ComancheKid45 Posted July 23, 2013 Posted July 23, 2013 Those flat flare looks great! Beautiful truck!
buffalob Posted July 23, 2013 Posted July 23, 2013 Wow he did a great job fitting the rear bushwackers. They are a FAR better fit than I have on mine. I want to talk to your painter! ( for more than that reason LOL) It is interesting to see the additional fasteners he used on the top side of the rear flares, contrary to the factory mounting design. but whatever...it works far better and looks far better than the fit I had prior to paint. When I refit mine I will be looking at a better way to mount them and or modifications to get a better fit. I have spoken at length to bushwacker direct to try and generate interest in MJ specific rear flat tops, and sent many many photos to the dude I am dealing with...however with the recent repeated stall in my paint completion those conversations too have become stalled. When I drive mine home after work today (pant pant) I will re-kindle the conversation. If you would be so kind as to send any and all angle photos of the installation/ mounting of the rears as mounted on yours...it could possibly strengthen our case to have bushwacker offer these as a direct fit....who knows but I will most surely try. YOUR TRUCK LOOKS GREAT!
87Warrior Posted July 26, 2013 Posted July 26, 2013 Niiiiiiice! Looks Sharp! Â ...and nobody here can complain about a slow painter ;)
knever3 Posted July 28, 2013 Posted July 28, 2013 Soooo nice. That truck is very appealing. You will love driving that.

Dirteatr717 Posted August 13, 2013 Posted August 13, 2013 Truck looks awesome dude! What else is on the list of things to do? :D
RynoMJ Posted August 13, 2013 Author Posted August 13, 2013 Swap in the ax-15 / NP241 rocktrac, keep my eyes open for a suitable front dana 44, front bumper, and build a rear bumper that can protect the rear over hang. Then just little stuff like brake booster swap.
buffalob Posted August 13, 2013 Posted August 13, 2013 Now I can see what was done on the rear bushwackers to better follow the body line. No wonder there are mounting screws coming down from the top. Many thanks for the additional photos man, I really appreciate it. Your truck looks killer dude.
RynoMJ Posted August 17, 2013 Author Posted August 17, 2013 Got the jeep back from the shop today. Much better with the 4.88s. CAD fix tomorrow so I can at least take her on the beach.  Thinking I need a shorter shaft? :hmm:   Tires rubbing on control arms grrrrrrr. :doh: Â
zackcj7 Posted August 18, 2013 Posted August 18, 2013 Â Easy fix on the tires rubbing. Just adjust the steering stops on the knuckles.
RynoMJ Posted August 19, 2013 Author Posted August 19, 2013 Â Easy fix on the tires rubbing. Just adjust the steering stops on the knuckles. Â Didn't think of that. Thanks!
RynoMJ Posted August 25, 2013 Author Posted August 25, 2013 Tune up time. Not sure when this stuff was replaced so might as well do it.   New head lights and H4 harness      And I thought this was pretty funny; someone drove past my house and took a picture of the MJ and put it on instagram. One of my buddies saw it and sent it too me haha Â
RynoMJ Posted August 25, 2013 Author Posted August 25, 2013 whered you buy the flares from  Think I actually got them from a member on here. They're just bush wacker flat flares.
RynoMJ Posted October 16, 2013 Author Posted October 16, 2013 (edited) Little update. Finally got around to installing the ax15 and 241. Been slowly collecting parts parts to ditch the ba10 and lower gearing is always a good thing :brows:  1996 ax15 from an XJ 1996 241OR Rock trac Novak shafter assembly New clutch  Ended up fitting like a glove. New shaft is on its way!        Edited October 16, 2013 by Rquarte
dscowell Posted October 17, 2013 Posted October 17, 2013 Sweet build. I was wondering how do you like those rampage headlights? Would you recommend them?
RynoMJ Posted October 17, 2013 Author Posted October 17, 2013 Not bad for the price. Definitely an improvement over stock which is all I was looking for. Sweet build. I was wondering how do you like those rampage headlights? Would you recommend them?
