I feel your pain brother.
I have a 95 XJ wih an 8.8, winch, custom bumpers, 4.88 gears, OBA etc
I go out and buy my 87 MJ, so, I can have a vehicle as a DD.
I put a 3.5 lift on the MJ just to give it some look. Then 31" tires and black rims, next thing you know, I am thinnking about axles. aaaaaahhhhh
