Nice looking XJ...going through your plans hopes and dreams I noticed you wanted to go BIG on the tires, I'm sure Jeff's already told you the biggest you're really going to be able to stuff under there on a 3" lift is about a 31" tire without doing any trimming to the body. As far as wheels go I'd keep the ones you have and put some bigger meat on there, they'll handle a 10.5 tire fine, if you scratch it you can spray paint it. If you want to get away from the steelies that are on there now I'd go with the canyons that Jeff had on his, I think with a meaty tire they look slick on an XJ. The front diff leak is a pretty common thing on the D30 front axle, short of going to a lube locker gasket there's not a whole lot you're going to be able to do, and even if you get that it'll prolly still leak out around the fill plug. Just remember though it's a Jeep if you hear a new noise it means your radio's not turned up enough.
