that's the way to do it man. Get it capable, then just upgrade stuff as your stock **** breaks....

Story of my life lol.

On another note wanna put in a durango box next weekend with me?

 

Um sure. I'm free Sunday. I work a 24 Saturday.

 

haha damn that sucks.

I'll probably be shooting for sat tho when my girlfriend is out of town and can't complain about me working on my jeep "all weekend again"

 

Lol. How is it all weekend if you sleep, women! Well if you don't get around to it sat gimme a hollar and I'll help ya sunday

 

The new wheels!

 

Paint those wheels black and tint the tail lights. Black on black makes for a good get away.

 

Ewww, get rid of the 4x4 stance. Get some spacers for the rims, Powdercoat them black. Then it would look good. FITMENT!

 

it's true...the body does look really high for a GTI.

you should get one of these, or at least make it look like it:

 

Yeah most Gti you see have cut coils or adjustable coil overs. I'm gonna get some coilovers that allow me to adjust from about 1.25 to 3 inches lower! Some guys actually roll Their fenders out to allow for wider tires and more traction for all those horses I think the color scheme is gonna be black with some subtle hints of orange in the wheels and grill

 

That will look good. you better not neglict your xj now.

 

hahah never will i neglect my xj. it will be given a heavy dose of mud and off roading..just what every xj wants!

First part found for the color scheme...

 

Just read your build start to finish...love it. Love the color and flat flares...( mine will be similar but sitting on a RE 3.5 with 32x11.50x15 ) Thanks for all the pics...it's giving me some direction. Best of luck with the rest of the build.

 

Hey man, no problem. i wished i had lots of pictures to compare to when i was trying to see what i wanted to do with my rig...so when i built mine i made sure to try and post up a good bit of them for everyone to get a good idea.

EDIT: I just saw your sig...334k!!!!!! Thats a testament there my friend. way to go

 

So it was nice, well 50* degreese, out today so i decide to paint and install the rear bumper... got it on and everything fits and looks good!! take a look









lil prop to jcr for the excellent work


I had a reciever from the factory on the jeep and HOLY FVCK was that thing hard to get off...serious PITA... the bolts wanted blood before they would come out, so i sacraficed some of my hand...OUCH
