Found a killer deal on a brand new set of 35 x 12.50 x 17 Maxxis Trepador radials. Got them all mounted last weekend.

 

Those look great under your XJ, nicely done.

 

Wow, you have a really clean rig brother. Excellent attention to detail.

 

holy wow.. jeep is incredible just went through the whole build.. wow

 

This is one of the nicest cleanest jeeps I think I have ever seen looks really sweet

Love the foxes seems a lot of jeep guys have them I'm on my second one now

 

Awesome jeep, so clean and capable. Where did you get those new rear shock mounts from?

 

I just read through this whole thread and that cage is so clean! Sick Jeep!

 

Hey Brent, what's the rim width and backspace?
I'm going 35's and like the way those don't stick out too far.

 

They're Zone Offroad. About $30.

 

Mike, they're 17 x 8.5" with 4" backspacing.


P.S. You, Whitey and I need to go wheeling soon . . .

 

Agreed.

 

Update. My front upper control arm bushings had seen better days. Got tired of the clunking and decided rather than stock replacements, I'd go with Johnny Joints. Here's a few pics. After replacement, all I can say is wow. I didn't realize how bad it drove with the worn out bushings until I replaced them. Drives like a Caddy now. Well, not really, but it's a lot better.


16 year old bushing . . . pretty sad.



Driver's side after removal.



New shiny Johnny Joint. Yes, that's frost on there. I put it in the freezer for a couple hours before I attempted the install.

Passenger side before.



Modified stock bracket.



New Johnny Joint with bracket.



Done . . . just needs a little paint.

 

just read your whole thread. Nice build. I used your hilift mount idea about 6 months ago. I just bought a dana 30 hp to swap in my jeep and plan on using johny joints to replace the beat up bushings. Do you have the part #s you used so I cant screw up and order the wrong size..thanks Heath
