Spare tire mounted on the roof. When you need it is a pita to get a 100+ lbs tire and wheel down from your roof

I'm actually digging the tb spacer. It starts to whistle at 2300- 2500 rpm which I like since I drive slow it lets me know where I'm at without looking at the rpms.

I know sounds dumb, but I dig it.

Performance chips in an OBD I XJ, which has the computing capability of an old Gameboy. Really? Can you say "Pointless"?

*17s if your running over a 37in tire you need a 17in wheel to clear the brakes you need to stop them. When Krawkers, Creepys and other comp tires come in 17s i think they are just fine any thing beyond that on a off road rig is agreed point less
