35's are on ...

[Ruggedjeep]

Can you say zero rear visibility... :lol:

[RokCrawlinToy]

Hey Hrag, when did you get did you decide to put those on? Looks good. Just remember to take that spare off the next time you go driving over those whoops at Pismo.

[Ruggedjeep]

Thanks, Got them on yesterday. Im gonna lift the rear about 1" and trim the lower 1/4 panel its rubbing already.. Yea ill take that spare off for sure, not only will it bend, that will break off.

[Max Heintz]

looks good

[RokCrawlinToy]

So what are you're big trips this year? I don't think I have seen you since I started my job.

[Ruggedjeep]

Yea man its been a while.. We need to grab some beers.
Nothing set for sure yet but ill be doing rubicon in sometime in June again. Then im sure a few local runs will be going on, big bear etc.. im looking forward to a shredder run hopefully.
Whats your scheule like?

[RokCrawlinToy]

I'll be out of town for a while after next weekend. Give me a call if you have any time before then.

[Ruggedjeep]

[fatt_matt]

thats clean.............

Now you just need 6"s more lift to clear those tires.

Looks nice

[Ruggedjeep]

Got the front Alloys in last week, and the 1.5" shackles for the rear came in last night.

[Blingn]

that looks great man.  I like the low look with the big tires.  Just put a flat belly on it and your set ha ha.  It is great to see another xj on these boards gettin it.  We need to hit the trails.

[skipnrocks]

Nice rig!!   Are you going to trim your fenders to keep those tires from rubing. 

[DTB]

i likey...did you make those panels in the back yourself? what are they made of?

[Ruggedjeep]

Thanks guys, The front is perfect, its trimmed pretty high and it doesnt rub. The next step would be to remove the fender and just run some toob off the front bumper..... Soon, soon... The rear i cant trim anymore, XJ's are unibody and i would be opening up the welds if i trimmed higher. Ive got a pair of 1.5"  shackles sitting in garage waiting to go on, once i put those on and properly bumpstop it, should be OK. 

The rear 1/4 guards are made by a guy in colorado. Performace metal works, they are 3/16 steel

[DTB]

u built a sub frame yet? any probs with the unibody?

[Ruggedjeep]

I welded on some frame stiffners check out the thread here http://board.marlincrawler.com/index.php?topic=31392.0 and when i start my cage they will tie into those. Thats about as stiff as its gonna get.

[Ruggedjeep]

added a 1.5" TnT Shackle in the rear, sorry for the blurry pic.

[fatt_matt]

thats sick... nice job.. levels it out nicely

[Ruggedjeep]

Better pic

[DTB]

Better pic

needs more dents! too clean for a wheeler!

[Ruggedjeep]

oh its got its fair share of dents... The passanger side is its ugly side.

[4XFlyin]

I have been wheelin him. It is definately no mall crawler. I do agree it could have some more dents though.

[fatt_matt]

i dig chopped fenders on Cherokees... i feel on wranglers they're not as nice.. but overall nice rig!

[95jeepyj]

35s look good...i want 35s on my yj but need more lift

[Steve97TJ]

nonsense.....My TJ has about 2 inches of lift probably on 35s.

[95jeepyj]

no fenders though....thats cheating a little...ha

[Steve97TJ]

Not true, there tube fenders on the front.

how are those quarter guards attached? bolted with round head bolts like they look?

[Ruggedjeep]

The uppers are pop rivets, the lowers are allen bolts.
