This is another huge reason, for me.

I had my lil' 33x12.50 in the rear, it took up the whole cargo area when the rear seat was up.

Ask anyone who has wheeled an XJ long term with a big tire on the back. If I'm not mistaken, That's why Glen took his tire off of the mount on his white XJ.
I plan to fully reinforce the frame. Like I said theres no way ill keep a 35 or 37 in the jeep. And putting one of those on a roof rack doesnt seem to appealing. But when I make my bumpers they will go pretty far back to begin my reimbursements

Howdy. The wife and kids and I live in Santa Fe. I've been using this forum for probably over a year now just to keep ol' JeepJeep running well. But, not until recently did I'd be able to do any offroading with this baby since it was still being used as and everyday vehicle.

Now I've got a 3" budget boost ordered and I'm looking forward to some wheelin this spring. Maybe even look for some treasure. You guys heard of Forrest Fenn?

Well I got my 62mm TB installed and its whistles at part throttle. Going to take it off and round the edges on the lower IAC port.

I got two stock 4.0 TB I'm going to bore out to 60mm at work. Hopefully they turn out good.

Yup is that old crazy guy in santa fe that appenently burried a million dollars in gold and jewles somewhere in new mexico, to find the treasure you have to solve the clues he left behind in code to find the treasure. From what I heard the only real clues are in his book. So far no one has found it yet as far as I know.

Problem solved.... Still need to make a mount for it but I just tossed it up there for the picture. I could not figure out how to get the 38.5 up on top the roof more less the larger tires I will buy here soon.

Bill stop teasing us with your exo. I want one but not to sure of the legality of dailying with one. I mean its kind like turning your jeep into a bulldozer, what ever I hit or hits me will get pretty messed UP.

You could use a ****** block connected to the top bar on you cage and your wench to easily get a spare on/off that carrier.

new mexico is loose with their lift laws and mod laws if they don't pull over all the dd diesels that are more then 54 inches from the ground the bumper if remember I might be headlight instead then you shouldn't have a problem. You haven't seen many exo cages that a dd that I see at least once a week. Here ill show you one.
