New look for my XJ

[TekkaMaki]

10 months & 15 trails later and I've had to put down my billet aluminum Centerlines *taps* atriot:

Then & Now

A couple of things I noticed, my lift has settled from 4" front / 5" back down to a reasonable 3.5" front / 4" back. Also it's weird how much bigger the black rims make the tires look. :idea:

Sweet, I like the all black look.
And ya, those tires definately look bigger! hard to believe they're really the same size!?!

i always cringed when i saw you wheeling those shiny bling-bling wheels.... i wont wheel aluminum.. what wheels did you get? a lil dark i cant tell.. did you copy me and get the cragar "soft-8" heels?

I like those soft 8's...no these are the procomp Rock Crawlers from 4WPW.

My set up worked so perfectly that I didn't want to change a thing and I was able to get these in the same 15x7 4.5" backspace as my Centerlines.

wanna see something ugly?

1 of them is perfect and that's now my spare, 2 are dinged pretty bad but still hold air, 1 doesn't hold air at all and the one above only holds up to 20psi

I thought I recognized your Jeep in those pics and now realized that you were driving in front of my in Natick a few days ago Hartford Street and Rt.9. I was in the white cherokee with the prerunner bumper, not many other noticable mods, getting ready to give every last penny to college. Nice Jeep though, I dig it.

Cool, Hi! yeah I think I've seen your white XJ a few times in the same area, I'm on that road all the time. Your Jeep's got a budget boost doesn't it? or at least bigger than stock tires?

yeah, its just got 2" front springs and stock rears right now and 235/75-15's. I'm getting 30s within the next month or two. I figure I'll wait till I'm out of school so I can afford a real lift and do everything right.
