Default My Green XJ - From Stock to semi built

I figured I would just throw this here.....

Had some fun off roading in it's stock form, but there are a lot of trails it just couldn't do.

When we bought it, the tires were pretty worn. So a couple of weeks ago I put these on:
31x10.5x15 with stock wrangler wheels (off road tires are WAY more expensive then a lot of really good street tires)
