    JKS ACOS Pros fitted to the front, Rubicon Express Boomerang shackles fitted to the rear.
    Swapped to 15x8 with 3.75 regular steel rims (beadlocks were way too heavy) with 35x12.5 ProComp Muddies.
    Front bumper is now coated in POR-15

    Been asked a few times why I refer to our XJ as "The Volvo".....Well have a look at the rear of a Volvo 740 Wagon might give a clue

    And when they're stock they're about the same height as well

    From April 2008:
    Our daily hack for a few years now has been our ever faithful 1998 XJ.
    We've done trips through the high country, around the beaches, Jamboree (2004) and just generally used & abused it.




    To date asside from adding a set of 30x9.5" tyres and a towbar - it's been dead stock.

    Quick update.
    Sadly after sitting in my yard unregistered for about 3 years, and slowly being picked for various spares, I finally made the decision to switch off lifesupport and parted it out.
    On the upside a large amount of the electricals and driveline will be going to help resurect a CJ8.
