Today I had put the new header panel on the XJ, I had also Installed the Spartan Locker
Keep Watching This Thread, On Wednesday the JCR Gas tank Skid gets installed. Towards the End of the month I should have my new lift on along with my Rigid fab FbW2 winch bumper w/ Dirt Bound Off road Extreme Grill hoop and XRC8 Comp winch !

No difference at all other than ratcheting when pulling into a parking spot and when on gas you hear a little tire scrubbing when making tight turns. Nothing out of the Normal for a rear locker. This is the 3rd rig I've had with atleast 1 locker

I took a pic of the finish on the header/ passenger fender after they were painted, sanded, and compounded , I still need to hit them with my buffer I plan to get that done on Wed.
I also got my JCR Tank Skid today, It's damn nice an the welds are beautiful !
I may put it on today but it will def. be on by Wed.

Thanks, I hope to have the lift on by the end of the month, I have to wait for my buddy to get back from vacation that way we can use the lifts where we work instead of his driveway .
I know within 3 days of getting the bumper it will be installed also Just a couple more weeks for that

Did a little wheeling this weekend . Tested the locker and gastank skid which worked extremely well.
I had also managed to Prove to someone on JeepForum that told me I could not make it where I did unless I had 5.5 inches or more of lift and 35's on my Jeep and body damage. Well they will be eating crow I made it with 3" lift and 31's and had zero damage, I guess he is a web wheeler that does not know anything :laugh:
