Welcome to our forum!

 

 

Welcome brother lol nice clean xj

 

Today put new brake shoes on the rear and installed new emergency break lines



And started moving everything out of the way for my new exhaust manifold







Oh and my 1.5" wheel spacers came in

 

What type of speakers do you guys run. My stock speakers blew out. And what size are they

 

Do you have a sound bar? Speakers are 5.25" however I have a sound bar which had the 5.25 in it but I install Polk 6.5" in the sound bar and same Polk in the front doors but they were 5.25. The 6.5 fit with no mods needed

 

Took her out for a short little ride in the woods last night. Kept it in 2wd and played in some mud holes. It really performed how i wanted it to it was my first time out since i got this jeep. Didnt even get stuck once.gotta love XJs

 

I tried to get those rims on my jeep with 33x12.5r15s but they hit on the leaf springs. Look great on your jeep though!

 

Yea i only got 32x11.5s but thanks

 

Does anyone know the reason my heater isnt heating up it just shoots out cold. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks

 

Check coolant level and make sure you have a thermostat installed and that it's not stuck open.

 

Question. Im thinking of going to a five and half inch lift. If i just bought leafs,new coils,and a t case drop kit would that be all thats needed. And shocks of course. What else would i need?

 

Your going to need an sye and rear drive shaft with that much lift, a track bar, and a drop pitman arm. I would recommend atleast control arm drop brackets if not long arms. A rear shim kit wouldnt hurt either. Did you get just a 5in leaf pack or a leaf and longer shackel?

 

Went out for some mudding today
