I can't wait to see those 33's on there, it's going to look meeeeean.
Well I never rubbed on 31s with 3" of lift on the front bumper and with 1" spacers it's no problem at all. The 33s are for my uncle's Power Ram, but I'm really considering getting them because they would be sweet. Gotta get some flat fenders first so I can still be legal. Plus I'm not too big on the flare-less look.

Is new jersey really that strict on your tires being fully covered by flares?? You can make a lot of room by removing your fender liners and trimming un noticable stuff in the wheel wells

i live a town over from jerseyjeeper, i've never had any problems in any part of the state with the zj, tires poke out atleast a few inches (jersey can attest to that), ive driven it all over jersey and haven't had any problems. but like he said, he dislikes the flareless look.

Yeah they do lol Most people I know don't have any issues with them from the law. I've trimmed up the inner pieces as well to make as mush room as possible for now.

Jersey, sorry i didn't hit you up. I've never had a problem with my 31s on 3" either. but i as well, don't like the flareless look (and imo I don't really like the bushwackers all that much either.)

Hahaha it's all good, I ended up having a 48 hr. work week anyway. I hate the way Bushwacker Pocket flares look, but I really like the way the tube fenders look. They look so mean from the front.

So it has been a long time since I've updated this build. I just ordered a new cat-back kit from Mudfrog. I got the Flow Master Super 40 kit and I'm super excited to get it on my rig. I can't wait to hear how it sounds!! Also tightened up my serp. belt because it was squealing a little bit.

Here's a picture of what those 33s ended up going on:

Got my new 2.5" Flowmaster 40 cat back on today from Performance Curve. It sounded awesome. Reason why I say it "sounded" awesome was because shortly after some woman ran into the back of me and now it sounds a little off. Oh well I guess it happens. Ended up smashing my rear bumper so that I can't open the hatch to get my stuff out. Looks like no unibody damage so for now it's ok to still drive. Not too much damage but just enough to be inconvenient.

Sucks that someone ran into the back of you. But now that gives you a reason to get a stronger rear bumper

Well I got my new brakelines finally installed. Stainless steel lines from Rusty's. Replaced the pads and rotors too. Also replaced the front axle ujoints and a hub on the passenger side. Will follow up with pictures later on today or tomorrow.

I'll be doing a couple of things coming up next week before I head back to school like building a cubby hole sub woofer enclosurer and finally mounting my CB antenna. Looking forward to getting to these projects because it's been killing me all summer that I haven't really worked on my Jeep that much. Also little things like changing the oil and tweaking my new exhaust a little.

So today I swapped out my blower motor resistor because my AC only worked on the 4th level and it was tough to hear people over it. Now every level works great and it was a quick 20 minute fix.

Who can guess which one was the old one??

Have an exhaust rattle I have to fix. Nothing major just annoying. Hopefully I'll be getting around to my cubby hole sub box next weekend if everything goes according to plan.
