What did you do to your XJ/MJ today?
seriously, one of these threads needs to stay alive in the XJ/MJ section and what better time to get a real one going then now with the creation of the XJ/MJ GD. now, lets keep this going.
for me, all i did today was take pictures of my newly cut front bumper.
picture a few posts down.

You'll have to wait for pics though as my build is *in progress*
Don't think they make them in a C load
ah ok.... what load range did u get? im worried about the jeep gettin bounced off the road with a stiffer tire lol285/75 are like 33x10.5 and 305/70 are like 33x12.5

it's been painted since I took the picture.I like it a lot but the chrome on the front looks out of place with the black bumper in the back IMO
I couldn't find a set of fenders for anything less than $300 so instead I bought a $20 can of body filler and curved the tops on the fenders to match the header panel. I have enough paint left over to do another XJ, so bring it! lol.fedx95 said:looks Sharp. I have a thread on how to convert to the new front clip. you didnt replace the fenders! You can get the new bumper caps as well and keep your bumper. All you have to do is trim the fender flares. Whenever you want you can come paint my jeep, seeing that I can't paint for ****(blue paint ended up purple on my jeep). Nice work
I still have to do something with that windshield trim. I just dont feel like using a **** load of masking tape just for that though.
paint came from Sherman Williams Automotive
It's either a D or an E, don't remember which, but obviously both are more than a jeep needs. I'm hoping to run them at a lower psi and combined with my OME shocks hopefully it'll ride decent enoughSpokes said:ah ok.... what load range did u get? im worried about the jeep gettin bounced off the road with a stiffer tire lol
yeah i hear ya!It's either a D or an E, don't remember which, but obviously both are more than a jeep needs. I'm hoping to run them at a lower psi and combined with my OME shocks hopefully it'll ride decent enough
Put it up on the alignment rack at school yesterday. Apparently i'm as good with a tape measure as the rack is with IR sensors. The readings came back in specs but i think i'm gonna go 1/2-turn towards toe-in. IRO OTK setup makes alignment a PITA.
Looking forward to working on some of this floor and body rust now that the motorcycle is good to go.

Herculiner* my bad
got irritated at the lack of cargo space...moving back from the dorms to phoenix. i hope i can get it all to fit!
LOCKERS!!!...got denied by a hill...
yeah i know i could have made it if i romped on the gas to tried 50 other lines, but it was 500 degrees in my jeep and i like it dent free and drive able lol i had fun tho but mark my words i will make it up that hill!!! :2thumbsup:
looks like a fun little hill. i want to try it in my stock xj
Spokes you need a locker bad! I wouldnt have even spun a tire there, air down plus locker and youll crawl up that barely hitting the gas.
285 is the width, You gotta use the aspect ratios with the width to determine tire size. The tire height of a 285/60 is 60% of the 285 width. So 285*0.6, multiply by 2 and add the wheel diameter and you have your tire height.i thought 285s were a 33? can u post some pics of ur jeep with them? no offense but i dont like the MTRK, do they make a KM2 in that size in a C class? i couldnt find it...
Tire tires looked pretty firm in the video too.
or you just punch the #'s into a calculator like this one...285 is the width, You gotta use the aspect ratios with the width to determine tire size. The tire height of a 285/60 is 60% of the 285 width. So 285*0.6, multiply by 2 and add the wheel diameter and you have your tire height.
