I never had the factory skid plate, so I have no plans haha. Not that many rocks around here so I am not really worried about it.

 

i think we have the same front bumper, your the only other xj ive seen with it!

 

It's just the factory bumper with the end caps off, I have been thinking about cutting it down alittle bit though.

 

very nice looking xj. im really liking the stance

 

Thanks! I really like it as well, no reason for me to go higher unless I step up to 35s. At the moment I am free from any rubbing issues.

 

[QUOTE=SteelBlue99;670033]Lookin good! Yea, i did the hack and tap SYE from IRO, it was pretty simple. Although i did have to cut the yoke a little bit, but no biggie.

00XJinPA- you have the IRO long arm kit also, right?

What do you guys with the IRO LA kit plan on doing for a transfer case skid plate? I still have my factory one, just don't know what to do with it.[/Q

Ya i just did the same upgrade kit he just did. I don't know what i am going to do about a skid plate. I was thinking about fab. one up similar to the rough country one that hangs off the back of there crossmember. It will be bit till i get around to it tho.

 

Same here, thinking of maybe building something off of the cross member. I have other places that need protection first though.

Current list of things for this project.

Extended brake lines.
Longer front shocks.
Front recovery point, tow hook kit but not sure which brand
Rear Aussie locker
Rocker protection
Differential covers

 

Minus the first two (because they're already done) that's exactly how my list goes too. Except, throw in a rear disc conversion in there somewhere.

 

Little project today, the rear tire carrier was squeaking a little bit so I took it apart and tightened everything up. Decided to use a rubber coated hitch pin this time and also re mounted my license plate so no more zip ties

 

Went out to the farm and played around a little bit.

Gassing up with my friends SAS'd 4runner









Hard to see here but the front tire was dropped down and hanging above the ground spinning. Stupid shocks/brake lines limiting me!



Wish this one would have came out better but the sun and my friend's finger got in the way, it is crazy how stable the Jeep feels now compared to the short arms.

 

Went to Tuttle Creek ORV Park today, here are some pictures.

Completely flexed out, brake line was as tight as a guitar string haha.









Wish this picture wasn't so over exposed....



I have some more on the actual trails but will have to post them later.

 

Had a weird clunk in the front end after the wheeling trip yesterday, turned out it was my lower trac bar bolt was loose along with the tie rod end coming off of the pitman arm...somehow the cotter pin came out and allowed the castle nut to start backing off. Kind of scary to think about loosing your steering! Either way both issues have been fixed and no more noise!

 

Hey C.J. i put my iron rock sticker in the same spot as you did in the back driver window! LOL I have my longer brake lines but couldn't put them on since they didn't come with any hardware!

 

Damn that sucks about the hardware, what are you missing?
