Quick pre-look at my '99 Frog with 33" BFG KM2's

[rocknxj]

Monolift shocks are on back order so my 5.5" RE lift will have to wait a few more days. Got the SYE and CV driveshaft installed. Here's a quick look at my new BFG's and Soft 8's.

it'll be one sexy XJ when its said and done. i have yet to see any red lifted XJs in Sac since i moved here in '00. i like the red with black.

Red is definately not my first choice but when I found it, I could not get my cash out fast enough. This thing is in pristine condition inside and out and is full upgrades. Hard to resist something like that even if the color is less than desireable.

I may change my mind once the hardware is installed. Thanks for taking the time to add a comment.

I really like the 33x10.5's.

I should be running the same setup by summer.

Nice!

I pick up the lift tomorrow. The tires and lift parts will have to sit in my garage for a couple of weeks until the monotube shocks arrive. That's torture, man. I could get this done this weekend if I had the shocks.

Meh it's gonna look awesome but they're too narrow for more tastes

 

[srmitchell]

I bet it's torture.

But it's also torture not having a job for parts like that. haha

looks to me all you need is a sawsall and done

Yeah, work with a sawzall might have saved me some serious coin.

I picked up my RE 6200 5.5" lift today and I have to say, that kit is one awesome setup with some seriously beefy parts. I'm dying to get the lift installed. After opening up every box and inspecting the lift components, I am completely sold on Rubicon Express products and know this rig is going to rock. I'll post pics when I install the kit next week.

 

[srmitchell]

Post some pics of the parts!

Can't wait to see this.

Any reason you didn't go with the longarms?

 

[rocknxj]

Any reason you didn't go with the longarms?

1. Overall cost

2. Overall complexity (grind, weld, etc)

3. A tad too extreme for my needs

4. I can still grow into it easy enough in the future if desired

And I was just about to say that the color was my favorite part so far... it is chili-pepper red, right? Not the standard red?

(Way) before I discovered and knew about all the differences between model years, I bought my leftover '99 during the '00 model year just because of the color. Ended up being the luckiest uneducated decision I've ever made regarding my Jeep.

 

[fyrfytr1717]

Oh and when it's done, you definately need some pics of the both the Jeeps side by side...

 

[srmitchell]

I think you made a good choice going drop bracket for now.

Those RE long arms are insane to install. The belly pan is ridiculous.

 

[Logans91XJ]

Its gonna look really good! I like Rubicon Stuff but I am not crazy about the Company I think they really need to work on their customer service and overall price on some things.

Yes, I believe it is chili pepper red. It is great shape and looks brilliant in the sunlight, but I've had too many red vehicles in my 30+ line of cars. I may change my mind once I get more black parts installed.

I think your color is one of the absolute best out there. Good choice.

 

[jimbosz07]

Ah gotcha. When's it gonna be ready? You know we're all dyin here....

 

[rocknxj]

Oh looky, the UPS dude brought my new super rails from AJ's Offroad today. Thanks, AJ. Looking beefy as I remember.

I dropped my XJ off at IH Only in Loomis today for a front locker and 4.56 gear installation. They will be installing my new diff covers from Ruff Stuff Specialties while they are at it.

The Frog is quickly becoming trail ready. Behold the Frog. Fear the Frog. Accept the Frog before it destroys you! (it's been a long day. I'm feeling punchy)
