Yup, Still in love. Nice work man

 

Well I'm gonna be a busy guy working on the Jeep here in the next month I hope. Tracking information on my new front bumper says it will be here Tuesday, so next weekend I'll be installing my new bumper, the Quadratec 9500LB winch, The JCR steering box spacer, and a rugged ridge steering box brace.

Also preparing to pull the trigger on some 4.88 Gears, install kits, and a new front carrier so I can go back to having some power and better drive ability.

I'll leave you with a picture from last weekends wheeling trip.

 

Your Jeep is so nice and Clean! I actually Grew up in Castlerock Washington! So Like 30miles from Centralia!

 

Yeap, castlerock isn't far at all :-) I appreciate the compliment. I'm really excited to get the front bumper mounted up and mount the winch, it's really going to set off the look.

 

What Bumper?

 

Prerunner winch bumper from L&L Fab.

 

Figured I'd update this post with a couple pictures. I finally got the bumper and was able to mount up my winch after making my own winch plate. I coated it with Rustolem spray on liner which I've had good luck with. I even had a chance to test out the winch dragging the Jeep across the yard towards a backhoe. I'll throw up more pictures and edit the beginning of this thread with more information and pictures later on but for now here we are...

 

Very nice. Love the lines of the bumper and it has plenty of clearance for the tires!

 

It also matches up with those sweet flares I got

 

Here's a couple more... Then I'm done :-)

 

What are the specs of your wheels? Im guessing 15x8 w/ 3.75 BS... Im looking at buying the same flares which is why I ask. trying to see see how much tire coverage they give. Also, do you have a picture looking staright down the side showing where the tire is in relation to the flare?

Awesome lookin XJ BTW!!!!!

 

I don't think you could put to many pictures, looks good.

 

Hey mudman, I'm not 100% if they are 3.75 or 4" BS. I can however check when I get back home later. I had a couple pictures floating around my photo bucket, let me know if you want something more specific and I'll go out and snap some.





I thought I had some of the rear but it doesn't look like it.

 

LMAO I love that sticker...

"hold my beer, I want to try something" CLASSIC. I must have one.

 

Thats a perfect pic!!! I think im sold on these flares now. I just need to figure out how they will work with my JCR corner guards. since the rear quarters are 3/16'' thicker, they arent going to line up with the door piece.

also, are they bolted on? or held on with self tapping screws?
