Recent pics of the TJ...

[krcon]

Hey all. Been awhile since I've been over here and the Jeep's changed a bit since. Last pics I posted were with a 2" Trailmaster BB, 32's, and 6" Warn flares. Since then I pieced together a Tera 3T(what a difference) and put on a set of Sahara flares(Warn's were great, but too wide for me). Stil riding on 32's though, hopefully that'll change in the next couple months(looking to upgrade to a set of 33x10.50 MTkm's). Well here're the pics..

Both shots were from the first Rock Dawgs (www.rockdawgs.com) run up at Paragon last month. Later.

Figured while I'm at it, I'll post one of 'wheeling buddy. My brother's got a '99 XJ with 3" of lift and 31's.

It's very nice-looking, but... doesn't the TJ flex better than that? :confused:

I've managed to keep all four wheels on the ground in similar situations with my ZJ with a 2" BB, non-disco'ed. Maybe it's tougher than it looks in the picture?

Oh, and the XJ looks nice, too! :)

[krcon]

Yeah, the pic really doesn't do the obstacle justice. I was actually in mid bounce(start to slip on the approach and tried to recover with to much go pedal juice :rolleyes: ) when the pics were shot. Other than that I manage to keep all fours on the ground ;) . BTW, I didn't make it over the rock :( , next time........

nice looking jeeps

Nice pics. I would recommend 33x12.5 over 10.5s though.

[krcon]

Thanks guys :D .

Colo.TJ - I'd rather that too, but I'm trying to keep it under the flares here in Pa(I know, why'd ya get rid of the Warn's then ;) ). I'm still exploring other wheel options, but don't want a set of rockcrawler types and my current ones are 3.75" bs. Gonna give Sears a call and check out some of their "Z" wheels. Supposed to be 4~4.25" of bs and pretty cheap.

jrsxj98 -I saw your pics and noticed you're running 32's on the stock rims. My brother's looking to pick up another 1.5" of lift and run 32's when he goes to SYE. How much room do ya got in between the rear springs and tires. Also, how bad's the rubbing up front(control arms, bumper extension, etc.)??

I was actually in mid bounce

That was my first thought, but then I thought the focus was too good for the picture to have been snapped "on the fly." It looks sunny, so I guess a short shutter speed was used. :)

Please don't be upset, but those TJ pics reminded me of a "flex" shot I saw of the KJ before it was introduced. It had one front wheel on a rock, and the other front wheel "drooped" like two inches. :)

I hope you take that rock next time. ;)

I discovered that my tire pressure gauge was a little off, thought I was @ 15 lb psi, turns out I was really around 20( I dumped a little beer on it working in the driveway once or twice ;) ) . This is a lousy pic, but at least I'm not airborne :p (wife wasn't into takin' pics on this day)....

Nice pics and Jeeps !

[krcon]

Hey Jeepchickless, I recognize you're TJ from over on the Q-tec board. Been doin some work to it, eh? Still shiny as ever though :p :D .

Keith

This is a lousy pic, but

Oh, not at all. It's just that the original picture didn't provide enough clue (for a stupid foreígner like me) that it was snapped in mid-air, where the other front wheel hadn't had the chance to droop fully yet,

I'm glad that you're not offended. As I said, it's a very nice-looking TJ.

I've had quite a few :beer:'s by now (its' 2:54 am here), so it took me like 10 minutes to compose this reply. :-)

Does anyone have a scientific explanation of why my fingers seem to grow fatter as I drink...? :confused::D

It's not your fingers, the keyboard actually gets smaller the more ya consume :D . Trust me, I've done extensive research on this subject(and annihilated several cases of Lager in the process :p ).
