your not the only one :D

Great pics! I can't wait to get down to Paragon now!

Is it just me, or in pic 27 does it look like your tire was hitting your reservoir at some point?

Any chance you could post the specs on your rims/tires combo? I'm looking at new tires this spring and want to go larger than the warn out 31's I'm on now, but I've got to keep it street legal (can't stick out past my flares) and it looks like you accomplished just that!

get bigger flares, rear TJ flares all the way around look nice.

[nhrocker]

I've got a set of TJ flares sitting right next to me actually, but they were trimmed by the previous owner a little higher than I would have, so I'm not sure if I want to put them on...

But even with just relocated and trimmed stock flares his tires look like they tuck well and would still be legal.

[AJPulley]

I can't wait either, but I have a feeling I won't be ready in time.

pic 27 is a pic of a quad??? :wierd: The tires on it are 35 GoodYear MTR's,I'm not sure what rims.Andy in Pa owns it,shoot him a PM and he can answer for you.

[nhrocker]

Oops...Webshots had it as 27, youve got it as 36...

[Bluexj96]

Rob (nhrocker) F the tj flares why dont you just use the Rubi flares of your dads jeep. He must have them sitting some where. Being he has those extended Flares. That way you could run a even wider tire/rim combo than you could with the tj flares.

What trails did you run??
I know they cut a bunch new over the last couple of months.

We didnt run any of the new ones.You are right there are lots of new trails.00 looks to be pretty good,I want to check that out next time up.

[warpigxj]

I heard the same thing about 00 i know a few that ran it and it good when it was first cut and now is better after it worn in. I need to fix my trailer and my XJ so i can get back up there soon(haven't been off-road since november).
last time up there i ran a small section of voodoo that was fun as hell

[jeepmanxj94]

well even i am ripping the rear flare off my xj and trimming it up a a inch or so and then trimming the front some more. but just enough to get some tj flares on the rear for legal reasons. never got stoped for not having flares on my jeep in either maryland or maine. or for that matter anywhere in between.so but once i trim up the rear im gonna have to put something one to keep it semi daily driven. let me know bluexj when you want to trim those fenders so we can flex it out with those new 31's !!

[Andy in Pa.]

Yeah, sorry gents, I have not been able to get on-line in the past few weeks, just got the DSL set up, this is way better than dial-up!!

Thanks for posting these pics Mitch!! That was a fun day!

To answer your questions, no the tires don't rub anywhere, that just happened to be the last spot that the mud/water was drying. I run 35" MT/R's with AR-23 wheels backspaced at 3-3/4". The fender flares are the remainders of Bushwacker cutouts that I won at a Nac-Fest a few years ago. A 4" backspaced rim is perfect for my combo, I just got the rims I run for very cheap so I went with 3-3/4". I am at about 8-9" of lift.

Sorry Mike!! Its been over a year though, I have to re-train myself to call you when we're going now. I still cringe when I drive by that little road-side stand where my tranny blew. There is still a huge oil spot on their driveway. I mentioned it to CHW, but his XJ isn't even inspected right now!!
