XJ Tech writeups

[ThePhantum]

So for the last few months, I've been putting together a list of various XJ writeups as I've stumbled across them. The goal was/is to put together a kick ass list of tech reference for XJ's. What's here so far is pretty formidable, but there is always room for improvement. So to all you XJ guys and gals out there, ya'll got any more? If so PM me with them and I'll add 'em here.

Thanks to CoreyXJ, 'Drack, Drake69, Kacon and Vics89XJ for their contributions.
