Anyone installed one of these?

Write-ups I've seen make it sound like a simple bolt in. However, I've seen at least one other XJ owner who had to use spacers to clear his oil pan. I tried to test fit this, it's not even close, I'd need to use a LOT of spacers to get it to clear the oil pan. Anyone have any experience w/this brace? know why it's not clearing? I don't have an aftermarket oil pan, are there different size factory pans?

I've got an email into RE to see what they say...

No reply from RE, although from what I've heard, that's normal for them.

Gotta inspect my motor mounts, hadn't considered that, might be shot and things are sagging a bit. No one is running this brace?

There's only a handfull of XJ owners on this board.

The only XJ's I've done were TNT LA setups.

Try finding out on NAXJA perhaps?

Probably because only 10 or so of the eleventy billion members on that board actually wheel.

I've got the best NAXJA story ever.....but is solely reserved for around a campfire talk....

I will say, I don't blame you for not being excited to hang out with them....
