Thank you. I'll put up some more full body shots tomorrow night to really show off the front end. I didn't have time tonight... it gets dark sooooo early now.
How do you like the tires? I'm not really liking them that much. They're really stiff, maybe I'll have to play with the tire pressure a little.

Hey buddy, my black four-door '89 has those exact tires, same size and everything but they're wrapped on soft 8's. Anyways, I was wondering where you got those clear side markers lens from, those things look great!

Those should fit your Jeep, but I'm not sure if they're from the same seller that I got mine from.
I looked up a picture of yours, and it would look great with those. Just makes the whole thing look so much cleaner. I love mine. Got some more pictures this morning, but I'm at work and forgot my camera cord so I will definitely put them up tonight.

hey man good looking drive, i have the same front bumper and grill guard as you, but i got mine textured paint with the 2" reciever, still a great looking set-up though, keep up the good work.
I'll ask you the same question, what do you think of those tires?

I'm loving the way this thing looks now! Let me know what you think!
I still haven't got my HID's yet, so I'm thinking there was probably a problem with my order. I'll have to figure that out.
It's been raining like crazy up here since last night, and there is water eeeeeeverywhere. Did a little off roading today but didn't get any pics. Maybe some nice action shots later this weekend.

You DO need to do some drilling if you're putting it on with the Olympic bumper. I think if you are using your stock XJ bumper, the grill guard will bolt right up.

I would think it'd be like using your stock bumper as a recovery point. I did not install my bumper, so I'm not sure how the stock one was attached. The bumper I have is bolted to the frame with 3 or 4 bolts on each side, then there are 4 bolts holding the grille guard in place (on the bumper), so it's very sturdy.
