I'm liking the way the 10.5 swampers look.

thanks guys for the comments. I like the look of the tires too. My leaf spring bushings are like coming apart causing my axle to be off centered. I never plan on buying rough country again.

looking at buying a parts XJ next week. Its a 94 with a 4.0. I just want the motor, but I figure I can just leave it in the backyard and use it for parts when something breaks

Just got my C4x4 tow hook brackets on tonight, and the tow hooks. Ill have pics tomorrow.

parts xjs are the shiz. and if you do it right (sell extra parts on craigs list) you can pay for everything you wanna do to your jeep. I think i have had 9 or 10 parts jeeps this year

Looking good! Makes me want to go with a bigger lift. Gotta love those southern vehicles... Nice and clean until they get molested by northern winters!

I just washed and prepped underneath, I have a ton of bed liner I am spraying underneath to try and keep it fresh

Did a lot of wheeling today.. lift works great. Got in to the rocker panel a bit, but not to bad at all. Doing a motor swap soon, this one is getting very tired.

I have rustolem bed liner from home depot. I have had great luck with this stuff lasting. I used duplicolor roll on before on the interior on an old jeep, and it was not as thick as I would like it to have been, but it held fine and prevented rust. As long as you prep the surface really good (degrease a ton, wash, scrub, wash, and prime) it will be glued for life.

I hit the leafs back over with a hammer, and torqued the bolts down, and haven't had a problem since.

The headlights are aftermarket. They are ebay cheapo H4 headlight housings, with 10,000k HID's (looking for 4300k)..

Here is some pictures from some wheeling I did at a spot near my camp.
View of Mount Washington:

1,100 foot drop in front of my jeep


I Replaced the injectors, one of them didn't even have an o-ring on it
Runs much better, but still needs work to run right..might try CPS next.
