Here is a little update on my XJ build. Recently I have done a RE long arm upgrade, SYE, DL, front shocks with BPE and stem eliminators. I also have JCR Stage 3 sliders and OTK steering arriving next week.

Its a Rugged Ridge SYE and a TJ front DL cut down for my rear DL.

It's time for an update. Here's my rig as it currently sits.

how you liking the KM2's? I really wanted to get a set, but didn't have the cash so I went used...

I didn't have the cash but I went with KM2s anyway.

I really like them so far but my experience with them has been limited to one run (as in pics shown above). I did not air them down, but they seemed very good in the mud. I like the tread design and the sidewalls are strong. Road noise is less than expected. They'll see snow this Saturday so I will be able to report on that soon. Granite boulders will be tested in June, or earlier if I can find a springtime run. I bought BFGs again because I had two sets of A/T KO's and really liked them in all terrain conditions. These had to be better with the more aggressive tread.

I mean seriously, who wouldn't want to slap this meat on their BBQ?

[tayman]

Right on, right on. I ended up with some used (but PLENTY of meat left) KM's. I haven't had them anywhere yet, cause I just mounted them today, but from what I've heard they oughta be pretty sweet. the KM2's just look even more awesome.

 

[agent98]

I have 33 km2's amazing road manners , but snow not so good.

 

[AJTorris]

Well i ended up having my steering lock up hit a brick wall and bounced off the wall and floped in the air and landed on the roof on the curb. I was stuck in it for a little bit and someone stopped and pulled me out of it. My knee got stuck by the steering wheel somewhere. Left arm got wrapped up in the seat belt when i unbuckled. I managed to walk away and just be sore. This was two nights ago. I started working on it today and wanted to see if i can manage to straighten it out enough to put a windshield back in. Doors wont seal correctly yet but i am going to be working on it more. My front clip broke in half steering bent and the spot where the tre goes to the knuckle the knuckle bent a bit. I have a buddy giving me a new clip, windshield, doors, hood, hatch all for free to help me out. There is another story to go along with this all too. but id rather keep that local than world wide.

 

[rocknxj]

Dude, that sucks but it is good to know you are alive and relatively uninjured. You don't want to move the suspension and parts over to a newer XJ?

 

[AJTorris]

ya im glad i am too. I have a 3 year old and a 1 year old. I was supposed to have them that night too but their mother and i decided she would keep them and id come over in the morning. I really dont have the funds to buy another XJ at this time so i gotta keep this one. im putting a cage in asap now though.

 

[fyrfytr1717]

Holy crap, can't believe you've straightened it out as well as you have already. Glad to hear you're OK. I think if you're going to try to breathe some life back into it, a cage is a definite must as I don't imagine that top will hold up to even the lightest flop after getting folded like that. I thought XJ's relied on an intact roof structure (or well tied in cage) to maintain their integrity?

 

[AJTorris]

ya i get the parts next week to finish it up. If i cant get the windshield in i have the section off another xj that i will have a friend that does body work put in for me. Hes good. Then i will cage it and make it basically a dedicated toy/summer car LMAO

 

[jimbosz07]

Not sure I ever posted my current lift setup. 4" bastard pack/RE SF on 33x12.5 BFGs

These were both taken today. Against my better judgement I decided to wax it and Armor All the tires. Oh well, it looks nice

 

[JeepFreak21]

I managed to walk away and just be sore.

That sucks about the accident man, but I'm glad you're ok!
