5.5"s on 33s with 200k. I drive it every day and just a few months ago road tripped it from Minnesota to Florida for school. Fuel pump gave me some problems but other than that did fine.

Lol, started this thread two XJs ago, so current daily driver...

'99 4X4 4.0/auto
175K-ish miles
3.5" lift
Wheelwells trimmed out
OrFab bumper
Trucklites
Soft-8s w/ 31s
Rusty's 1/4 armor

Was a bit over the top when I got her, so I scaled her back on the tires, and after a LOT of careful trimming and shaping, molded factory flares onto her.

Day1


As she sits now



Replaced all front end steering and suspension right of the bat, and have made various repairs/improvements along the way. But for an old jeep that consistently sees 350-500mi a week, she's unbelievably well behaved.

Love my golden badger.

They are awesome. Tons of Wheel room compared to my last fenders, way beefier. I took a few extra steps installing them to get as much room as possible and bought black bolt to make them look better.

Rugged Ridge pocket flares. I bought them because they where inexpensive but they where not for me.
