Important XJ mods for wheeling. What do I really need?

[anthonygubbin]

Hi guys I'm wanting to work out budgets and save for mods that I really will need to do decent wheeling. Below is what I have and what I am getting in the next few months. I don't want to go too extreme just want to make sure she is reliable.

Have List:
Wooders Panhard
Panhard relocation bracket, chassis end
Maxitrac 2" lift over Sport rear, with shackles & weight sitting at about 2.25"
King coils & 30mm spacers, with the additional weight are sitting at 2"
JKS shackles
Rancho 9000s all round
Ext bump stops all round
Ext links
Chrysler 8.25
4.11s F & R
RE fixed lower arms with FJs
HD steering damper
ARB bar an 12t winch
Ext rear brake line

On my definite list is:
IPF rectangle spotties with 130s, have loom upgrade with 130s but still need more light
31" Bighorns, first on the list as soon as the budget allows

I guess I would like to know if I need much else and the order of necessity.

Please no 33s, guard chops BW flares and other major mods which I can not justify on my budget.

I can you with the IPF's....

I'd go for a SYE, proper front coils, ditch the spacers if you want good flex, disconnects....

Thanks JJ. I was thinking of getting some RE coils at some stage. Definitely going on the list. Your spotties I have been keeping eye on . Couple of questions re the SYE does the TC need to come out to fit it? What's the approx cost for the parts? Disconnects, OK I'll add them to the wish list for next year. ATM I use my ratchet spanners, which is fairly quick.

Get cheaper shocks Ranchos over priced and just get a 9.5 winch, savings on a front lokka

Too late already have both Ranchos and Winch.

Others will disagree but... Some sliders and decent bar work to protect your car, when you are stressing less about damage its amazing how much further you go

lockers/axle upgrades.

Throw the rest of the cash towards maintanence and fuel so you can enjoy it. If you need more than that its time for a roll cage and 37's

Good point, forgot the sliders....
