No, I have a d ring receiver for the back. I bought it used. It was the older model. his new ones have ends that curve inward towards the vehicle and standard d ring mounts. Other than that it is nice and heavy duty.

I love the 3rd reverse light, I would have a 4th but I cant find the 90degree bracket, Ill have to make one.
 
Nice camo job! thats a sweet lookin XJ. here's mine in it's current form. as

Specs are: 94, 4.0 ax-15. 5" lift using s-10 springs, shackles i made and PORC 4.5" springs. Soon to get JKS lowers RE uppers and 33" trxus mt tires. 3.55 gears. 44 rear w/ crown vic disc. I just got the 102" whip antenna on there and i love it. its already taken more abuse than my firestick and gets better reception/transmission.

Konas are awesome. I'd take a demo 8 or 9 over it though. The bike behind my kona is a specialized actually. its a stump jumper from the 90s. got it for free.

I actually run an 03 Specialized Stump Jumper Pro frame with all xc accessoreis discs the whole nine yards(built it myself not bought). I am an xc guy but my bud thats is in to more DH runs a Specialized Enduro fully loaded.

I'm just raggin' you i amctually love Kona's but I am too cheap, thats why I custom built my XC bike, Cost about $400 less to build and buy everything myself than buy a complete bike.

That Stinky De Lux is a sweet ride...

about that discconversion i bought a 44 with a conversion ni idea what it was the caliper brackets are welded on to the axle tube, is it it posible to send a pic of your set up i want to compare i need to find out what parth i have on this thing and am looking for brake line sugestions. thanx

You need the discs off a 94 or newer crown vic. I got mine at a salvy yard. The brackets are cast aluminum and bolt on to the same bolt pattern as the 44. Check out http://www.jeepin.com/features/cvdiscs/index.asp for a great write-up on this. Its a fairly simple conversion, just definately get the rubicon parts they mention in this write-up and definately get some new axle tube seals nomatter how good you think yours are! I learned this the hard way. The e-brake is a bit of a pain to hook up but if you can weld you can make little brackets for it. Good luck, any more questions feel free to PM me. I can try and do some pics for you if ya like, i gotta pull my tires off this weekend anyway so let me know if you still need them.
