Looks good. Did you have to make any changes from when you had 30x9.50s? How much rubbing do you get on your lower control arms at full lock?

I'm actually running 1.25" spidertrax spacers in the rear and 1" ebay spacers up front, so there is no rubbing at all. Before I put the spacers in the front, it would rub occasionally at full lock even with the 30s.

Only other thing I did this week was put in a TC drop to get rid of the drivetrain vibes I had under hard acceleration.

Looks good. With the spacers do you now have problems climbing the fender openings at flex? I'm running the same tires on the stock rims on my 91 and I couldn't ask for them to clear the fenders any tighter, I'd rather rub on my LCAs then the fenders.

Are those 97+ side view mirrors?

I haven't tried yet. This XJ is really just my utility hauler and I've only hadit a couple months, so it hasn't been in any real offroad situations yet. I'll check all that out once it gets above the freezing point around here!

Yeah, the mirrors are the power ones from 97+ from a junkyard. They fit with minor modification, although I didn't hook up the power adjust on them. I just adjust them by sticking my hand out the window if needed...

Well you know the street side of things.. lets hear from someone who's takin their OFF the road and mall parking lots

 

[irish44j]

99% of my XJ's action will be on the streets, so street performance is more important to me.

BTW, Home Depot is across the street from the mall, so I don't go into mall parking lots

Even a blind nut finds a squirrel on occasion

 

[irish44j]

that's actually mud-colored paint on the sides. I just splattered it on there to make it look like I was wheeling. It's permanent too, so I never have to look like a mall-crawler. yeah!

 

[UNCC_99XJ]

hahaha mud in a can....still can't believe people actually buy that stuff. Might as well grab some of those fake bullet holes while you're at it.

[UNCC_99XJ]

I only do the real stuff....none of that fake shit for me.

 

[nick86]

You gotta be kidding me. They have mud paint in a can? If you need it your a pussy. I can wash mine and 2 blocks later the windows & doors are covered with sheet.
