Well it turns out the set of BFG ATs I was suppossed to get I got screwed out of on Craig's list. So I bought a set of General Grabber AT2s instead. Hopefully moutning them up either this Friday or Saturday. Will follow with pics after they get mounted.

 

hey jj looking good there bud , how is she treating you ?

 

Pretty good so far (knock on wood). Got the tires in the mail today so I'll get them mounted up on Friday when I have some time.

 

Nice jeep bro! Wish i could have gotten a newer 2 door instead of my old 4 door. Sounds like its gonna look sick when its all done. Good luck!!

 

Thanks a lot! It'll look good once my bank account looks good again lol We'll see....

 

Well I got my tires mounted and balanced yesterday. They are awesome! I haven't had any chance to wheel em yet, but I hope to soon. Here's a few pics of it sitting.

 

Stopped by the local dealership today and noticed a Mountain Edition JK sitting out front next to the new WK. Thought to myself, "Hmm it's missing something." So I pulled up next to them and thought it made it look a whole lot better lol. In my opinion I think the new WK is going to suck. After seeing everything they did for it to make it "the most capable Jeep yet", I think they could've done better and had a straight front axle not the IFS. Just my thoughts.....





Forgot to mention I picked up a Zone Worx front light bar yesterday with three light mounts on it. Hopefully I'll do this sometime this week if I get some time. Here's what it looks like mounted. (My buddies XJ)

 

yea that new 2011 grand is gonna be like 5000 to lift cause of all the crap under there...... and how much did ya pickup that light bar for?

 

Yeah I know it's gonna be a road truck and thats it. I got the light bar for
$40. Not too bad cause I think it cost $80 new.

 

damn 40 with lights?! nice.

 

Hahaha no lights lol I wish though

 

Today I had a little time after work to do some stuff. First I changed my oil then I finally mounted up a lift gate strut from a WJ for a hood lift. Works great and was super easy. Only snag I ran into was trying to find a 15mm nut for the strut bolt.

I threaded an existing hole to fit the bottom of the strut:




Then mounted the top to the stock hinge:




And here it is all finished up:

 

Made it into cherokee of the month this month so please vote for me!!!!

 

can u take more zoomed out pics of the strut thinger? thats really interesting....
