Took the jeep upto the mountains yesterday and did some fishing. Filled up both jerry cans and loaded them on the swing out carrier, with both cans fully loaded and the spare it only drops about 1/16-1/8". My neighbors swing out with one jerry can and his spare drops about half an inch and he bought his from rustys. It was a good day, tried fly fishing for the first time since I was 7, caught six rainbow trout, little bit of wind and light rain showers in the afternoon. All in all a good day out of town.

havnt really done much on this thing, been working on my tow rig. today i traded a set of 3" leaf springs and bloacks from a chevy for a set of 31" tires for the cherokee. i will be getting them dismounted and mount them on my black steelies with internal beadlocks. the only other thing ive really done to the XJ is i undercoated the the whole exterior (tough as bedliner but less weight).

plan was to put the 2" budget boost on today, i got the rear shackles on and it basicly just leveled the jeep out. so i decided not to add the front till i get new leaf springs for the rear. i also trimmed the rear quarter panels.

lastnight i pulled the jeep into the shop and started cleaning the engine bay. A/C didnt even have anything in the lines so i started ripping it out, cruise control didnt work so its gone.





yup theres a fender



yup thats the back



first cut



i did the cut and fold on the rear wheel well so i had to bend some of it back out



couple more cuts



inside piece folded up



used a BFH, jack, and a chunk of firewood to fold it up nice and tight



i seen another guy use pop rivets but just used self tapping screws









old shackle and new rustys shackle



i was kinda leary about doing this because of the fuel lines on the drivers side. they were never in the way, i pulled the cover off, cut and folded the fender, and was able to bend the one side of the cover and bolt it back on.



didnt realize i didnt have a pick of it with the tires back on, ill get one tomorrow.
