99 2 door xj on 35s "pepper"

[aircruiser]

figured id throw up one of these.

bought this 1999 xj back in january of 06 and its been being added onto ever since.

specs at the start:
bone stock 1999 cherokee sport
4.0/AX-15/NP231/D30 HP/C8.25 29 spline

nothing more to it.

realize i dont have many bone stock pics



so in the month after i added baja fogs, cb radio, firestik,



not with firestik in that pic haha, then came some herculiner (regret it), jcr offroad rear bumper, surco rack, hellas, kcs



then came the first lift, IRO 4.5" short arm lift



stayed like that on the 30s for awhile



then got some old bald 33s for $100 from a friend



blew one out in dresser so got some 33" procomps



then got a nates bumper and some canyons and wheel spacers



bad ass pic haha



got free 34" Intercos through work so i swapped in some BDS springs and netted me at about 5.5" rear and the front settled at about 5" so they fit just fine



then i sold my 33s and bought some 35" KM2s



got rims for my 34s to use as street tires, cut and folded my fenders, took off my jcr bumper, were building a tire carrier on it, SOLID cover for my D30 and a riddler for my 8.25

wheeled on some buddys land



JCR tail light boxes and LED mod

[89xjgrey]

Good choice in frt. bumper. I beat the snot out of my C4x4 bumper and never had an issue...just repaint every year...

[aircruiser]

good to hear! i could never find people with the brushgaurd on their c4x4 and see what they had to say about it

[CT99XJ]

love love LOVE 97+ 2 doors. good looking rig, man!!

[aircruiser]

thanks buddy im kind of partial myself haha. the 2 door was the selling point for me as well as the 5 speed. my initial plan was to go with a 2" BB and 31s and keep it clean..but then i went wheeling once..havent looked back haha

[aircruiser]

got my lights wired up







took this one for fun

[JRW7072009]

Nice XJ!

lights, those would be great for night wheelin.

[aircruiser]

thanks bud! yeah i have yet to do true night wheeling. the offroad park i go to alot closes an hour before sunset. i had a chance in AVF but i only had 2 on the bumper at the time. if i ever get the chance tho, it will be fun!
