Thanks for the comment buddy. So i've heard... looks like we just missed out on the heavy snow . Hopefully you get out and enjoy it though!

 

SOLID!

 

Likr your Diff covers say Solid... Awesome documentation of your build keep up the good work...

 

Lookin good

 

Thanks man. Differential covers were only $65 a piece. Pretty good deal.

Thanks buddy.

As for an update, I have decided to switch from OEM Aluminum wheels (Ravine) to OEM Steel wheel (Sawblade).

I like the more bland look, more of a factory look, and if a steel wheel happens to be bent I can always hammer back into place if need be.

I plan on painting these wheels white as well... ExPo look .

 

Nice X, I have a question about your OME lift install. When you installed your OME leafs did you install the (+) leaf on the driver side and the (-) leaf on the passenger side? I just installed the 1.75" OME 930 coils w/ a 1.75" coil spacer and put the slightly taller coil on the driver side, I still need to install the leafs and last time I installed OME HD leafs the passenger side sat about 1.5" higher than the driver side when they were broken in.

Lift-



Front Lift installed "prerunner style"-

 

Ohhh, that's a great question. I can't remember off the top of my head. If I were you I would go ahead and give ARB a call. I remember trying to figure out the same thing and I ended up just calling ARB and they answered my question in about a minute. Their customer service is great.

 

A few pics from the unusual snow that we encountered on Leap Day:

 

The third picture is awesome

 

Thanks man. I had to take a quick photo after I got off work .

 

Today I took a big step and decided to get my Sawblades installed. Going in, I really did not know what to expect as I have never seen this combination before on a XJ. I was iffy, back and forth, yet excited to see the results. It's safe to say that I will not be switching back to the Ravines. I absolutely love this wheel/tire combo on my Jeep!





Side-by-side comparison between the Ravines and Sawblades:

 

to each their own. but Ravines > sawblades any day of the week imho. i really loved the look of your jeep when i saw ur thread last week with the ravines on it, but if you like it better then thats all that matters! ive had people tell me they dont like the rubicon moab wheels on my xj lol.

on another note, are you shooting with a dslr?

 

Ravines > every other stock 15'' jeep wheel.


What are you planning on doing with those ravines?

Dibs

 

Ha I can see what your saying, but as you said, to each their own and I really enjoy these new wheels. It hits the nail on the head with what I am looking for. I strive to be different than others...

Moab's are sweet!

I am not shooting with a DSLR, although I do desperately want one (Nikon 5100 or Canon T3i). I'm in College and unfortunately have to get my priorities straight for the next few years.

But for all my photos I use my iPhone 4S.


Lol. I am going to sell them. It's too bad your not closer because shipping across the States sure won't be cheap.

 

some pretty damn nice pix for a iphone. i use a d40, but im trying my best to upgrade to a d7000 for my birthday
