Just got back into the states

I think this week is gonna be a hectic one as i gotta get my jeep ready for the texas spur jamboree up in llano, tx. but i should definitely fee up some here in the next coming weeks. i'd def. like to get together & talk jeep at your hubby's shop, n see what kinda tools he has!

 

Fantastic, looking forward to it.

 

The XJ is looking better and better. Nice work. What size tires were those, 32's 11.5 or 12.5? Is it hitting on just one side or both. Also is the coil hitting the sway bar.

On a side note.... Whats Up Chex_Mex!

 

The tires are 26575/16 We fixed the rubbing of the sway bar by adding 1.5" wheel spacers. That caused the tires to rub the wheel well, we had to trim the inside lower wheel wells. Now it looks and runs great.

 

Hey the Black, where ya been?

 

Ok those are almost 32"s (31.6 X 10.4) still a big tire though. In the future if you up the tire size and lift you will want adjustable lower control arms. They will help push the axle forward to keep the tires from rubbing the inside lower wheel wells. Changing one or two things on an XJ seems to always effect 4 or 5 others. Glad its running good now.

 

Everywhere but fun. Lol. Jeeps been running pretty good. Just trying to chase down a vacuum leak. Hey send me some info on this llano meet you mentioned on my profile page, thanks.

 

Nice build!!! I think I fell in love with ur midnight blue...

 

Thanks Just_Jeepin. That blue grew on me and now I love it, I stare at it all day like a teenager in love.

 

Very nice find! Paint looks great still and I really like the blue.

 

Thank you NeilVMax, I'm pretty proud of it and thrilled you like it too. Smiles ?

 

I need pics of that blue with some dirt on it!!!!!

 

WHY would you ever paint those bumper caps. That black can be dyed back so easily its not even funny. THEN when you scratch or flex it on something, it won't crack. It's too late now I guess.

 

I totally agree, it needs to find some mud and soon.

 

I don't know anything about a dye, never heard of it. Too bad we didn't have a chance to talk beforehand, huh? Well, it's just a temporary fix anyway until my hubby can fab up some mean looking custom metal bumpers for me.
