And here is the problem that I ran into... And its on the drivers side of course... This in inside the wheel well.


I found this under the cladding that is under the doors. This spot is right in front of the rear wheel. Once again, drivers side...


And proof that I need a lift...lol

Any comments, questions and suggestions are welcome...

Thanks for looking...

Lookin good man!

Is this more of a daily driver, or do you have plans for it?

Its more of a DD...

I am planning on a 2 inch lift with some slightly bigger tires, but that pretty finishes up the outside appearence... I will be driving this thing to college so it being somewhat user/ gas friendly it pretty important to me...lol

A couple inches and some decent rubber will get you into (and hopefully back out of) more then many people might think! And if not, you've got tow hooks, so you're off to a good start!

M/T's will kill your mileage though, so if you're looking for commute friendly, stick to some A/T's.

It might also be worth looking into buying or building some swaybar disconnects of you're planning on taking it out to play much. They made a big difference for me!

Later.

Yeah, I am planning on some BFG All Terrains... Mud Terrains would be nice, but I would not be using them...lol


And the little rocks on our dirt road are pretty good about getting stuck in those M/Ts and shooting off while we go on the highway...lol

nice clean rig. careful with the hooks, they like to rip your front clip apart if you yank real hard.

Nice WJ, at work we just did a 2" lift on a blue WJ with some 31" Goodyear Duratracs I really liked how it turned out.
