Joying is the name of the brand. I have a video with the links that you can check out. 👍🏻

[@cashhiltabiddle6280]

How much is your suspension? Just wondering because I just got the $1000 rough country x series 4.5 inch lift and wondering if it’s a good lift

[@VehicleTribe]

I paid $800 when I bought it from a local guy (original price from website was $945) and then I added the fox shocks that - $400 the set of 4. The only reason I got the RC lift kit was because of the price. It is an "ok" system for beginners.

[@crumpetstallone2339]

Just got myself a '91 XJ almost a year ago, been working on simple components to get it street safe but I've got my eyes on upgrades now. The Amazon store page you made showing what you bought is a nice source, thank you!

[@MrLaurenceDunn]

The ideas here are great, as a Jeep owner for the last 23 years, I can appreciate the custom work that can be done to XJ, WK, and ZJ Jeeps which are very cheap to buy in the UK and maintain if you pick the right ones that have not been abused too much. I run a WK 5.7 HEMI on LPG which gives me the same running costs as a small car.

[@ElPlantPapi]

How reliable is the XJ? I’m currently looking to get one and mod it with a friend of mine. I have one with a 90k miles on my sight but I wanna make sure the motor won’t bust. I’m not a huge 4x4 guy, i would mostly use it in the city and the occasional weekend off roading.

[@MrLaurenceDunn]

@@ElPlantPapi I would say they are great engine wise with the 4.0, but watch out for breaking plastics on 20 year old trucks. Lucky for you the aftermarket for the XJ is there to cater for all the parts you'll need. If I was going to buy one now, it would have to be the 2001 in yellow

[@xmo552]

XJ's became highly popular and their prices seem to have gone up. I would look at ZJ and WJ, they can be cheap and capable. Still kinda affordable but you might have to make payments = look at a WK. The WK has ifs (no live axle up front), but some have e-lockers and hemi. Or look at the "kinda xj" 2008-12 KK Liberty. Another Jeep that I think gets overlooked often is the 2006-10 XK Commander. This one is built on the same platform as the WK. I want an XJ, but I've been considering these others. I built mom a shweet WJ Freedom Edition.... I might just keep that one and get her something else.
