Well I took her though the mud for the first time. It wasn't nothing bad. If you go to my previous pics you will see the mud pit my buddy made, and I went through that after 2 days after rainning and slick 33's. Had fun and about 9 oclock that night after work I went to car wash. Cleaned everything up and then when to up to my buddys house well here's where it gets good. !!!!!!!!!!! Well I hung out up at his house for a hour or so untill it was about 12 at night then I said my good byes and I began goin to my jeep. Well I go to unlock my door and try to open it and it wouldn't open. So i tried my back hatch. I manage to unlock it but the damn thing still wouldn't open. So I finally tried my passenger door. The locks where so frozen I broke my key off and was stuck. So finally I decided to get hot water and pour over my back hatch to finally get it free up. I happen to look at my phone and it said 23 degrees. Great so now I get inside my jeep I manage to roll down the window but yet still could open my door. After about another hour of getting someone to drive me to get my spare key I got I had to craw through my window cuz my back hatch had frozen shut again so lessened learned I know now not to wash anything off during freezing temps.

Looks good man. How do you like that rough country lift? I have a budget boost right now on my rig but I am thinking about saving for a real lift kit.

Its not as bad as some people say. So far Im running short arms and its its not a Cadillac by no means but so far everything is holding up good and haven't had any problem or saggen yet. If I was to choose something different would be drop brackets for the short arm or go long arm but Im satisfied for what I do with it.

With a 6 inch short arm, I would get drop brackets simply for the benefits offroad. When going up a ledge on a short arm over 3 inches it will push the axle rearwards instead of up and over the obstacle. But since you are just doing mud, then the short arm will be fine. Love your XJ man.

Well I just recently bought my 93 Nissan with only 150,000 miles well its been alright truck so far. Well it came factory with a roll pan but the prevuios owner installed a bumper but had no lights on it. Well I been wanting a roll pan for a while so I went to the junk yard and found one a pulled one. Well while removing my factory bumper I also decided to remove my spare tire under neath. So after it was all said and done what a difference it made with wait. I probably removed almost 100lb and It makes a difference. Well I been trying to drift it here and there and I decided to kick it turning into this road. Well the *** in walked to the left and walked to the right but would straighten up. Well I locked the brakes down and creamed a mail box and off in the ditch I went. It was a 4x4 post and I tore it down with only a little bumper damage Well I looked around about to take off and seen a guy across the street walking down and looking. Well I thought hell Ima just man up and go talk to him. I pulled right of the wet ditch and pulled up in the mans drive way. He said you alright and I was like yea. Im just a little shaken up and he asked what happen. Well I said I came in a little to fast and didn't make it. He said well no one no longer lives at that house so just throw the mail box in the ditch. I said thank you and he said no problem it happens to the best of us. Theres a few race cars around here so don't sweat it. I said thanks again and got in my truck and drove off.

Theres some nice people out there in this world. Ima drive by tomorrow and take some pictures.

So NC got a little snow yesterday and couple people called me up so I said hey I'm down to go wheelin. Started out 3 of us. One cherokee in front locked rear with new 33's me with drag slick 33's and 6.5 lift and a Comanche lifted on 31's started going through some trails with a lot of ruts and came to a downward hill. First cherokee worked it and got down it now mine started going good then broke sideways and started sliding down the hill but luckily I got it straighten out. We'll after we come to the end we turn around and go back up the hills this is where it go fun. Bout flipped it in one spot literally only two tires were touching but I managed to get through it. Next we went down another trail meeting up with another cherokee lifted at least 8 inches so he began tagging along. We finally the finally spot where I really messed myself up. I ment to go around the hole but somehow fell in the grooves so I punched it. People came in there and dug it out with machines to stop people from going in there. We'll I got pulled out again and by this time I decide to head back out cuz at the bottom of the hill was a mud hole with a huge hill that you had to climb. But here's some pictures for ya . The one I'm the mud was lifted over 8 inches
