Hitting some trails in Empire, CO

 

Here are a few more from today.

 

Not much, but a clip from the other day.

 

The King is sold!

 

Hey just wondering how you sprayed the wheels. Did you just leave the tires and everything on the axle and just tape it up and spray like that or what?

 

For this set of wheels I only taped the center caps and sprayed them while they were still on. I used the cardboard between the wheel and tire to prevent overspray.
For my set of 31x15s, I took the wheels completely off. I liked this way better because I was able to spray a few coats more evenly & see what needed to be covered a bit easier.

 

What size is that Kargo Master roof rack?

 

PM sent. I'm pretty sure it was the 52"x60"

 

Alright CF, I'm back. Thanks to our member wildbill1, I have acquired another XJ. This one is gold and has 140k & an Aussie installed in the 8.25. Also has roughly a 2" lift, unsure of the rear leaf packs, but the front coils are from a V8 ZJ. Black factory wheels with 30x9.50 Treadwrights. Might leave this one the way it is, but we'll see if I can keep my hands off of it. Already painted the grill & headlight bezels black and installed an old CB I had from my past build. Just bought some F&R Weathertech liners, pretty solid fitment actually. Two Timken hub assemblies & Moog ball joints are also on their way.

 

Here are a couple pictures.

 

Why did you sell the first one?

 

I bought an E55 AMG. Been missing it since. The saddest part is, the guy I sold it to, totaled it in two weeks. :idiot:

 

Oh that sucks. Looks like you put a lot of time and effort into it. So you gonna be building up your new xj then?

 

In time, maybe. I don't think I'm going to go crazy with this one. Maybe some discos, an SYE, armor, and an OME 2" lift.. Should be decently capable The spring rate on these ZJ springs is pretty high iirc, pretty rough. I will be driving it daily, especially as the winter rolls through, that's why it'll be getting new hub assemblies here shortly; otherwise it's been maintained really well.
