They were a nice find and look great. I have been checking craigs list periodically for a set of 31s and some kind of safari rack.

right now i have the rugged ridge setup. for off road it is possible it is a good strong setup. but for the street it sucks. the way it is made it has too much play for highway use. rgged ridge does not even list it on their website any more. im thinking of pulling it out and replacing it with this setup

One of the best looking XJ's I've seen! Something about the stock bumpers is very appealing. Certainly not from a performance perspective, but I like the idea of retaining the stock looks. The black end caps look awesome. I would love to see some interior shots! If the interior is half as nice as the exterior I'm sure it is still unbelieveable.
