17 inch AEV wrangler wheels

...And maybe some running rails from JCR so my mom can get in
The Pintlers? They look amazing.

Why RC for the long-arms?

Then maybe you could buy $50 rims instead of $250 rims... xD

Just kidding, though. :P Do it the way you want.

It was good. Had some major rattling issues though. Replacing it with a freestanding sub. I'm trying out the infinity basslink. It seems tough and has double the power with a built in amp.

Looks good! As soon as the weather improves we'll be hitting up some seasonal roads for snow wheeling.

Need an honest opinion here folks. Do the AEV Pintlers look to "yuppy" to y'all? I don't want the XJ looking like a barbie with 35's (JK). I Could just keep my current wheels but they may be a little small.

Note: I would replace the yellow center cap with a gray cap

Here's the only XJ I could find with Pintlers, and they are silver and not the dark gray:

Hey thanks. I was wondering, how you liked your exhaust system you got going on? What brand is it and do you recommend

Not an exhaust system, just a muffler. It's a Thrush Welded and I do like it.. not too loud, just loud enough to where the idle is a bit more aggressive and I can hear it if I step on it. It drones a tiny bit at exactly 1600 RPM. Doesn't do it at 1500 or 1700, so I dunno what's up with that.

I never really saw the Pintlers as yuppy. I think especially on a nice rig like what you have going they would look sick!

Y'all think I should get the bushwacker flats? Or keep the old ones? Should I put my door molding on?
