Would love to meet up have a beer and Jeep talk, its my favorite subject right now and a great addiction. We haven't been off roading since we sold our four wheelers. Used to go to General Sam's all the time and that's what started the mud addiction, I'm hooked.

 

definitely a good addiction to have! been to general sams once, it was fun cause it had just rained, so it was slick everywhere, i would definitely like to go again, but it's soo far. creekside edge is far too, but not as far as general sams, plus i think there are some great challenging obstacles there! oh yeah, i think the lime green accents under your midnight blue would look awesome

 

3" rough country lift is on, brush guard is on.

 

Added nerf bars yesterday

 

looks awesome definitely enough room to fit those tires now, great work!

 

You would think so, but now they are rubbing the sway bar, think we have to add spacers. What would you do to fix it? suggestions please.

 

few things could be done:
-possibly add a different length sway bar connection to place the top connection lower (so that it sits at rim level or inside rim level)
-remove sway bars..? dunno if you wanna do that
-different rims that are offset...costly
-spacers of course, still costly

I'd have to see it in person to come up with the best idea

 

Will check out those scenarios, thank you so much

 

no prob

 

Getting more done everyday. The roof rack is not complete, have more lights to add and need to make a top plate for the spare tire. I'm so in love with my XJ..,,,

 

Went to the junkyard and bought a new piece for the console, my old one had cracks in it. Here is a picture of my new one. Also bought an ash tray and rear seat belt, paid $35 for all three pieces.

 

looks great

how did you wire the lights on the roof (been thinkin of the best way to do this so that it looks clean when I disconnect the roof rack)

great job btw!

 

Hubby said he ran the wires inside the frame of the rack to the back. Popped out of the frame and into the gap between the body and rear hatch lift gate. Ran them along the channel across the top and popped them into the rubber boot for the factory electrical going into the lift gate. The wires come out inside the headliner and track those along back to the front where the switch is.

 

good to know! i'm thinking of a quick disconnect terminal going through the roof, but i'll have to check yours out in more detail before i decide anything, thanks for the info

 

Maybe you could swing by my hubby's shop next week so we can meet-up and talk Jeep stuff? I'll PM you
