Ok, don't have the stock photos, but here it is after the 4.5 RE Lift, and a custom made rack.

After I find the cable to the cam I will add new pics after the front and rear bumpers, and flares have been added.

If I ever get this power issue fixed I will have to come down your way for some wheelin'. My wifes dad lives in Beaumont, so I could make a vacation out of it.
If you call staying with the in-laws a vacation

Im always open to expaning the wheelin area.

Tried what bluexj recomended, helped alot but still don't get the correct readings. He is stumped. Has enough power to get on the freeway.

so here are the newest pics. Added the bumpers, and Bushwaker flares. Looks funny with the small tires. New rims and tires soon.



Front bumper is 3/16" plate reinforced with tube and angle steel.






Rear bumper is 1/4" thick 4" tube steel. The endcaps are 18g steel to make it look pretty. Back up lights are 55 watt driving lights.

Ah yes, the infamous TPS.
Blue gave me some advice, and I took it. The Jeep does better, but it still isn't totally right. My buddy has a "donor" xj, and I am going to take the Transmission control unit out of it and see if maybe that is it.

Well if it doesn't, not too worried.
Wife and I talked and we are more then likely giving it to the oldest for his 16th. By then I will have a new project complete.
All that I will have to worry about is the youngest.....he wants a CJ.

The Custom Roof Racks looks great and fits well on your ride...
You got a sweet ride after those mods you made..
