Thought I'd share some pictures over here, in case anyone was curious how the Rock Monster's look on a XJ.

Those look good. Never heard of them before.
 
Looks good. How are those tires?
 
How is the performance of the MetalCloak 3.5" Suspension?

It is fantastic. I can't say enough about it. I wanted a comfortable on road ride, with great flex and high quality components. This kit delivered that, plus some.

I have only seem them on JKs before. They are a double beadlock design. Very impressive wheels and they should be for what they cost, lol.
15x8 with 3.625" backspacing.

This tire is perfect for what I need right now. I am mostly on the street for now and once I move back to the mainland, I'll be hitting the trails a lot more. So they are great street A/T tires with good trail capability, and kevlar to boot. Until I save up to get new axles, the 31x10.50 fits the bill. Once I cut, trim, flare and upgrade axles, I will go with a 32x11.50 probably.

Costly, but a great tire with a 60k mile warranty as well.
 
Looks good! I was seriously considering a set, but went with the racelines instead....

If I can talk my brother into it I'd like to put a set on his Xj though! Do they still have black or is it just the grey color?
 
Yep they have silver, black or dark argent
 
I wanted those so bad..one of a few that are a DOT certified bead lock...in a 17 they were way to much for something I was going to mess up in the rocks...so I went with the cheap knock off atx cornice 195

Good to know about the tires, thought about considering them, but didn't know how well they worked. Surprisingly, the tires I really want are the cheapest I can find around town in the size I want. 265/70R17 Bridgestone Dueler AT REVO2

I don't think I've ever seen a good looking non factory wheel on a JK... everyone out here seems to put ugly ass bro rims on their JK's.

Yep I can't stand those kind of wheels.

The Goodyears are pricey for sure. Might look into some General Grabber AT2 or Cooper Discoverer AT3. I've heard really good reviews on those 2.
