Funny side storey........while on the trailer at the motel parking lot back east, I had 2 seperate dudes offering cash for the narrowed 44's under it, knowing I had no time and was undecided in the direction I was going with the rig......I simply handed out decals and told them to email me in a few days.......I figured it was the polite way out.

Welcome home, Rolling Felony!!!!! :thumbsup:

The head lights look like the came from a newer Yota FJ? Very different. What were the narrowed 44's originally from? I would love to see some more pics of the under side of that thing.

[DETOURS]

Rear seat is in the F~350, the one that coverts to a bed.....not in the XJ.

[DETOURS]

Okay sooo.........I'll attempt to fill in some details about ol'Blackie....

Tires as stated, Q~78's (New)
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v649/Detours/000_0271.jpg

Headlight conversion, as stated are CJ buckets & rings, marker lights are reshaped XJ wrapped in 5/16" stainless rod painted black. I rolled the front fender down and around the headlight area, all tubing is 1-1/4".....it wraps the entire front end and becomes fender flares....

Both the front & rear axles are 44's, 4:10 gears and ARB lockers

More to come, the rain is making for crappy pictures......

[2000XJ]

Can't wait to see/hear more about it!

[Mudderoy]

I can't believe he left it in storage for 2+ years.

[Primo]

Me either shes beautiful!!!

[DETOURS]

I can't believe he left it in storage for 2+ years.

Well.........consider a new baby 3 years ago, selling of the old house, the move......the move again............keep'in the business going................it's not too hard to believe..........:smiley-scared002:

Thinking there may be a better spot on the forum to break down the vehical, Im going to peak into the 'Rigs' area......

[DETOURS]

Yea.......I think I'll move this topic down to the Rigs area, the build is ongoing so I'll be able to add stuff without clogging
up this area........

Clog up any area you want to, if it means more pictures of your XJ :drool:

[BlueXJ]

Moved the whole thread to give you room to add pics and discuss the build up of this incredible rig.
I understad your reason for sticking it in storage, which is much preferable to having to part with it.
Now tell us all the particulars.

[DETOURS]

There was a time when it looked like..........

[bassackwards]

[DETOURS]

Not bad, you need to preplan though, or atleast have some thought into it, I pulled it off in a day.......(round/tube wrap & fenders)

[Melissa]

Looked good in the before pic, but I really like the look it has now

[DETOURS]

Yea thanks, but it blended in as just another lifted XJ.......

Now I get more of a "WTF IS THAT?" kinda thing...........:rotfl2:
