this is before he was lifted ("HE" being PATRICK, my cherokee)



this is him now!!!




even tho he is only 2wd he is still a good mudding truck

 

Here's mine

 

when i got it


now

 

Day one and now:

 

Those chopped doors are awesome.

 

Stock a few weeks after I got it. Went down to the river. It started raining. I didnt make it out in time.


No lift. Cut and tuck. 33's


Lifted 3.5" with 33's and Aussie up front.


Comp cut, Clayton Long Arms, Logans winch bumper, XRC8, Boat sides, Rear bumper, gas tank raise, tubbed rear wheel wells

 

Don't take this the wrong way. I'm not dumping on your xj but was all that trimming in the rear really necessary

 

i guess he figures if he goes mudding it wont get stuck up in there anymore

 

Its in preparation for linking and stretching the rear.
Cutting the rear also helps with clearance since its only at 3".
Also, I replaced all the thin factory sheet from the back seat back with 12 Ga sheet and tubbed the rear end for more clearance and strength.

So in short, yes.

You can see how close it is with 33's right now. I want to run 40s within two years. Plenty of room now.







I avoid mud 95% of the time.

 

jmm, that's so clean! Nice job.

 

the day I bought it


3" and a bunch of other stuff later...

 

Thanks

 

Its not finished by any means, but it went from this


To this so far




Lots of work left but so far so good!

 

my little 95 5speed with 75474 original mileage!!

 

The first one is the day I bought it. The second one is a few weeks ago. Not done by any means but still a heck of a lot better than when I got it! Left to do: rock sliders, ARB diff covers, tint, front and rear bumbers w/winch, bedliner the rockers, switch over to my Yakima Rack, clear light covers for the front(those will be here Tuesday), Cragar V5 rims.
