great build so far! i just want to know more about the wheels. i know they are off of a cj, but what is the brand, backspace, and width of those. Also i know you have adapters, so how thick are they? Are they thicker in the rear cause of the 8.8? I bought an 8.8 last week (4.10 ls) to go in my rig thats why i'm curious about all these numbers. I like how your rig sits with the 35's and those rims are killer!

how about an update since i have been neglecting this thread?
bumper finished,
poser shot
i threw some shorter shocks up front to try to control some of the onloading the front end is doint. (the 3 link may be coming VERY soon). and did some flexing for new bumpstops.
Welded in my 2x6 sliders, the bottom is supported with a couple of tubular braces tieing it into the frame rails. should work fine until i tie it into the cage
tested the sliders and winch out a few times a couple weekends ago.
only have a couple pictures of the jeep from that day.
but this one slid me sideways into the slider HARD
ended up blowing out my radiator and busting ANOTHER tail light. tail light boxes are now added to the list.
and another poser shot with a couple other XJ's at the shop.
and today i tossed a D35 locker into my D30 and threw in some axle shafts from a larger u-joint D30
and.....a new toy....cage is getting closer.
