2 door XJ flares work on MJ's. if you watch this video, it explains the trimming and how the rubber seal protects the paint and hides little gaps made from trimming. tho $20 a tj flare may appeal to some, IMO they look like ARSE and i will take a ticket for inadequate tire coverage then make my rig tacky by being cheap :peek:

Hey Cody, The amount of trimming required is about the same as the XJ. So, attached is a copy of the Installation Guide. It is not MJ specific but will give a good idea of the amount of trimming. You can also look at this online installation write up by BC4x4.com: Project Expedition XJ The actual fit of the fender flares to the Jeep is not 100% fine tuned at this point which means that it will take a bit of extra work to trim the fender flares to fit your MJ. With the age of our Jeeps, and the abuse they've seen, it's hard to get a perfect fit. they're photo album

X2 :agree: i like these better than bushwackers, not as wide. still a bit to much tire coverage for my setup tho. http://www.napierprecisionproducts.com/ ... -B-2DR.htm

just say NO to wrangler flares......

:eek: you guys are hard on your rigs.... did that branch/tree go thru you floor or the xj?

i have a mj 44 with 4.56, E-locker, brand new harness/switch thats has been tucked away for a few months, and the other mj that i started the HO swap on. i really want that gone, rebuilt AW4 about 10k before i totaled the xj i pulled it from, RE long arm to go with it along with 8.8 and the 30 with no slip and terra flex steering

oh, and just looked at that ranger today. rear lift was completed by stacking 3" blocks ontop of 3" blocks with about another 3" body lol guy claimed he had no issues with it :doh:

itll be a DD/toy, don't wanna blow that kinda money right off the bat lol test drove a 00 ZR2 today, smooth power yet got to 85 quick, smooth cushy ride, just not digging the eletronic activated 4wd. ive added $$ up everything ive put into the mj and :ack: :ack: going to have to find the right buyer lol built 44's/ RK 3 link (verly large portion of cost) custom rear driveshaft banks torque tube SYE and 2 low masterpull superline winch winch bumper tires IPF lights ARB compressor red top optima custom brown dog offroad motor brackets and a few other things. JEEP= Just Empty Every Pocket

looks like the back could be raised an inch or two :hmm: other than thst its looking good

:rotf: it blew down and the next week i was taking off for a outta state job, the neighbor fixed it. now if only the neighbor in the back would fix that end. one day ill get the other neighbor to take his beaters from my back yard, but he owns a paint booth and i get to use it and him for free whenever i want. one week of holding onto the rigs has turned into about 13 months

the mj has been down a while and now I'm getting tired of rust and unibodys. a new extended cab ranger has been going thru my head such as this 5.0 converted one for sale by me. the step side is in florida, but just sweet. unfortunatley did a bit of research and these supid things have rust issues, maybe worse than a comanche. such as rocker, cab corners, doors, and firewall to floor seam. found a 2001 that already had rocker and door rust. so now a 98+ S10 is the new idea. havent found much for rust issues other than cab corners. would want to SAS it down the road , and i want a extended cab step side. probly just a pipe dream tho, would still have to finish the mj and sell it or my car. I'm just ready for a frame and more room :peek:

X2... i was between the Hellas and IPF, looked at numerouse threads and chose the IPF. i belive Hella and IPF have about the same thickness in glass and very similar light cutoff, where the autopals etc had a bit thinner. Stock low IPF/silverstar low (adjusted the lights later and that improved hwy driving) IPF/silverstar high

i love having a tool box, got my diamond plate one for $50. working locks and keys are always a plus, even tho i have yet to lock mine. now that i think about it i dunno where i put the key at :doh:

downsouthmotorsports.com has a good deal on a few bilsteins. once mine is back on the road I'm upgrading to fox 2.0 resivors. was going between bilstein 7100 and fox 2.0, downsouth sold me on the foxes for ease of rebuild/tune and part avalibility. i went from procomps to bilstein 5125 up front and there was a noticiable difference, i just want to be able to dial my shock in for the perfect ride so no more cheapos

do you have a write up on making the 4 door seats flip forward? ive looked for older seats and never really found anything

ive been looking into them for sorta a progressive bump stop. i believe they are tj rears, and firestone makes them. contact them and tell them what coils (lifted or not) and I'm sure they can set you in the right direction

page 9 on viewtopic.php?f=7&t=31364&p=355318#p355318 has the IPF headlights i put in with just 55/60 antidisestablishmentarianism silverstars. the light cutoff is great, just thinking of upgrading the harness and maybe a bit brighter bulb down the road. once i adjusted them better the lighting was improved. got a decent deal from Rob at 4wd.com, if you get set up for the Comanche Clud discount you get like 10% off and at the end of the year they cut a check to Pete.

ive been thinking alot lately. now i want to fix up the mj, so i can drive out in the boonies to look for abandoned puppies and kitty cats. if you feal like donating to the cause, pm me and ill give you the details. :popcorn:

here's an idea...... if you really want to help....... try helping people in poverty and what not before some stinking animals :shake:

you giung to paint it to match your jeep :cheers:

a rough measurment of the mj 44 i have is 60 1/2" WMS to WMS with the drums off. i also have a 8.8 that came with my mj, guy didnt have spacers on it so the 35x12.50 tires would rub the rail from time to time. put some 1.25" spacers on and fixed the problem, just had to trim the wheel studs becuase i didnt get the 1.5" spacer. everybopdy has their own opnion, but i would prefer a 8.8 over a 44. they are alot cheaper and easier to come but, and according to my randys ring and pinion axle book they are a little stronger in about every way, down side is the pumpkin is bigger so a little loss in ground clearance there.

with all this so called antcipation, really you just trying to get attention... your pictures better be cool, or everybody is just going to be disappointed and youll be the laughing stock of CC :cheers:

x2
