Looks nice!

Very clean dude. I like it.

Thanks for the positive comments, I am suprised how much I like it with the black wheels. I think having the center caps makes all the difference. The wheels and tires look huge after looking at 30's for a while now.

Yeah, you'll like those tires. I've run the Rubicon with them aired down to 12 psi and they are really grippy on rocks and such.

Nice looking Jeep. Wish I had a bumper like that.

No issues with the 44 gear/locker install I'm guessing?

You've inspired me to swap my alloy OE rims for black steel rims. What backspace/offset are those rims? Do you rub your LCAs? Show me a front or rear pic if you can. I'm interested in how far the tires extend beyond the fender flares.

The leafs worked out awesome. Moved the contents of my garage this weekend including 2 axles, so the jeep was pretty freighted, and no problems!

 

[Wildmatt]

Yea. I need to do some trimming so that I can actually flex out, along with some longer control arms to keep the tires out of the floorboards.

Ok, lets see what I can do for pics.....

The wheels are 15x8's and have 4 inch backspacing. The edge of the tread sticks out about 3/4 to 1 inch beyond the fender flare. I have stock LCA's and at full lock with the window down I can hear the tread lightly rubbing. Not loud like. If I shimmed the stops with a dime it wouldn't rub.

They aren't the biggest images, and I don't have internet at my new place yet, so in a few days I can do a little better

Outstanding. I'd like to hear how that electrac works out for ya. Glad that D44 housing finally became useful...the added space in my basement certainly did.

You have a "classic" sticker on an XJ with a old style front end and hatch, yet the stick is on a door with the vent window rather than full.

This leads me to believe you just put the classic sticker on rather than changing all the afforementioned (SP?).

Anyhow, sharp jeep, wish mine was black.....it's midnight blue......bleh.

You could get a classic in 1996, NOT in 1997, and then in 1998 again.
