Daymn that rim looks wide in that pic.

any pics of them on yet?

 

Nice build man. Followin this thread. Wanna see more

 

how much shipped to 60656? u can pm me so we dont chat up your build page

 

ill pm you but theres a couple people who have asked first..heres the latest on the jeep..its been sitting in the garage with a dead batt..died on the way home saturday night..ive just been bumming rides off friends to work for the past week haha

 

so here she sits..dead





heres how far the tires stick out



still need to lift the back end up..ive got to change the alternator in it..again..gonna make a splash shield this time around..or just avoid mud but what fun is that? haha

but yeah..i wont be able to change it til sunday cause tonight the gf already made plans to go downtown on a date night and see a holiday parade and i promised her i wouldnt miss this one since most of our date nights get cancelled due to the jeep haha. i just made her promise she will get up at 6 with me and drive me to work every day and pick me up at 9 every night.

 

that looks good man, i gotta make a splash shield for my alt. also i was thinking just an old license plate whats your plan?

 

thanks man i originally had a 6x12 sheet of aluminum with self tappers up in it but it was ripped down when i hydrolocked my jeep and was pulled out backwards. im thinking something more along the lines of some thicker metals and actual bolts holding it up. also gonna cut it out a little more..the original shield rested on the oil pan too and was just way to flimsy.

 

Such a cool XJ, I hope you get it up and runnin' again real soon! Good Luck!

 

thanks man actually just got it running tonight..so i pulled the alt and it had a dent in it..WTF



no idea how it got there..so new one went in, hooked everything back up, good to go. funny thing is, now at 8.5" of lift, i could just sit under the jeep and pull the alternator hahahaha awesome.

test drove it, it had been snowing since i left work so i was anxious to get out..man it was snowing like crazy and still is. ofcourse brings out the worst in other drivers. i had a pathfinder pull out infront of me and ofcourse skipped the right lane and went right into the middle where i was. had i stopped i would have slid into him so i swerved, downshifted and slid around him..stupid dude on his cell phone. point of this, god i love the KM2s in the snow! i had to bring the cam and got some good pics.













and damage report..was waiting in an empty parking lot for my buddy with his XJ on like 4" and 33s with a home built cow catcher bumper. well, showing off to some friends, he slid sideways and over drifted and hit me..just pushed in the pass side bumper..no damage to anything else though thank god





and some more random pics tonight









so yeah, plan on putting the hitch on sunday..other than that just gotta find time to get down to IRO to get my rear shocks to put my back lift in..ill keep you posted

 

god dam your jeep is lookin good. Now your rear bumper matches mine..a buddy hit me as well haha

 

haha thanks man and yeah, ill find another bumper in due time..i was just glad that he didnt take out anything else.

 

i envy your snow lol, thats deep too if its up to the rims almost, im really hoping this winter will be bad, so far the set up is good, its already been in the high 30s for the last week or so, and its only december haha, so hopefully a repeat of last winter, would love that lol

 

Agreed and I need a parking lot like that, the pics look great and sorry about the bumper, so far the only drifting im getting is on the roads and thats not as much fun when theres traffic coming at you at 45mph lol But So far weve only had a few inches. I need a foot haha

 

looking great! I LOVE SNOW

 

thanks guys yeah its the biggest snow fall we have had so far this year..it was fun. just wish it didnt have to be on a night where i had to be up at 6 the next morning haha. bunch of friends went out later like we used to do back in high school but i had to hit the hay early haha.
