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!

I'll ask you the same question, what do you think of those tires?

Ebay! http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/84-96...Q5fAccessories

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.

I actually have had mine for a year and put 3000 miles on them, they still look good. The only thing I don't like is that the tread lugs will split every now and then. I also wheel the **** out of my Jeep though, they run good off-road and eat through trails. I chose the 30x9.5/15s because I wanted a little more flex since I only have the 3" Rough Country.

But thanks for posting the link to those lens buddy, I'm grabbing a set of these asap.

i love em, they do ride pretty hard, i use 42-44lbs of air though cuz i want to get the best life out of them. they suck pretty hard in rain though, havent really done any serious mudding or seen any snow with them yet however.

I probably would've gone with the textured paint if my Jeep was any other color but black.







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.
