Yea the DBR shop is amazing too. If we can't use it were either gonna use my uncles exhaust shop or the shop that I'm actually ordering the lift from. And if all else fails my step dads a drag racer and has a huge shop full of goodies. On three of my vehicles with heavily modified suspensions I learned quick that things break and nothing goes as planned haha its always good to have tools

My wheels came in today! And I'm very pleased with my choice. Quadratec was VERY good and easy to deal with and only took a few days to have my order at my door.

The gray ring is just a plastic cover to protect the lip during shipping

Yea that's one of the reason I like them so much

Ordered some fog lights last night, got a pair of kc Apollo 6" 55w fogs to mount on a detours bumper light bar whenever it comes in.

My kc Apollos came in a couple of days after I ordered them. I'm really happy about my choice. The black polymax housing that are used instead of steel are still really strong. As a matter of fact, I dropped one on the asphalt outside and not even a scratch. I'm very impressed. I'm ordering my detours light bar then ill have them mounted up.

We had a nice little Tennessee storm today, and afterwards I snapped a few pictures of the jeep on some of my land:

Detours light bar will be here soon! I think I've decided to go with the iron 4" lift instead of rc 4.5. I would also be getting the double shear track bar, steering stabilizer, jks discos, full leaf pack, hack n tap, bilstein shocks, and HD tie rod. What everyone's opinion of iro? Their customer service has been awesome compared to RC.

Also, what are some opinions of 31" tires on a 4" lift? Would they be better performing on road instead of the 32's? Or would the difference in handling or loss of power even be noticeable?

i hear ya im gonna go with 31's prolly just because of rubbing issues but you shouldnt have a problem with the stock gearing and they should fit nicely with a 4 in lift

Well its been a while since i updated. Unfortunately i traded my green mile xj for a wj. The wj was in great shape, already lifted, and low miles. I traded and redid the lift with long arms, added a few inches, trimmed some fenders a bit, added fuel revolver wheels and 35's and created a monster. Then i sold it for a profit, and IM BACK IN AN XJ. Im starting a new build thread for what i call "back in black"
