I'm happy with the gearing. I'd prefer to go lower, but don't trust the tiny ring and pinion and only two teeth engaged with 4.88's on a D30.

 

I ran 488's with 35's then 36's for years with a d30 and a bolt in d35. Most of the carnage I can blame on my right foot being stupid. Never had gear issues hiway or offroad.

 

Finished the bumper up this week. Finally . . .

 

just read your entire build. that's one bad looking jeep my friend. your attention to detail is fantastic. will keep watching this one!!!

 

Couple of glamour shots since I it cleaned up this morning.

 

Nice rig Brent. FYI I'm Brent aswell haha .

 

That is one amazing, and beautiful rig you've got there!
I'm shooting for something similar, but white. I just hope mine comes out half as nice as yours!!

 

amazing...

 

That's one clean xj!

 

I just got a set of those. Did you have to do anything special, or just plug them in and go? Mine do some crazy flashing thing and stay on high beam while the engine is running, but work normal when it's not running.

 

I just plugged them in and had no issues.

 

beautiful xj by far my favorite jeep on the forum.Im going to copy your cage.

 

dude.. SEXY!

 

Couple updates. Mounted a 42" light bar above the windshield awhile back. Totally worthless IMO. Any time there is any dust whatsoever, it's impossible to see. The 20" on the front bumper works great though. Also just this week, cut a couple big holes in the hood and installed some hood vents. We'll see if it make any difference in the AZ heat.

 

What sliders do you have there? I didn't see anything as I browsed through. Love everything about the build!
