That was her first time in the driver seat, We went wheeling at another public OHV area yesterday, An she did a little more wheeling here's some pics from here at the playground area. I have a feeling I will have to get a rig of my own ........

Man i wished i had some trails like that around here ... beautiful country ! Jeeps lookin great keep it up..... are you planning on getting front tow hooks of some kind ? i idnt c any. Maybe i just cant see them

Tom95YJ

Thanks The XJ still has the lift on it from the Previous owner next month I will be installing my sliders and RE lift with some Procomp Series 152 Streetlock wheels, I do not currently have any tow hooks up front. I am debating on IRO towhooks for now or spending a money on a Rigid front bumper to match the sliders

Cool ! should look sweet... i am in the process of installing my sliders right now

*Update*

I just spoke to Terry @ Rigid My sliders are almost finished, He has to clean up the welds and treat the metal with a zinc coating. I'll be picking them up on Saturday after work .

I will also be talking to him about a front bumper when I pick up the sliders.

I picked up my sliders today, Now one day next week most likely on Wednesday I will get them coated with Napa #4004 stone guard then have them installed when I get the new lift installed in sometime towards the end of February !


The pic is the bottom of the sliders I will get more pics when I go to paint them

Thanks, I'm anxious to get off work and really check out the sliders I just loaded them in the Jeep and went.

Tom95YJ

Here are some more pics of the sliders, I am going to paint them later today !

I had painted the sliders today, I couldn't wait until Wednesday to paint them, However I forgot to paint the pinch seam braces so I will paint them on Wednesday !

They are Textured, I used Napa #4004 stone guard, It hold up a bunch better than paint and does not chip !

I hope you have about 100 coats on those with the Utah winters.....
I painted mine in oct for moab and they are already rusted to hell.
Jeep is looking great by the way keep up the work!

Here are todays new additions to my part collection. So now my lift is complete. Sometime over next few weeks I will have the Lift, Rock Sliders and Wheels installed. Then Phase 1 of my Build will be complete. I have to save for phase 2 now (Bumpers/ TNT Longarm Upgrade/ Hi-Steer)
