I can't wait to do long arms. And 33's, like yours. haha

But I can't deal with less than 17 mpg right now.

Im liking the 33s and long arms over 31s and short arms MUCH better offroad. I need a locker, but Im focusing on the DD capabilities right now. Looking into HID Headlights with projectors, and a pair of offroad HIDs. Roof rack is for sale.

Yeah I wasnt sure, but so far it is working out.

I am selling my Surco Rack, 4 hellas, 2 lightforce lights (2 blue lenses also), and possibly ZJ disc hardware (Id like to put these on, but im not sure). If I go with roof lights again it will be a low profile light bar and will sit above the windshield (sort of prerunner/jeepspeed style). I might use square lights this time though. I havent made a thread on any of these yet, so bear with me.

I'd do the zj discs. I have the set up waiting to be installed, but I don't have the time.

Its supposedly a huge improvement.

Im definately thinking about it. I havent put them up for sale yet. This is the second time I have bought the hardware and then got cold feet.

Ill probably just do it. I just need rotors, ebrake shoes and hardware, and new shoes.

The rack, and all lights are up for sale.

srmitchell · 11-02-2009, 11:33 PM

FYI, the rotors, pads, e brake shoes+hardware only amounted to about 130ish. Worth it fosho.

What did you use exactly? That sounds pretty good

Looking good man!

My rear brakes need new shoes anyways (probably new drums too) anyways so I will probably just swap them out for the disks.

One of my most favorite mods to my XJ is the rear disc setup.

**NATEHALSXJ** · 11-06-2009, 10:59 AM

Nice build. I really want to change mine over to disc brake. Im hoping to find some in the junk this weekend

Flex shots look great

. That steering setup is **** sweet too. I just purchase a long arm setup for mine from tnt customs can't wait for it to be on.

Your original design helped inspire me for my build. I was wanting my jeep to come out just like yours. Thank You

Im glad I could pass the torch! There are some many jeeps on here that continue to inspire me, so it is nice that mine inspires others.

Listed 2 sets of lebaron hood vents and 2 sets of zj brakes up in the classifieds. Hoping to make some money for a locker or something.

I made a second photobucket account so I wont go over the bandwidth limit anymore.

Just bought HD offroad front and middle frame stiffeners off of a naxja/JF member!

srmitchell · 11-19-2009, 08:05 PM

Awesome. The stiffeners are great.
