Very nice XJ

Nice ride. Welcome to portal

Yep Warn strap for a winch. Thanks Overland

Pretty simple, pulled the rear panel and drilled my holes to line up with the holes I drilled in the axe handle, used some 2" square 1/16" flat steel behind the panel with holes drilled in the center. Pushed the bolts through the panel and plates. Put a nut on the outside the panel to hole the...

Time for new shocks on my XJ. Used mostly as a DD/camping rig and very mild trail use. Running 4.5" lift and 33" tires. Any suggestions. Looked at several brands. Lots of choices between Hydro and Nitro. Running BDS 5500 Hydros now, There 5 years old and are starting to leak.

Not sure if you have seen this, But I'm running a BDS lift been very happy with it. 4 years and going strong http://bds-suspension.com/product?ma=7&mo=29&ty=38&yr=1984-2001

I would Krylon fusion for the plastics and a bedliner foe the bumpers and lower rockers. I used Duplicolor aerosol spray on mine. Sand the crap out of the bumpers and rockers first. The spray is much smoother then the roll on and easier to clean

Love this build, but wondering about the screws/rivets that are holding the flares on

Some of the most expensive too. http://www.icelandoffroad.com/XJflares.html But I do agree look awesome

LOL A friend makes from conveyor hooks. A few of us have and they definetly make people look. Don't want to walk to close in the parking lot at the store, its a shin buster

Thanks

Trying to decide, already trimmed my fenders but using the XJ as more of a camping and back road explorer now. The sides are constantly dirty from the spray off the tires. Not a fan of the wrangler flares. Looking at Bushwackers or Rustys Flexi flares any opinions is appreciated.
