Mike how much lift did you end up with that you have to trim?
Here is how she sits. Rides good for now, should be a lot better with shocks on the rear.
The 33's are perfect size and it runs awesome down the road. (big thanks to my buddy matt at Best West tire)
I defend BB balance in mostly off orad intended rigs. But for a DD I tell ya, you cant beat some freshly weight balanced tires. Sooooo nice.
Also got the headliner pulled to install some new fabric. Gonna go look tomorrow to see what I want to use.

Looks great man, even with the 2000 I have now I still miss my 98 XJ Sport.
How tall is it? Are you going to bring it down any?
I notice some rear glass missing, any plans to chop it up?

The sticker went out with the windows!!! Eventually it will get cut and the hatch will be history! It is about 8.5" of lift. The back sits a little high right now, but the gas tank is pretty empty and there is no gear in it or rear bumper or spare tire. So it will settle down to about the right height.

Well some more updates for the sisters rig. Im really starting to hate her for how fas this thing is coming together, and that itll end up being a nicer rig than I have had. What a lil shit.
Anyway. Got the headliner stripped down, and the new fabric installed. Looks pretty good for a home job
Then my brother had some douche kick in the side of his bed on the old chevy, so we ran to the junk yard to see if there were any decent beds since his needed a few rust spots fixed anyway. Found a good bed, no rust, but what a nightmare. Ill detail that in the truck build thread.
But while there I wanted to snag a few small item for the XJ that I needed , marker light for the front, headlight bezel, and a few small interior peices....
Then I came home with this..
And of course started tearing hers down to install the new stuff.
Tomorrow gonna do athe orings on oil filter adapter, and swap out the oil for some rotella and new filter. Should make the jeep happier.

Dayum! It's never good enough.
BTW, I hope you are updating the filter adapter. I stopped hearing the start-up rattle when I switched to the horizontal mount filter...

Linky? I dont know much about em. I always just let them leak and be what they were. But it is the ONLY friggen leak on the damned thing. And its my little sisters so I wanna make sure its right. Dont get any start up rattle or anything. Just the normal Renix neverendingcrank
Ya, she had the nerve to compain about it needing to get painted so it matched. Really? WTF....
