Well, I finally got a proper full size spare! I'm having it mounted on my spare rim tomorrow. It's a 31x10.5r15 Nankang Mudstar, I know, it's a cheap tire, but it's only there for emergencies. Here's some pics!
Well, got my JKS mini skids and OME trim spacers installed today. I also had my idle pulley and serpentine belt replaced, because the old pulley was slightly off and making a squeal. I also painted the mini skids black after they were welded on, just didn't get a pic of that.
I have a TC skid plate, and a front skid plate coming in soon as well, so those will get installed in the next month. After that I'd like to get a gas tank skid, and then I'm going to start saving up for a set of 5 33x12.5r15 Pro Comp Xtreme MT's on 15x8 Pro Comp rock crawlers with 3.75 BS. I measured my wheels today and found out they are 4.5 BS, so those won't work with the 33's. Once I get the 33's, I'll cut and fold the fenders, and throw them on.
Get that thing to March Madness in Potosi next weekend man! Even if you step up to moderate trails there, most have a way to bow out if you'd rather not tackle an obstacle.
We'll have our XJ and JKU there. Our friends are bringing there JK, and I think Tony is gonna try to make it as well. Should be a huge turnout.

Very cool. I'm definitely planning on going. That's awesome you got a JKU man! I can't wait to check it out.
I'm going to get an alignment this week, and then the Jeep will be completely ready for wheeling on the 28th. I can't wait, the trails are calling my name.
So, I wanted to list all the mods on my XJ for my own reference so far. Here it goes:
Lift
3.5 inch Rusty's advanced lift with upper and lower control arms, full leafs and coils
RE1600 adjustable track bar, RE steering stabilizer
JKS swaybar discos
DPG swaybar disco retainers
Satinless steel, braided, extended brake lines front and rear
RE .75 inch coil spacers
OME 10mm coil trim spacers
ZJ tie rod
IRO HD coil spring retainers
IRO .75 inch lift shackles
IRO HD U-bolt plates and U-bolts
Rusty's Hydro shocks with red shock boots
Daystar extended front bumpstops
Etc.
IRO HD steering gearbox spacer
Solid diff cover for the rear axle
JKS control arm skid plates
K&N air filter
Aussie Locker in the front axle
Powertrax no slip locker in the rear axle
Napier hood vents
The Jeep came with the tires it has on it now, and the nerf bars. It also had a hack and tap SYE and a ZJ driveshaft. I plan on replacing the nerf bars with some Nates 4x4 rocker guards with tube steps in the future. This list does not include any repairs that have been done to the Jeep, only mods done under my ownership.
