I like the paint. That thing looks mint.

I like the ladder and the tire carrier and stuff.

Right now I got the 29 spline 8.25. I'll be getting a 44 probably when it breaks. It's only a matter of time haha.

That 8.25 ought to hold up ok.

I have some brand new superior alloys if you want them.

I would take you up on that offer but my jeep funds are a little low right now. I just got new tires and steering. If you still have them in a few months I'll take em

[Slade]

Double post...oh well.
So 4wheelparts is awesome. I ordered my tires and rims on Monday afternoon and received them today. They are currently sitting at my house waiting to be put on. College classes couldn't go any slower right about now

Here are some really shitty iPhone pictures. Betters pictures will follow.

I think the lift/tire/bushwhacker combo is a perfect match. Everything looks very proportional. I did cut the inside of the front flares because they rubbed at full turn. Also panted the rims OD.




Minor poser flex shot-

[Bigbike]

NOICE!!! What are you at for lift height?

[Slade]

RE 3.5 kit. Needed to add a .75'' spacer when I got the bumper and winch. I'm going to guess its around 4'' all around now.

[Bigbike]

Noice. Im right around that height too. Its really a fantastic height for crawling IMO.

[Slade]

Sweet. Yeah I haven't had a chance to go crawling yet. Still a few more things to upgrade then hopefully I'll be able to. I've been craving it

[clean4drxj]

nice lookin XJ

[Slade]

Been messing around with some back yard flexing. What do you all think, ditch the flares for some more up travel or bumpstop more and get longer shocks and joint the down travel crew?

[Ruepart Hoaxley]

Droop ftw.

[HeavyMetal]

IMO for trail ridin/crawlin a good setup is probably 60/40 or 70/30 split in favor of droop
