SO heres the story.... Sold my 11 sec eagle talon to buy a 300 dollar 1999 jeep cherokee with 35,000 original miles. bought it from the city of detroit so i knnew it needed a little work... needless to say i was excited on the way home from the auction house... it was storming and a pos dakota spun right in to my front end !:oops:causing this...

a coat of paint would prolly look nice as well... shes pretty ugl right now... this is going to be an adventure.. as i had my last lift kit on my ranger installed .. i am going to try this one myself

Well when i get my first navy pay check i'm buying a Rubicon express 4.5" lift 1.5"shackles rear and whatever spacer i'll need after leveling it out with the winch and bumper and etc on it. and BFG makes great tires no matter what i'm either getting the 33" Krawlers or KM2 Mud Terrains..

BFG doesn't make a 33" krawler to my knowledge. The smallest they make is 35x12.5
Looks sweet man! Sucks about the dakota hitting you, it looks like you fixed everything though! 11 second talon? Do you have any videos? Post up some pics of you putting the lift on.
