you're off to a great start.... posting pics before its even in your possession; now that's what i call dedication!

Any plans for it? (i recommend skids first if you're planning on some wheeling trips)

I sense your sarcasm, but were from the state of NY. Not the city...AKA CANADA...lol

HAHA dedication yes I cant wait to take delivery!! I have lots of plans, kind of a lost dog dont know where to start haha. Fortunately it already has the gas tank and transfer case skids, I plan on getting diff guard, front skid and CAI based off what you experienced guys already have, then Ill enjoy it for awhile til I get bored and the next bonus check comes in!! Although it has a few goodies, after the skids and CAI are done I am open to any suggestions as far as modifications, its on stock springs and shocks so maybe there???

Superacerc- hahaha no thats not upstate NY thats for sure!! Once I get it, there will be plenty of pics with upstate NY scenery..

I recommend finishing off the armor. The stock skids are ok but any serious off road adventures will bring there weakness out. A belly guard and rock rails from steel armadillo should be hight on your list.

[Matt]

I'd personally bypass on the CAI for other mods, like the Steel Armadillo sliders... or get a high performance filter and the airaid MIT tube (beyond that there really aren't any gains for vehicles like these that you're not running WOT down a track).

And if you're interested, im going to sell my front guard/lights so i can save up for a new front bumper

I also had a 96 ZJ Limited with 5.2 and custom CAI... That thing was a monster. I miss it. It was also the same color as your XK. Nice garage!

Thanks Matt, thinking OME will go on before winter, I wont need anything more than stock for now and armor... AJeepZJ, I love the 96 its my dads ride but Im DD it while waiting on the XK, he's got a company 2011 Jeep GC for now, only problem with ZJs it seems like there is always something to be fixed, although we've got containers and containers of parts, its never the "fun" stuff that needs fixin, guess you cant expect much with 260k.. The Jeep is clean, cleaner than most late models Ive seen.. Ive got a photobook link Ill put up of detailed pics.. Right now Im on the edge of my seat for my XK to arrive, truck driver said he might be a day early, so possibly Tuesday arrival!!
