2000 XJ Buildup

[TYphoon]

Haha cool. Yeah I never had a Jeep do that before but it has been so humid it has done it a couple times. No smell to it so it is just steam. Stop up sometime if you see me workin, I try not to make it EVERY weekend but it's darn close to it haha.

Will do! Now I kinda want to go to my grandparents haha. :eyes::eyes:

Don't think I posted this here, but this is basically what I'm goin for, though I will likely end up with custom bumpers and a swingout.

That is Casm's Jeep isn't it?

 

[Char-Broil]

no idea, got it off DPG's site under the 4" OME kit stuff. It's the same year/color as my jeep and i'll be running moab rims like that one too.

I believe the word you are looking for is SEXAAAAYYY!!!

 

[Char-Broil]

It looks like it came from the factory that way. Which is basically what I'm going for

Couple small updates...

Got the NSS all wired up, I have wired the Park/Neutral wires to a brake light switch on the clutch pedal. All I have to do to start it now is press very lightly on the clutch pedal and it will start. It also kills cruise control if you push the clutch in, which is really necessary, especially when the wife drives it--can't imagine how much that would freak her out.

Got the new RE 3.5" springs. Now I need a track bar and shocks and I can do up the short arm lift for "Stage One".

Drove 25 min with 16 20's and a 5 and drove back with 5 of these baby's, 4 of which have 38,000 mi on them and 1 of which has 0. Thanks dude from craigslist with the super sweet Rubicon!

Never used spare, but the rest are pretty worn. Should get some use outta 'em tho. I'll prolly run studded snow's this winter and keep the salt off these rims and buy tires in the spring when I throw the lift on her.

Does this count as curb rash? It's the worst I could find...

Mocked up.

I love casm's jeep, it gave me an or-casm haha. It looks like your jeep is coming along great. I wonder if it is possible to pick up 4 spare rubicon tires that have never hit the road, probably pretty cheap?

:shiver: um, gross. Sounds like a personal problem to me...hehe

Maybe, I'm not too worried about it, if I come across some for cheap, great, otherwise any 16" tires of a decent size could do if I could get them cheap enough, but I will likely get 4 or 5 new Maxxis Bighorns either 265/75/16 (= 31.6x10.4) or 235/85/16 (=31.7x9.60) in the spring when I lift it.

 

[MG2000XJ]

I thought that was a perfect time for a little twisted joke haha. Sounds good, I have heard good things about the Bigohrns. How come your waiting til spring to lift it? Just waiting to get everything together?

 

[Char-Broil]

Yeah I still need shocks and a track bar. Paying cash for everything and trying to pay off school loans so I gotta just save up and pay for things as I can afford them. I also don't want to lift it until I have all the stuff I need to really do it well. I've driven a half-ass lifted Jeep plenty and that's not what this ride is about.

Decided to make a cardomain page for it today

Wheels are on.

P.S. Don't ever waste $26.49 on Dorman lug nuts from AutoZone. I sure hope they give me my money back for that crap and put them where they belong.
