thanks bro! your gonna love the light brackets man and you can barely even see the lights from in the cab. yea thats what tim was saying on there group page, also said rob doesnt beleive in long arms? said thats why you got the cross member. hahaha

so since the anti-rattle wedge was being camera shy before i had Mark email me a pic of the wedge from another Tire carrier he made for another customer.


using an 3/8th allen wrench you tighten it to the inside of your hitch preventing any wobbling or rettling from the tire carrier, your supposed to use one of the angled ones and go through the access hole that the carter pin goes through, i found that incredibly difficult so i took my entire arm off accessing another hole n used a straight allen wrench and tightened it to a statisfactory amount.

Looks good Ethan!

I did'nt notice the date on that picture when sent, dang ebay camera......
The wedge is actually tightened thru the access hole in the rear using a 3/8" allen wrench on an extention.......I think you'll find as others have, it works great!

Keep up the build!!

Thanks Mark!! you make a really great product, jeeps far from done haha but time n money will determine when i finish it (stupid school)

did some wheeling today, got a few pics when we werent in motion. jeeps performing exactly how i want it too for what its at. cant wait to get everything else mounted and save for some gears n a rear locker. heres me flexin on a small rock


heres me n xjwheeler10 flexin on another small rock together


n finally just a cool pic from sitting inside the cab messing with dj's phone taking some pics in the negative effect.

after another day of wheeling today

I will be re-assesing my front end and seeing what i need to replace, tomorrow i will be ordering some parts from JCR for sure. after that well see what the jeep needs, stay tuned.

also here is a pic of everyone in attendance today from left to right: Timmy aka TJkiller, Rob aka Stealthcherokee, DJ aka XJwheeler10, Me aka clayton3854 and finally Steve aka Mcguyver_XJ

Looks great so far!

Once my front end is finished being replaced (u-joints, bearings, and all brake components) and I weld the rear end we should have a little meet up. Your crew and mine, 4 xjs 2 wranglers and 2 yotas would be a nice addition to your group.
