[QUOTE="OverlandZJ;2703502"]Turn the hardware around on the upper swaybar links. The way it is you'll be rubbing on the unirail..

Fit smaller tires and don't trim, that XJ is gorgeous and should be left untrimmed.[i/QUOTE]
I agree

Haha I very much disagree... But everyone's jeep is his own! So go with what u want. Haha honestly the only reason I did trimming and 33s is cause my older brother did it. In my thread it's the black cherokee I have a pic up of it. My dad didn't want me to trim haha disobey!

Nice Jeep! I love the paint-matched bumpers and flares on Limiteds and Classics, especially white ones (I'm biased though). I got my 2000 When I was 15, too. But you got a better deal...Mine had an asking price of $5,500 and had 160-170,000 miles, but yeah nice Jeep! I'm jealous that you have a place to work on yours. That's what's holding me back–Not wanting to pay literal hundreds of dollars for someone to put my Jeep parts on

Yeah I'm very lucky for the big garage we have and the tools, and the dad to help me and teach me. I looked and looked for so long and finally found this for a steal of a deal, all of the other ones on craigslist were going for 7 to 8 grand. I mainly Bligh it because of the price and now I have plenty of time to work on it

As for the end caps, we sanded them down and are going to paint them with the bumpers.
Got the bumpers painted, here is what its gonna look like, it isn't fully dry so we didn't put it in for good, I just wanted to see what it would look like, I'll post some pics of the end caps too

From a TJ with a 16" wheel, no.

From a JK, yes.
