The jeep was always a CA vehicle so it is rustless and I try to keep it clean, but it is NOT a mall crawler. I go out weekly to nearby trails and its got its fair share of mud stuck to the undercarriage. Thanks for looking, feel free to ask question and leave comments I'd like to hear your opinions. I am putting together the hundreds of photos for you all to see.

It has the black 17x9 rims on it now, the rubicons are gone as of last week.

 

Welcome. Word of advice, especially on 5 inches of lift, get rid of that transfer case drop and install a sye. You will save yourself a lot of headache in the long run. Ask me how I know

 

According to his list, he's got both?
Pics man! We need pics!

 

Sorry I missed the sye. But yes we do need pics

 

Welcome to CF!

 

I am having trouble posting pics, any advice? and in the meantime, the link at the bottom of the first post is full of pics. Keep in mind its on the 35s now, not the rubi rims! Thanks all!

 

Got it now!















Also, a quick Photoshop how it'll be with the fenders:

 

Welcome from England.

 

Anyone got any tips regarding installation of a new crank pulley? My stock ones' ruber finally rotted away and it throws the belt everytime I start it up. New one is in the mail.

 

Welcome

 

Considering I am a student and going to college next spring. I want to hear if you guys think I should keep this XJ or potentially sell it and build an MJ I have sitting around. And if I was to sell it what would you guys think is a fair price considering the parts list? Any input is appreciated. Not posting in classifieds cause its not officially for sale.

 

 

 

So, I finally got my Mcneil Racing fenders and installed them. They look great, function great, install wasnt super smooth and neither was the customer service. But overall happy with the end product. Would recommend the physical product, not the company. But check it out! ask any questions as well.
















Keep in mind those are 35x13.5 i am tucking. Also extended brake lines going in this next week hopefully. Just waiting on postal.

 

This is awesome!
