Looks great man! A little bit of black paint / bedliner goes a LONG way for the appearance of the XJ. Looks clean!

hey i love the look of your jeep. those rims on there they are 5x5 bolt correct? and the jeep has a 5x4.5 . i just wanted to know if this is right and did you have to get a wheel adapter/ spacer for them and what size tires do you have on there?

Your rig is incredible. Im in the very early stages of my build and your XJ is very inspiring. Would love to know how you got those wheels on.
I might have to jack your bed liner idea LOL. My moldings are pealing off so I decided to remove them altogether.

Thanks

I did some digging online and found that '97 Wranglers have the 5x 4.5 bolt pattern too. I found similar rims on www.quadratec.com the ones on the website are called Mamba Offroad Type MR-1 and come in three different finishes. 16x8" $139.99

when you painted the rockers did you prep it at all or did you just paint over the original paint?
