That looks fantastic. Are you positive that's only a 3 inch lift?
I thought the same thing!
Did you trim your fenders or anything? Those 33"s look great! I have 31's on 3" lift and i feel like 33"s would be stuffed!! I plan on going to 4 1/2" and doing 33"s when these tires wear out!
That was the day i installed my lift before i put the sliders on.
Here's a side by side. My jeep has the same lift in both pics. The jeep is a little higher with the new tires, but that's just because the tires are taller. The wheels and bushwackers made a huge difference. I also think the black sides make it look higher.

Nice! The jeep looks great man. It makes me want to go to 33's now! I plan on trimming my fender soon but not sure if i am going to go with new flares or just go flareless.
The jeep looks killer. I hope my lift looks that good when I'm done with it. Nice work on the Z, I hate imports... BUT... I can appreciate good work and attention to detail. I dig it.
Installed the Olympic roof rack today (the tape was just so I could label each bar to make it easier to install)
Also put on the tomken rear bumper and the Mangaflow exhaust! Here's a pic showing the rack, I plan on taking a video of the exhaust tomorrow for anyone interested.
The headliner material I bought just wasn't sticking. I used 3m Super 77 adhesive, I completely removed all the glue, and I was very generous in covering all the areas. I also made sure to follow the instructions, glue both sides and wait until it was tacky until I put it on but for some reason it just wasn't sticking. I think because I got an actual headliner fabric it wasn't working. I decided to scrap it and just bedlined the headliner!
Also the radio / odometer / lights weren't working and I checked the fuses. Sure enough one was blown so I picked a new one up and we're good as new.
The rear bumper I got came with end caps but I don't have the proper tool to cut them down since my bushwackers are getting in the way, so I'm going to see if I can take it to a shop to cut those for me.
Alright so it's been a while since I updated due to moving to LA and and not having any tools out here, but I picked up a cheap set of tools and we're back in business!
A lot of the exterior mods I wanted to do are already done, right now I'm finishing up the interior and am still going for the expedition style mods. Here's a pic of the wiring at the moment. Once that's done I've got a lot of cool stuff planned so keep a lookout.
I'm in Los Angeles too!! And I'm pretty sure I saw you drive by once and I tried to Jeep Creep you! Lol. I'm tryin to get a job just to do the basic repairs I need and then aftermarket stuff. I know a jeep mechanic in chatsworth if you ever need one. He's a jeep expert and owns an XJ himself that was modded more than anyone I've seen. As in cut it down the middle and made it 3 feet wider because he did it for fun and has a KK for rock climbing. PM me for his details if you want.
What a difference, you're making great progress. Got a question concerning this pic. Are your wheels slightly turned, or are you in need of some control arms? Those front tires look awful close to the rear of the flare.
What's up with the exhaust sound clip?
