    My new project

    I have one pic of the mounts . hope this will help . I started by using a set of clean mounts from a 95 xj and a pair of Best Top tj seats for a newer model the seats made it easy because the aftermarket seat bolts are adjustable . just move the bolt bracket to line up with the floor bracket holes . once you have that you can start to center them where you need them in the truck. This is where the fun begins, stock xj brackets are too tall in the back because xj s have flat floor pans. You can cut the bracket but i saw that as time consuming and i still wanted the stock sliders to work. What i did was use the upper stock floor bolt (hump side) on both seats just to center the seat in the truck . with the one bolt on each seat i could see where the the three other holes would line up. xj brackets do not line up with the stock bolts so , I used my old trusty pal (block o wood) and his friend rubber hammer. i dented neat clean square grooves where the rear mounts hit the floor . You need about a half inch down thats all I was amazed at how thin the floor pan is so using grade 8 bolts and big ol gangster grade 8 washers I leveled the seats best i could and drilled the three other holes . I would use steel washer plates under the truck large as possible bolt right through and bolt it all down together. I will admit I spent a load of time in the cold and dark on this one. I m 6 foot 4 and the seat have to be all the way back and they only fit one way , But I have to agree the tj seats are the best ive ever had :banana: If you guys want I can post a pic writ-up with more detail. :yes:

    My new project

    Whats up I am new to this site , been wanting to post pics for a while. This is my new truck its a 2-92 build, for the most part is still in good shape. :chillin:
  4. I am running 31"x10.5 and still got some rub , even after my lift :grrrr: so i went to 2" offset wheels .No more inside rub but the outer panel still touched. I shaved the fenders and trimmed the panels . Most of the front bumpers I have been looking at require fender elimination anyway. A good buddy of mine with a xj has 33x12.5's with a 4.5" lift. He did not want to shave the fenders and about two months ago hit a nasty bump . The tires got so far under the fender it ripped both front panels almost off. And destroying the entire front clip. The uni-body front is so thin it caused door hinge damage as well. I think before I go 33" I am going with the 6" long arm kit , just to be safe.
  5. Welcome!!!!! I am new myself. I did a bunch of research just last week on my truck looking for the best basic lift. What I found was depending on how stock your truck is. I wanted a 4" lift but found on a stock truck you don't want to go over 2-3" . It causes all kinds of problems from suspension and drivetrain parts. I decided to use the 2" rubicon express kit and have been very pleased. Block in front add a leaf rear. The best kits I found were the complete long arm kits. They are the only kits I found that have everything u need to lift the truck big and still drive the damd thing on the streets. Most might not think that way but I am going to save my money and buy the most expensive kit I can . Moral of the story is you Kinda get What u pay for. :chillin: PS If your truck is too high in back just don't use add'a'leaf unless u got the money for the good stuff
  6. Its funny you say that. Not only the brothel but 98% of all the people in office have failed at running a business! Thats why they became two faced fence riders.Its all about the benj'es anyway. Hell all you have to do is have money and presto !!! Your president!!!! Obama was right, the masses are ignorant. Not because of inability, but choice.
  7. Its 2-92 . I was told they were not made much longer after that? Ill try to get picks up soon. thanx!
  8. Not sure I just got the truck two weeks ago. Its my first jeep. I already love the truck though.
  9. Whats up guys this is my first post to this site. I have to say , i am a rebublican and ex service member. However I think we are all liberals by american right. We all have the right to voice our veiws. I think we are all trying to do whats right in our minds but I think we have all been had by the media . Hard to know whats up and down sometimes. Maybe we sometimes pick sides to protect our veiws, besides its HARD TO STAND ON THE FENCE WHEN YOU KEEP GETTING POKED IN THE BALLS .HA :rotf: sorry guys my computer and gramar skills suck!
