I think those shocks are just the generic cheap shocks made in Mexico. Everyone just puts there sticker on them. I have mine through rustys.

I have Rusty's shocks too and I'm happy for cheap shocks but wouldn't mind better shocks.

They're generic white body shocks, as previously stated...slap a cool looking sticker on 'em and nobody knows any better, right?

Just ditched my "Rusty's" white bodies...will be ordering some Bilsteins 7100 series soon, just need to get the components in, then measure for collapsed/extended lengths...FWIW the white bodies served me well for a bit, but onto bigger and better

I believe this is 100% true, My XJ has Zone shocks on it and there the generic white body shocks. I will be upgrading to Fox Racing Shocks here when i order my 33's.

Ya, I thought about that but I think it's done for the moment.

I just removed AC Delcos and the front seems stiffer but the rear seems the same as the AC's and a nice ride. I got these for their extra travel to work with the 3" lift I'm almost done with.

Default Been busy over the past few...

Saturday, I traded the roof off the parts Jeep for a Hi-Lift Extreme





Went wheelin' with some friends on Sunday





































Then, on Tuesday, I cut the factory bumper into a stubby for it...









Also moved the tow hooks back a hole to keep 'em from getting snagged on stuff. Probably won't make a humongous difference, but they really didn't need to be out that far anyway. They were kinda putting a little too much leverage on the bracket anway with how far out they were.

I also gotta ask...what's the deal with having the rear quarters on one side, and not the other? Work in progress?

lol... he originally chopped the roof off, and then went doorless. He lets his kids drive it as well and one of the times, his son snagged the right rear quarter on a tree, so it bent it all to hell. So he just cut it flush with the floor. I tried to convince him to grab the rear quarter and sail from the parts Jeep of mine, but he said he just wanted the roof... he hinted at changing his mind when we were on the trail, so I think I'll probably end up cutting it off and putting it in his shop... if he sees it sitting there long enough, I know he'll end up putting it on.

He's just one of those types that doesn't give a crap about what it looks like, so long as it performs offroad and he can have fun in it...
