looks like you snagged a really nice one! Looking forward to the build.

Wow, that's probably the nicest bumper I've ever seen for an XJ. Great choice!:thumb:

Clearly it hasn't seen a Michigan road with a body like that.

Thanks guys. I'm the third owner and the second owner only had it about 6 months before going a different route for his build. It's originally a Colorado vehicle and now in Minnesota. So it'll get its fair share of salt and sand this winter.

Starting to make a list for upgrading the lift. All parts are from local company Iron Rock Offroad.

Accidentally added two. My local shop will be ordering all the parts and installing for me. Probably be around March when I do it.
