I thought about that. With them being cheapo's not really concerned at this point. Will probably work something in down the road.

Then again, they are advertising that you can take a circular saw...

Second pic

Here's the plan. Note, this is not to scale but this is what I've come up with.
The front corners will have d-ring mounts and the belly of the bumper will have flush mount LEDs.

Sry.. Build was put on hold for a little while, but after driving up to camp yesterday, the gears are starting to turn.

I've decided that my front bumper ms approach angle is not to my...

The one thing I love about my xj is that there's always something that needs done. HA!!
Today I tackled the driver side brake pad sliders on the knuckle. While looking over my hub I noticed the...

Finally got my lights in... All I can say is WOW.. These are bright. They are the osram. A 12" and 2x 4". I've made pillar mounts for the 4" and a light bar for the 12" but like always changed plans...

Ha! Already made some..

A quick pic of the 12" that showed up today

Yeah I've desided against the rear carrier.. I just can't get past the possibility of it failing as I drive down the road. Also it's just going to be too heavy for my comfort. I think the internal...

Mounted the farm lift to the roof rack the other day. Not sure if I'm going the keep it here or inside the cargo area once the internal rack is finished. I'm also going to redo my roof rack but I'll...

i ordered more LED offroad lights. Have a 12" coming and 2x 4" on the way. They are the osram style LEDs. The 4" will be mounted to my a-pillers and I'm building a light bar over the winch for the...

I've decide to take a different approach to my spare tire.. No longer going to do a rear bumper carrier. Just too many variables running they my head..

So this is what I decided to do

Thanks.. It's starting to lean on the one side.. The more I talk to people the more I thing it just needs to settle. My bro-Inlaw runs a 7" front and 8" rear and side by side I'm almost as tall as...

Started on the rear bumper.. Phew this was a bear to cut thru.. 1/4 structural steel. Should hold up to some abuse..

Picked up the remaining steel needed for the tire carrier.. Hopefully start it tomorrow.

Today after work I finally had time to do a shakedown run on this setup. To recap it's 33's with a 4.5 lift..

ALL I CAN SAY IS I LOVE THIS SETUP!!!!

Plenty of flex and just the right amount...

Finally got some time to update the build.

Let's see... Finished my 4.5" lift, and replaced all bolts.. All new brakes and exhaust. Got it inspected and was pulled over for no fender flares so I...

Not trying to plug the company. Discount tires direct.. One of the online tire stores. $612.00 shipped.

I only drive about 40 miles a week not counting the wheeling adventures. Just drive it to...

Tires installed. Still have the saggy 3 well probably a 2 inch lift.

Lift springs

Finally have some time free to work on the xj.

I replaced the headliner. That was fun.

Biggest excitement is the new rubber. GT radials adventuro M/T 33/12.5/15
I'm already loving these tires....

Ok... Bump!! All links should work now

I Finally have some time to update the build..

Ill start with the e-fan upgrade. Ive wanted to do this mod for awhile now. Using 10in fans I was able to fit three of them with a little trimming....

I'm still here... Just a quick update.. Did a E-fan swap, ordered a 3-core radiator, oil cooler, trans cooler, steering cooler, and a hi-flow water pump that I had to install this morning.
Also...

Yeah.. She's a keeper. In fact she keeps hounding me on getting her own jeep. And already has a list of upgrades. I'm surprised she hasn't started buying then yet... HA!
