The Nameless One (Pic Heavy)

Hey guys and gals. I'm doing a daily driver for now. Nothing special but I love it just the same. This is my second XJ. I had a 91 limited previously and now a 98 sport. I'm going with at least a 4.5" lift at a later date but I started with a cheap 3.5". I've done all the work so far, thanks to the help from this forum. It's been a great learning experience. I know I've got squat compared to a lot of you but here's some pics from the start to present day. Enjoy.
The day I drove it home. Attachment 351300 Out on the Black River after a rim swap and anew transfer case. New drive shaft and windshield too. Attachment 351301 Out on the property. 3.5" lift installed! Attachment 351302 Removed bumper covers. Attachment 351303 Found this. Attachment 351304 Chopped and bed linered it. Attachment 351305 WOOHOO! SNOW! Attachment 351306 New wheels. 17's. Picked up some headlights and used tires. 265/70R17 Attachment 351307 New bumpers! Attachment 351308 Out having fun. Attachment 351309 Attachment 351310 New Lenses. Attachment 351311 Attachment 351312 Well, that's it for now. Hope you enjoyed it. Feel free to bash. :D More to come. |
Nice looking xj good luck with your build

Did you just slice that whole back off? I believe there's a special way you're supposed to do that to retain its strength.

Those headlights are awful. Love the look. Upgraded my h4 bulbs and wiring harness while installing those. I went for a 4 hour drive and had to drive home with my fog lights. Worthless but pretty

Looks good! Chili Pepper Pearl? My TJ is the same color :thumbup:

Roblaza, I pretty much just cut and ground 2" from that bottom crease then fabbed up a piece of metal to fit the hole with an inch or so extra on the sides so I could rivet it in. Made it out of cardboard first so I could get the right shape of coarse. I wanna get it all welded up but it works for now.

Jmb94, It's crazy how big that river is. I went there when I lived in MO, now I live in AR and it's right down the road. |

Haha, I've been driving with my foglights for a couple weeks now. They do suck, you get what you pay for I guess. I'm waiting to buy some good ones still. |
Well, pullin the trigger on a 4.5" RC lift, SYE and all this week. So exited. Also getting some real tires. Really hard decision between KM2's and TSL's. Really not sure. This thing will go out in the woods, on black river and any trails I can find out here, but a little highway too. Any suggestions?
