It will be awhile, those 35s were just to test on Stephen's XJ, I haven't actually bought anything. And nope, haven't messed with the bump stops at all haha. I'll get around to them eventually, I just don't feel like taking those springs out again right now.

Haven't done much work on the front end, I just haven't had the time.

Pic of the new disconnects, they are bigger than I thought they were.



Can still fit in the garage with the rack.





Thanks Zena.



Old crap.



Can you tell which one is new?

Went wheeling today with my friend Tommy with his Xterra on 33s, and my new friend Anthony with a 2 door JK Rubicon on 35s. People that hate on JKs are either jealous tards or just in denial, because that thing was awesome.

Not bad for fixed lower short arms and stock track bar.



The Xterra has IFS and had little to no articulation up front.

The JK on the other hand, had absolutely no problems with flex. And with 4.10 gears, an automatic, and a 4:1 transfer case, his crawl ratio was freaking fantastic.

My phone ran out of memory so I would have a lot more pics. Everyone else had cameras too so I'll get their pictures as soon as I can and throw them up too.

looks like a great time.

and the only reason i hate on JKs is because all the stuck up rich kids around here have their daddys buy them and lift em up and they never see offroad. and they always say mine a ''piece'' or not a real jeep. rant/

That could be said of any Jeep though, or any car for that matter. I know a lot of TJ guys that are the same way. Anthony's JK was built by him in his backyard, he even fabbed up his bumper. Much respect!

But yes it was an awesome day haha

I have that game! And yeah Tommy's X is sick, if I wasn't such a Jeep enthusiast I would love to have one.

A few more pictures from the wheeling trip, these are from Anthony's nice camera and are much better quality.
