heres a before and after the lift for those who are lookin into this lift







the lift was fairly simple i broke no bolts doing it witch seemed to be a big occurance on this forum, she is a 1996 jeep xj sport 180,000 on the clock and runs like a champ. i picked her up from some dish guy using it as a highway vehicle, but as soon as i got her home she blew luckily it was at my home witch has all the nessasary tools needed to fix it, it was just a couple houses and the water pump thankfully but after that she runs perfect!!!

Wheelie? Pics? Looking good. Why did you switch from those 5-spokes in the before lift pic?

the monster symbol was amazing easy and cool basiclly got a peice of plexi glasss cut it to the shape of the hole but a little bigger then cut a secound peice of black plastic from a game case haha and placed it on the back after my dad used a dremel tool and free hand cut the monster symbol and turned out sick then after that cut a peice of thin green plastic (another game case) behind it all and tada there you go but i wanted a metallic feel so we added 6 screws to hold them all together WARNING be very slow when drilling the holes to fast aqnd u will crack the plastic FYI lol i even drilled two holes for the swithes for my underglow and back lights and there you go hope urs goes well
