Not much room to work with...

Simple 3"



100% sleeper, great power, and yet still perfectly reliable. I couldn't be happier.

I like it, something that's totally different from what you normally see in Jeeps.

 

nothing like stuffing 10 lbs of awesome into a 5 lb bag.

 

Thanks for the flanges! It was at least 1lb of the 10lbs of awesome

 

Very nice. My first vehicle was a '94 Cherokee Sport with the 4.0L Inline 6. Bought it with 125,000 miles back in high school, kept it around for beach duty, and recently sold it to my cousin pushing 190,000 miles. They're bulletproof and I'm sure that thing is a ton of fun. Enjoy!

 

I miss my old xj! I want it back lol
