    Thanks man. Gotta get gears later this year. I’m sure it’ll be real sluggish on the stock gears.

    Haha that's ok!!

    Edit: that's an intense tire. I've heard a lot of good reviews as well. Whether its mud rocks or whatever. I think you'll be peachy with them. What tires do you have for your rig right now?

    My buddy who built the majority of my rig is running 46’s on his buggy and is running the same axles as me.

    Finally got around to making the engine bay as neat as it’ll get so hood can close. Also installed the engine filter which is actually good for the price I paid. A6E650E8-D1E7-4CE5-A29F-41FE60F759DA.jpg 81991F79-C815-4500-9EC5-AE628148F237.jpg
    Also just happy with how the stretch turned out.A6D325AA-64E6-4C6C-9253-2B58B951B1E6.jpg

    Anyone ever seen a TJ rubicon tcase in a xj? I’d like to do this upgrade since it’s a 4:1 tcase.

    I bet when youre finished with your Cherokee that you will have spent enough to purchase someone elses buggie that they are unloading or even built one yourself with your welding buddies help. I think that the built XJ is just too cool and it has A/C! Get the buggie for good weather days.

    Think you may have misunderstood me. Keep the XJ for when it is to hot, cold, or raining, and build the buggy for the perfect whether days. After watching you with your XJ, I'd love to see what you can do with a tube bender.
