ETA: Same goes for the one above this post. ^^^^thanks. Mine needs to loose the extended flares for tube fenders and about 2.5" more lift. Jeeps are Luke guns....your never through spending money on them. and you can never just have one... your collection will grow. I might add a srt8 grand cherokee to my jeep roster. |

do you have coils on the rear too? |

Nope. Still running the leafs spring under. Quoted: do you have coils on the rear too? |

Ugh, every time you people make one of these threads you make me sad. I gave up Jeeps a little over a year ago due to limited funds and living on my own. I WILL have another Cherokee one day, maybe one day soon if you guy keep this up. Anyway, I'll shut up and share my past Heeps!
My first leap into Jeeps and my favorite: '92 XJ D30/35 4.0L automatic Selec-Trac 4x4 Limited model, removable doors and leather seats...hell yeah. 
My second. $300 XJ that I got mostly for parts but had some fun with it too. 
Third. Ventured into the world of Wranglers. Got this guy for $1,000 a couple years ago. Bad clutch and bare bones but lots of fun. 
My fourth and last back in an XJ. '95 D30/ Chrysler 8.25 rear Command Trac basic model with 235,000 miles and 33x10.5 BFG's thing ran like a champ, no using oil, no smoke no slips even with all the miles and abuse

3 here
Our 08 JK X 2 Door 6 Speed That is nicely Built 
Our 2012 JK Rubi 2 Door 6 Speed (which is being built) 
Absolute wonderful vehicle, just cant say enough about the new 3.6 Pentastar Engine. Total home run by Chrysler, Jeep now has perfect on-road power and abilities without sacrificing anything for the Trail My wife Drives the Rubi and I drive the 08 when we wheel. The 85 CJ-7 Project which my son who just returned home from the Military and I are restoring. Absolute blast, it's going to be killer when its done next spring and he is going to have epic fun with it. 
Plus the ubiquitous Jeep trailer that we restored

My Jeep:
Just a quick pic for a survival gear thread. Will update with good pic when I get winch and KC Hilights put on. 
94 2-Door Cherokee Sport 5-Speed transmission, shifts great 178k miles, runs like a tank. Noisy as all hell, but I don't mind it. Great first vehicle for me. |
To motivate 92muddyxj to buy another jeep:
This simple combination with a good driver has taken me more places than a lot of people have the guts to take their built trailer queens, and frankly places I have no business being 
2000 Cherokee. Base model with manual every but still has A/C and Cruise Control! AW4 NP231 w/ PORC SYE running front drive shaft in rear. stock LPD30 front with a Spartan locker. Chryco 8.25 in rear open diff 3.55's (for now) 31" Goodyear Wrangler MT/R Kevlar's at about 5psi AJ's Offroad Armor Super Rock Rails with huge scratches and extra custom black spray paint. Rigidco Front Winch Bumper Warn M8000 winch In-cab winch controls from 12voltguy.com 20lb CO2 for instant air ups. Masterpull Recovery Gear |

It was kind of a bet that I had with a friend on whether or not I would do it. He lost. It gets some great reactions, mostly from Jeep people that understand it. |

Well it kinda looks like one just a wee bit more bullet proof. http://farm6.staticflickr.com/5064/5866011092_89760ff2d0_b.jpg FakeJeep? 
I'd rock the shit out of an FJ40 but I would have to ditch the leaf springs first. I like the olive colored ones better

Do you have 33x12.5 on there? Any lift or all fender clearance? I really like this new approach. I always thought those 6" plus lifts to fit 35" or 37" tires made jeeps way too high and top heavy. I think the new approach of sticking with the stock suspension and 33" tires (or a small 2" lift and 35" tires) and adjusting the fenders to fit makes more sense (to me anyway) and makes for a better overall jeep IMO. The resulting flat fender look is pretty sweet too!

No FSJs??? I have my fair share of the standard little Jeeps, but the FSJs are real beasts. Once I bought a couple of those I will never go back to the small Jeeps.  Sold my 53 M38A1 and my 55 CJ5 because the FSJs are way more fun. Nothing beats a well built 401.

The resulting flat fender look is pretty sweet too! Yes, they are 33x12.5. I have a leveling kit that gets rid of the factory rake. It is a 2" spacer on the springs in the front and 1" in the rear. I plan on getting AEV's new 2.5" spring lift in the near future. To run the 33" tires you really have to do flat fenders without a lift or you would get a lot of rubbing. As my Jeep sits now, they do not rub at all. I agree with you about a small lift and 35" tires. When I get my 2/5" and wear these tires out I will move up to 35" tires. I like having a lower CG and you don't need a ridiculous lift to get through difficult terrain.

Quoted: Quoted: <snip> Fender chop and painted grill <snip> Did you chop the fenders yourself or are they aftermarket? E-95 Did it myself. It took about 2 hours and wasn't all that hard. Taped off, ready to cut.  First one cut. If you look closely you can see the edges came out rough but that is where the door trim that you will see later comes in.  Door trim added for a finished look.   Rear  From the front.  After that I trimmed and re-installed the wheel well linings. |
Finally going to get off my ass and post a couple pics of my Xj. I have had her about 2 years and have done several things to it.  currently has 11" Fox 2.0 res shocks in the front with RE 4.5" springs and a Iron rock long arm kit, regeared stock D30 with 4:10 gear and 32"s minor welidng and gussets on the axle and more coming. Custom front bumper my Cousin and I made. The rear is OME 3" leaf with longer shackles and an Explorer 8.8" w LSD and disc brakes. I have Ruff stuff frame stiffners on there and I am planning to put some 12-14" fox shocks in the rear ( has 8.5" fox's now.) Lots of other little things like exhaust,stereo, dual band Ham radio, HID's, chase lights, etc. Its my do anything rig. Most fun I have had off road! |
