Thats a pretty rig looks nice but in your first post you mention you were looking for a trail rig to go hunting? Not to be a douche but for 75 you could have snatched up something with armor and the whole 9.

I might be a sucker but if I was in need of a Jeep and had 7500 to spend I would by it too. So you had to do some work to it, thats ok especially with 96k. There is not always a great deal around when you need one. I had about 3 days to buy my Jeep so at that moment that was the best I found.

XJ's come and go around here. Not alot to choose from. I needed a hunting rig to chase ducks, armor didn't matter at that time. Now I've got a elk hunt planned this Oct and will def need bumpers and a winch.

The all white does look bada**, if my xj was a newer model that would be my choice of color. Some black soft 8's would look sick on your rig op.

How wide are your soft 8's and tires? Im getting new 33 tires and wheels. I always go with 15 wheels but I might just go with 17's that's a good looking combo.

They don't make 17's in the correct off set except walker evans so you will have to use a spacer accordingly to get the recommended off set I got off this site (I can't remember what it was off the top of my head). They are 10" wide wheels on 285/70R17 tires. I am using rugged ridge spacers.

I am thinking about running a straight 33x12.5 tire in the near future. I have treadwrights on right now and I'm not very happy with them.

Yeah I think soft 8 17's go 9 inches wide. I figured you had spacers in there those things stick out nicely.

I bought my 8's from summit. I think they were 5x5.5 lugs and the rugged ridge to adapt. I searched around here for a long time till I found the right look. There once was a build of a red xj that got hit and he then put all the parts on his new silver XJ. His offset is what I went with.

So yeah..9" wheel. Pretty sure I got these

And a 1.25 spacer from rugged ridge. So 3.75 would be my total offset.
