Bedlined sides

I used duplicolor spray on, found at kragen, or pepboys.

I removed the trim, sanded and sprayed.






Aj's Sliders


Clevis, and finally a member.


And finally, a real lift.

Last post for now, trip to Hollister, it performed flawlessly, but I had to trim the flares after, they got ripped off. Thanks for looking!

If I had an XJ I would want it to look exactly like yours. That thing is awesome. How do you like the RE and OME combo? I bet it rides great.

Thanks guys, yeah, lockers are in the works.

The ome re combo is amazing, stiff, but comfortable.

They're great, the beam pattern is perfect.

Most recent stuff.
Solid diff cover

Alloy usa x-joints



Trimmed t case skid that works with the drop, and sits higher than the x member. I drilled 2 holes in the x member, and drilled and tapped 2 holes into the unibody rail. Cost was next to nothing.

Nice XJ. How are you liking those AT retreads? I might grab a pair of the ATs or the muds. Do your ATs perform well in the mud?
