evolution of my jeep

[98xj]

First I'd like to thank Mikeswrangler for helping me out install this lift, using his driveway, and using his tools.  Without his help I'd still be working on it.

My Jeep needed to adapt... so from a 3.5" RE Super Ride lift to a 5.5" RE Extreme Duty lift...

Before



Installing lift
Sunday...7am - 9pm
Monday...6pm-11pm

Everything went fairly smoothly, except for the rear shocks. We had to sawzall out an old nut that had rusted to a bolt in the mount. And that was tough because of the odd angle and the confined space.


Saturday...AR Wheels and 33" SSR TSLS 
A little rubbing on the flares, so I'm going to have to do a little trimming.







Thanks Jerry for grabbing the wheels and tires and holding on to them for me...and for letting try them out on your rock...

Awesome Dan!  When are you going to break it in?

[98xj]

Break it in?  Or break it? Haha

Well either tomorrow or at Carnage...

[Twisty]

Now all you need are some lockers!!!

[98xj]

Lockers are high up on my list.

Think I might need some new gears too...I have 3.55's now

That looks sweet Dan.  Good job with the lift.  Tires are sharp too.  Beats the last set!!   Hope these ones hold air on the trail better than the last set

I have Ian to thank for these ones

[Bradman]

Really looks much better.  I see the new rear bumper and tire swing pivot are in place too.  My next Wheeling vehicles gonna be an XJ I think.  Looks great!!

[98xj]

That's the old tire carrier... didn't work out too well...

here's the new one from Nates4x4.



here is the front bumper



I just need to get the grade8 hardware and then the time to install them.  With the weather starting to get chilly I gotta do it sooner than later.
