As long as you dont lock the d35 and you are easy on it, you will probably be fine with 33s.

The roof looks a little loose. I would have brought the cage down closer to the roof of the XJ.

sold!

Selling my 91 XJ JeepSpeed project. See Craigslist ad for info: http://bakersfield.craigslist.org/cto/1909348343.html
