I went to five guys last week. This little guy parked next to me.

 

Amazing build thread! not a bad way to spend a sleepless night, and it is great to see recent activity such a large build thread

 

Thanks!

Well seems like the coil spring spacers were a bad idea, as they've significantly reduced my gas mileage. The rake was actually beneficial to the aerodynamics of the Jeep. It has been a noticeable 40 miles to the tank drop. So I might have to take those out.

 

its amazing never would have guessed that

did the rake look bad in person or was it more of a piece of mind thing?

 

I just like the look of a level vehicle more than a raked look.

 

Today I pumped up my tire PSI to 34 for the winter. I usually run them at 28. Let's see if that helps my MPG any. They were at 25 when I pumped them.

Also, my new LED light bar is leaking again! Manufacturer is supposed to send yet another one.

 

^X2

your gonna rip 'em off on a tree or rock mounting them there, mate....
the whole design of the side mirrors w/ the ability to bend back is nullified by your location. What's the matter with empty spot to right and left of stinger weld into bumper real-estate or at bottom & in front of A-pillar ?
They make brackets for that location I am pretty certain....just dont want your LEDs mucked up.....to each thier own! nice XJ, btw

 

Dude I think I saw your rig today riding north on i95...
I was riding southbound back to miami its looked like yours....

 

I never drive on i95 :P

I doubt it, this Jeep doesn't see enough off-roading to worry about that.

I already have lights on the bumper with the 12-inch, and I wanted something a little higher.

 

i was looking into adding some cornering lights to my jeep and i was having a hard time trying to find a place to mount them. that is perfect! thanks for finding that for me! are the lights from the same company, or a different one? would it be possible to share a link

 

You can use any LED pod with these mounts. They all bolt in the same way. Here is a compatible set:

I've got a Banks Monster cat-back exhaust system in the queue that I plan to order tomorrow to replace my factory exhaust. It should give the Jeep a nice sound as well as a slight boost in horsepower.

 

I finally got to getting the pictures of my rod bearing job off of my camera. Here are some snaps of inside my motor:








Oh and here's a picture of my Jeep creeping in the background at Checkers:

 

I've got this bad boy coming soon:

 

$280 for a muffler and some pieces of pipe? Jesus...
