Hello All!
Glad to finaly be on the forum! Any way, I am Chanselor. I am fairly new to the Tri cities. I took a summer internship in May and ended up staying after I was offereed a job and to finish out my schooling.
I believe I met some of you at cool desert nights(or at least saw some of your rigs) Any how I have a 99 XJ with a junk yard lift that I have measured out to be around 9 inches. Currently it has bald 31â€

And this is demonstrating the double hinge. The tailgate pulls out slightly to unlatch than you fold it up and in.

Welcome Ace. Looking forward to seeing the rig. I always like seeing what others do with their rigs. This is a first.

I wanted mine to be really unique so I tired this out. When I first flopped it I came up with the idea and it really came together when my brother messed up the hatch. He backed up between a power poll and it's support cable and the cable caught the lip of the hatch as he pulled away and it wasn't pretty.
I do have one other future project that will be awesome if I can do it but we shall see!

Not really. We had a bunch of guys with us so we just pushed it back over and it was fine. Unbelievably I didn’t break a single window! Just a few dents.

When I flopped it I had a 3 inch lift and sway bars with out quick disconnects so that is what did me in. My
Spotter didn't know I still had
My sway bars on because I have cleared that area before with them off

Welcome, glad to see another xj on the site
They are way underestimated
We have highly capable rigs, just add lots of time, and parts and bam
We have a contender
