Yeah I opted against it for now. I already trimmed them up that way not for tire clearance, just for when I pull the fenders off.

Thanks a lot!! I love when people like it cause I'm in love with it lol Yeah it's a rage and it's awesome. It definitely holds more than 150lbs though. I've had the tire, a full 5 gal. gas can and myself on top of it on two stock roof rails and it didn't do so much but wiggle. It was totally worth the money!!

Well spend sometime on my jeep today. Decided to make some sort of intake box (sorry no pics of it yet) not quite done yet with it.

Also gave the XJ a bath today:




Also had a squeaking from the front. Found out it was the cv joint of the front shaft. Needs to be rebuilt because the grease seals are worn out and it holds no grease.

Anyone know of any rebuild kits for it???

Hahaha well it's kinda confusing I know. I live in Lavallette all summer at my beach house. Milltown only some of the time between school and summer because that's where my family lives. And Wayne most of the time because I go to William Paterson University and live on campus.

Where about in Mantoloking?? My girlfriend has a place in Mantoloking Shores.
