Oh, and although I had made it just in case, I didn't need the t-case drop. I have MILD (usually don't notice them) vibrations at 45-46 mph, and that's it.

Hey! Sorry it took me so long to respond, I didn't know you posted, haha.

Anyway, you will not have to modify anything if you do the 3" lift. I didn't touch the steering or brake lines, and I have not had a single issue. You also will not need to modify the track bar. The front axle was shifted about an inch to the drivers side, but once I installed the adjustable track bar, that problem was solved.

Also, with the stock rims and 31s, you will rub the LCAs, but only at full turn (which I rarely run into, except on tight trails or in tight parking lots). My jeep is also my daily commuter to college, and I removed my rear sway bar, but got some disco's for the front. It works out pretty well.

As far as power goes with stock gears, the difference is barely noticeable. You will know you are on bigger tires, but you won't have an issue with power. She will still get up and go when she needs to :)

I get bored living here a lot haha but I still enjoy it. It sucks that eastern is a dry campus and they look down on drinking, but I still get away with it. Thats the only thing I don't really like about it.

And im definitely a fan of gettin the ladies on the trail with me. If I had my XJ up here at school I'd be down to go whenever, but I'm not allowed it here because I'm a freshmen.

We should get together and chill sometime dude. I don't know a lot of people here at Eastern yet, but if you do I'm sure we could find some******to do around here.

I go to school up at Eastern Connecticut State University. So i'm all over Central and Eastern CT all the time. Where do you usually go wheeling? I'll go anywhere but i'm usually hitting it down by the shoreline.

Madison, Clinton, Killingworth, Deep River, Essex.

yeah definitely that'd be cool man. I'm sure someone would let us go somewhere or we could find something to caravan down. and yeah I've been in that dunkin' donuts a few times before lol I think I actually remember a guy in a wheel chair when I was in there last summer...that's pretty cool I'll have to stop in more often 'cuz I'm driving through pretty much every week.

Yeah I hear that, I'm at Manchester Community College right now but transferring after next year. About 2 weeks left for us, can't wait. Yeah Ellington's pretty close to Coventry I think, I actually drive through there pretty often on Route 6 to get to my girlfriend's house. By the way, if you ever do drive Route 6 oh my god man check out this lifted XJ on the side of the road with a yellow paint job and some black flames and no doors for sale...I stare at it every time lol wishing I had the money. But yeah I was just gonna ask you that, about wheeling in Connecticut. As far as I've heard I haven't seen any legal and legit places to take these things, which sucks. I know they have some rallies towards the end of the summer but haven't gone to one yet.
