I can get the grizzly's for 80 bucks but there's only 4 rims. Or I can get 5 canyons for 80. Leaning more towards the canyons cause there 15x8. What's y'all opinions?

Took all the unplowed side streets to work this morning, of course.

Not a bad parking job for an E-brake slide, might have cost me a flare though...

Its worth it. We dontneed no flares lol. I'm surprised my destination ATs do as good as they did for the storm. Can't do donuts on snow covered concrete though

I wouldn't worry too much about getting a 15X8 rim. Those wheels on an XJ don't have enough backspace to put a wide tire on them anyway. Stock wheels with a 9.5 tire are ok, 10.5 tires start to rub, 12.5's are a nightmare.

Washed the jeep and added some more hardware to my bumper mounts. Found out my track bar axle end bolt was loose, tightened it.

I think ima put a piece of 1/4"wallx1"ID tube between the bumper mounts under the 2"x4" box. Then ima bend a piece to follow the contour of the front clip and put them on the ends under the headlights.

Still gotta add some dring mounts also.

This forum is primarily for the xj cherokee 84-01 models, you may have better luck on an fsj cherokee based forum.
