Excited about the xj... first pics

well... I recently made the move from a YJ to the XJ... It's an '88 Laredo... I picked it up w/ 25k miles on a new motor for $1000.

So far, I've put on the RE 3.5 lift, threw on the wheels from the YJ, and tinted the windows....
I can't find the pics of the pre-lift... but here is the post lift pic...

and here it is with different wheels and 31" tires:

and then I had the windows tinted:


It's not much yet, but I like it heaps!


Just finished the new radiator hoses, t-stat and system flush... next to do a new wiper switch (existing one is broken, and only works on slow speed, and CC does not work)... later I'll add the safari roof rack for the spare and high-lift, some lights... and eventually aftermarket bumpers...

It looks very similar to my '89, it's even the same color.
