After a couple years of putting it off, I finally pulled the dash and replaced the heater core. Not fun, took a long time. After reassembly my airbag light turned on

Only other update is that I got another pair of chains. Just waiting for snow now.

 

Hey man! Nice build! I have a very similar white XJ on a 3" lift and I was just wondering how much backspacing you had on the wheels for the 33s...Do they stick out any past the Napier flares? I'm looking into running 33s and Napier flares on my 3" lift, but laws here say your tires can't stick out past the flares...Also, if you have any head-on or back-on pics of how much the tires stick out (like you had a head-on pic of the 31s), that'd be awesome! Keep it up!

 

The 33s are long gone, but I think the bs was 3.5, but the rims were only 7 inches wide
. They rubbed my lcas on full turn sometimes, and they didn't stick out as far as my 31s. U could easily run 33s with Napier on 3" of lift.

 

Finally some snow wheeling. About 2 feet of snow and used all 4 chains

 

 

after this week the jeep will no longer be the daily driver. Time for some fun now

 

Perfect

 

Thats a cool picture!

 

Awesome build my man!

Just read through all 19 pages. The Jeep looks great!


Sub'd for sure on this one!

 

Thanks guys.
The jeep is now becoming the toy which is really exciting. I don't have many plans for mods now, the money is going to buy the car and prepare for college. After this summer the jeep will be staying at home while I leave the area, but I'm keeping it.

I'm definitely pulling the rear away bar now though, and I would like an aftermarket bumper so I can move the hitch up.

 

Pulled the rear sway bar which eliminated much of the noise while going over bumps. Parents said I can order the jcr diy rear bumper for graduation.

 

Darn all terrains

 

A/Ts are sorta loaded up there but that is a nice looking XJ!

 

Yea mud terrains are all this Jeep needs to be a monster in the small trails around me. Maybe next summer. Thanks

 

Diy rear bumper on the way! The curt trailer hitch I have on the jeep will be for sale /trade soon.
