9 Attachment(s)
SO, bought my xj for $1600 from a guy in CT. It was in AWESOME condition, 117k and on top of everything, was a 5 SPEED STANDARD with a Hurst shifter. :2guns:
it was a great deal for just that, BUT it also came with a 4.5" lift kit :) The lift kit consisted of rusty's 4.5" full leafs, RE 4.5" coils, RE adjustable trackbar, UCA's and LCA's. I ended up getting a dodge dakota rear brake hose and yj fronts here's a pic of when i picked her up <3 Attachment 387283 First things first, i patched the floors and replaced the exhaust (got a dynomax catback exhaust for 25 bucks after rebate :) ) Attachment 387284 next, i bought some BEAT 33's for 100 bucks and a 9 ft cb antenna... figured why not right? lol Attachment 387285 Next, i found a beefy steel bumper for 40$ on Craigslist... really pumped on this find its a hellof a deal Attachment 387286 After that, it was time for the lift install: out with the old: Attachment 387287 Attachment 387288 In with the new: Attachment 387289 ^^ drove it home from my familys garage like this LOL Attachment 387290 Attachment 387291 |
Then i took her out on her maiden voyage, and a very large need for a tcase drop lol
http://a8.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphot...54661198_n.jpg the next step was to mount the ****ty tires onto the rims i got for 40 bucks and toss em on http://a1.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphot...72410410_n.jpg After too much rubbing, i trimmed my fenders: http://a5.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphot...93323357_n.jpg http://a2.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphot...26599942_n.jpg LOVE FENDERLESS hahaha http://a1.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphot...27639234_n.jpg After that, i taught myself how to weld and made a tire carrier for my hitch... didnt last long tho cuz my hitch was too rotted through to be considered safe :( http://a6.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphot...33516121_n.jpg |

Friggin awesome dude! 2 doors FTW!

thanks mann, yeah i love my 2door! :thumbup:
found this pic.. live how big my girlys lookin parkin at wally world <3 http://a5.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphot...03792734_n.jpg anyway... So i dd'd my jeep for a while with no issues, pretty much average about 15ish mpg.... def need to regear, my 3.07's suckk but either way, next, i took another shot at fabrication- this time, with a roof rack. I made it out of EMT conduit and it cost me 37 dollars total.... https://p.twimg.com/Ae5co3TCIAA902-.jpg:large heres a pic of the gutter mounts... https://p.twimg.com/Ae5cb9PCQAAS6cb.jpg:large after that, i waited a little for Xmas to come and i ended up getting five 55W Harbor Freight off-road lights.. i faced em so that they are ... panoramic i guess u could say... they light up the trail so much, you cant tell whether or not my headlights are on https://p.twimg.com/AhjVPTCCIAIIeUY.jpg:large http://a3.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphot...78476700_n.jpg I love everything about these lights, but i need to fix the wiring, i don't have a relay runnin to em so im blowin rocker switches left and right. after that, i wheeled quite a bit and cleared tons of trails over on the mountain by my house http://a2.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphot...55865293_n.jpg http://a2.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphot...63239253_n.jpg http://a7.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphot...46570281_n.jpg http://a2.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphot...11584087_n.jpg AND NOW after a a far needed couple of months... i got new tires :) all together it was $1049.00 with an alignment, balance, etc. at Town Fair Tire. went with the Cooper STT's 33x12.5's I originally was lookin at Toyo open country's, But these tires seemed pretty much the same, but with more sidewall ply and a little softer (i like that their siped and hard ,but still not too hard cause i drive to ski mmountains alot and during snowstorms :sweatdrop: ) I always swore i would never buy brand new tires but i really needed em and im glad i got em.... http://a6.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphot...42331802_n.jpg You gotta love when the guy at the tire shop comes to the waiting room and he goes... whoever has the jeep with big *** tires... its ready :grin: http://a7.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphot...67902310_n.jpg I love how they look, and for a mud tire, i think they're mad quiet. although clayton3854 thinks differently due to upgrade move from at's... I wheeled em today and they had no problem gripping, i couldn't be happier with them (although i realized I hate crossing mud pits that are iced over) So now I am pretty much caught up with where I am at now... In the near future, expect to see a cowl intake, a Durango alternator upgrade.... (30$ at the local JY) https://p.twimg.com/Aib1yXXCQAAEtc0.jpg:large TJ flares im gettin from my buddy for 40$ and some more fender trimming/bedlining lower door/rocker area.:arabia: I'll also be putting in some reverse spotlights soon (already have the lights, just not the time or patience) and if this friend of mine pulls through.. ill be getting a swing out tire carrier bumper for 150.... KEEPIN MY FINGERS CROSSED :001_unsure: |
also, forgot to add these wheelin pics from a small old washed oout road in blandford mass, fun for a quick little trip
http://a8.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphot...49836325_n.jpg http://a2.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphot...28066953_n.jpg http://a7.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphot...13149483_n.jpg Pretty happy with my flex... http://a1.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphot...15581472_n.jpg Also, thought this was kinda funny... i walked outside after a day of working at dicks and.... yeahh... lolhttp://a6.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphot...67605110_n.jpg |
OYEAH and i forgot to mention.. my parents ordered me these rims for christmas.. pretty excited... i like that the valve stem points towards the hub and not outward, never knew of anyone runnin them tho.... i guess im the guinnea pig!
