Haha that's what's I'm saying. I like how the 15x10 stance is. Looks mean.

I am looking to possibly regear and lock the XJ soon.. I was thinking 4.56 or 4.10 Yukon gears and Aussie Locker. Should I lock the front or the rear first? (Don't think I can afford to do both right away). Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

4.56 are a happy medium. U can run 33s or 35s aaround town or on the highway just fine. If ur gonna go bigger than that look into 4.88s or bigger.

Going to pick up a roof rack I found off Craigslist for $120 tomorrow it's a 60x40 surco came of an XJ.. I wanna add 4 round LEDs across the front and 2 squares on the rear. Www.superbrightleds.com has awesome deals on these lights

Ive been lookin at those round lights for a while trying to decide if I like them. The specs of it look great. Aluminum housing w/ heat sink, all stainless steel mounting, 990 lumens. It looks like like a nice unit, I would really like to see them mounted on a jeep to see thier light output and find out if the quality is really there for a $90 LED light

Right now I'm running a $140 12" lightbar off eBay and its great.. It's a knock off of Rigid Industries but why spend $300+ just for the brand? These round ones are going for $59.95 - you can't beat that price and they are 2025 lumens each (9 LEDs per light). For that price you can't beat it.
