No i used the stock 96- brackets and just drilled new holes in the bottom of the 97+ to avoid using the cheap plastic bracket....

tires suck to buy i hated handing over 900 to discount for my bfg's but i love em so i guess its all good

you need bigger meats for sure tho man but your jeep looks awesome doorless in the stahman farms did you grab any pecans for a snack?? i used to ride at a motocross practice track right behind some of those trees
we went on like a trail ride thru the trees on our bikes and found a big old barn and when i got off my bike to go take a look inside a Huge great horned owl flew out and scared the shiiiiiz out of me!
gotta miss my home town i need to go visit

it is the $1100 price tag on the tires I want holding me back right now haha.

and that was the orchard off of snow rd and Mesilla valley Dam rd.


today/last night the jeep got air pressure put to 45, all zerks greased, new diff oil front and rear, new engine oil/filter, spark plugs, air filter and a full tank of premium gas($3.19/gal) and a sea foam treatment. Plus I pulled the front driveshaft to see about the fuel economy myth.

I am going home

1100!!! my 900 aint bad then but then for 33 and 36s its a good price

im about to do a seafoam and full tank of gas on mine today i changed the oil about 1500 miles ago and the boxes have all been done within 6 months including the tcase and tranny

that seafoam stuff is it easy to do iv never tried it or anything but my brother showed me a youtube video of it on a nice black2door xj and it smoked like crazy and he wants to do it with me and rig it so we can drive down the road snoking everyone out. is that possible?
