Default Finally bought one!

Hello all, Happy to say I finally got my disco after an almost 10 year compromise with Jeep XJ.
so out with old busted.

and hello to new hotness

First wheeling trip had some very high highs and some low lows. I cant get over how capable it is with a 2" lift open diffs and 33's. We did spent some time with the oil light on and some terrible clacking noises, it leaks gas from the top of the tank which I assume is a rotted vent tube, and it needs a bunch more trimming and fine tuning for the suspension to work correctly without rubbing real bad. Anyways that's half the fun, is finding what I need to change, or repair to make this new rig perform the way I know it can and should.

Nice looking rig! I really like the green. From what I’ve learned 33’s can be a challenge, but they sure fill out your lift nicely. I’m just finishing a 2” lift on my D2 and am trying to decide on new tires. I’m curious how much trimming you’ll need to do.
