what part of Cincy are you from? I am about 40 mins north of downtown.

 

cleves area... run around green township alot

 

installed my adjustable lower control arms today along with my extended shackles and still working on the rear shocks... stupid bolts

 

Man, that's a great looking Jeep! Would it be impolite to ask how much all of that cost you to add/fix? I can't even imagine the man-hours of labor that went into it, either, and it looks like you have a full shop to top it all off

 

What are your over all plans for it? I figure it will remain street able but what do you want to do in the long run?

 

i prolly put about a grand into it already... not bad for 3500$. ive put alot of time into it also. just want to make surre everything runs good.

 

finished the rear shocks yesterday. just welded the bar pin eliminators up and put in the shocks.
prolly top it off with motor and tranny mounts, intake, muffler, and 31" grabber at2's

 

streetable of course... winter vehicle, dog hauler, camping vehicle, 4 wheeling.....

 

Haven't seen an update in a while... How is goin?
I got my front end together, and am now working on my 8.8 install.

2. alignment
3. install windshield
4. rock rails
5. motor and tranny mounts

UPDATE 4/28/09:
installed new 31/1050/15 general grabber at2's and got an alignment.
these new tires are amazing, very nice ride, not to noisy, great traction, just need to test them on the trail
pics... 1st one is 30's with the BB, the rest are the new 31's
o yea, forgot to metion the stickers.... they are to keep peoples hands out of the xj while the dogs are in there... my brother made them and put them on while i was at work... mixed feelings about the one on the back, but its funny.

 

and just in case you are wondering about my dogs, they are half german sheperd half king sheperd. rocky is on the right (125lbs) adrianna on the left (115lbs)... they just turned 10 months on the 20th and are gaining weight and getting huge still... lol
brother and sister

 

more pics...

 

now get her dirty!!

 

Nice looking dogs there. I just lost my Rottie at 12 years. I've been thinking about a German Shepard for my next one.
I vote for a yes on the 2 side stickers, and a maybe on the big one in the back. It is funny as can be, but it kinda takes away from the whole package in my opinion.... run it for a while and when you get tired of it, peel it off.
