pics of the two door i got off my dad for 400 bucks. It has 198k mi, but runs strong, and the a/c blows cold and strong. Going to be lifting soon, and putting new tires and wheels on as well. Will keep everyone updated and also open to suggestions. Thanks for all the input


and here's the wheels i picked up off craigslist for 75 bucks.Thought it was a pretty good deal for 2000 oem wrangler wheels.

$75 is not a bad price at all.

thanks, I've got the 3'' RC lift coming with the shocks as well. Do you guys normally use the add a leaf and the blocks when doing this set up. I've done this in the past without any problems or rough ride, but i was just wondering what other people usually do.thanks again for all the input

A little bit of progress recently. Got the lift kit installed today. Its the 3in RC lift. I ended up using the add a leaf and the blocks; trying to get as much lift as possible. I also placed the old leaf back on, just under the new one. Tires will be here Mon. morning along with the commanchee brake lines. Also going to put a rear main seal and oil pan gaskett on it just to be on the safe side. Thanks for tuning in

put the wheels and tires on today, had to fix a couple things after realizing there was some spots that rubbed; nothing major though. I cut some of the rear sway bar on each side, and added some washers to the front to fix all that.



and here's the brake hose from the 84-87 comanchee that we fab'd to work with the lift. the stock hose didn't have any slack so i felt better after we installed this:


As always, thanks for tuning in guys. Input is much appreciated

mike albo

Update: added the the tow foglights on the front bumper. Was pretty easy as the wires were already run, but where capped off when someone removed the stock fogs. Also added the "trail ready" emblems on the q. panels. Figured it was worthy unlike most vehicles that come stock w/ the badge. As always, thanks for the input.
The Fogs: Not sure of the brand, as my dads had them sitting in his garage the past 5 yrs; he bought them to put on his, but never did. I do know they're brighter than my headlights.


and the emblem:

This is looking great, plus I love the aesthetic of the two door XJ.
