Finished making my rear bumper brackets to mount my XJ rear bumper...

 

 

So, uh, where you going to mount up a license plate and required lighting so its 'legal'?

 

 

I have yet to figure that out, I will at least make a bracket to mount that stuff to, but a buddy of mine says he has one that may work for me, so I'm waiting on him to dig it up, In the pic the bumper was mounted temporary, as can be seen in my build thread in the projects section "Comanche Limited". There is some adjustment built into this setup, and I plan to paint the end caps satin black to match the trim on the rest of the truck. Ill post more pics when I figure out the plate situation and get it mounted permanent.

 

My plan also is to make a semi hidden hitch to go along with this. I needed the bumper in place before I can start that though.

Oil change, check and top off all other fluids (except gas. Low fuel light is on :grin: )

 

I then cut my front fenders some more, and trimmed some off the lower ends of the rear fender flares. Fully stuffed the rear tires will rub slightly on the inside plastic, but removing that will expose (sharp) sheet metal. Front tires are okay as long as I go straight. Slight rubbing on the shock towers, but no biggie. Turning, however will be problematic as the wheel well itself is in the way pretty much everywhere. Going to have to bumpstop :(

Yup! Last post on page 93 (two pages back).

Out of balance wheel set it off (Clump of muddy ice inside of tire), out of grease track bar axle end, worn out heim track bar frame end, loose track bar frame bracket bolts and loose steering box bolts allowed it to happen.

 

She handles better and tighter than it ever has since I got it two years ago. Despite 9.5" more ground clearance.

Actually had it on the lift earlier tonight, but no camera. Will take a pic tomorrow as I have to pull it into the shop again anyway to replace a bad wheel stud that I've been driving with since last Augusts or so.

 

I did measure 34" underneath the wheel I picked up.

Mounted a semi-permanant license plate mount to my XJ rear bumper, painted the end caps satin black Krylon plastic paint, and installed the last two bumper bracket bolts to my Bumper bracket. Also ordered two of those LED license plate bolt lights for it, but have yet to mount everything up till I get the tag lights. Ill take and post pics when its all together.
