Today I FINALLY ordered a set of Trail Gear shock hoops from Foothill Motorsports off of Pirate. Got them for a great price. They will match any TG price you can find.

Well folks, I said I was going back to an XJ so that's what I did. Just a recap on my previous Jeeps...
My first XJ the day I sold it. 95' Sport 5 speed...

My second.... 87' Waggy XJ w/ factory 44 and HP non disco 30. Wish I kept this one...

And of course, my TJ I just recently sold....

Well after my TJ, I started looking for my next XJ. I knew I wanted a 97'+, so that's what I went after. While searching craigslist, I came across a 99' with 130k miles. Girl that owned it said it needed a radiator. All it really needed was a cap. Talked her down to $1600 and brought it home. Had some awesome seat covers and looked and smelled like an ash tray inside...

I'll brace it and paint it tomorrow. It really does ride sooooooo much better. One of the best mods I have done. At the moment I am running the shocks that came with my lift, which I THINK are 10 inch travel shocks.
