jared Posted May 31, 2007 Share Posted May 31, 2007 this is my old xj, the one i was working one, 6.5'' lift etc. 33's all kinds of junk and money into it. i just sold it because i need something with better gas mileage and more highway friendly 8) i really kind of miss it now that its gone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jared Posted May 31, 2007 Author Share Posted May 31, 2007 and now for the new jeep in my life. i was kinda joking about the better gas mileage. 190 miles and a 1/2 tank isn't great but its better than the xj its a 2004 SE. 2.5 5 spd. its a super deluxe base model. i don't think it has a single option on it. no radio, no a/c, no back seat. NOTHING!!! but i love it so much. i drove to akron ohio to pick it up this morning. 6 hours of driving and 25 bucks in gas for a nice jeep like this with only 24k on the ticker. :cheers: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KYMJ Posted May 31, 2007 Share Posted May 31, 2007 I love the color, guess it reminds me of my old team green Kawasaki days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeepthing07 Posted May 31, 2007 Share Posted May 31, 2007 you need to paint them wheels black or buy new ones Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jared Posted May 31, 2007 Author Share Posted May 31, 2007 you need to paint them wheels black or buy new ones they are covers on there now, but i will probably paint them black. or put my aluminum ones on tere, but they would be black also. 8) what do yall think of the chrome grill? its kinda growing on me but i am unsure Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeepcoMJ Posted May 31, 2007 Share Posted May 31, 2007 ditch the chrome. all of it. and go black. black on green would look alot better... I REALLY like it otherwise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jared Posted May 31, 2007 Author Share Posted May 31, 2007 pics do no justice to the color. its a lot deeper green, with metallic flake :D :D :D :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tracker Posted May 31, 2007 Share Posted May 31, 2007 pics do no justice to the color. its a lot deeper green, with metallic flake :D :D :D :D I was hoping the color was not what my screen shows it as. What I'm looking at is "Forest Service" green. :ack: Even so, I'd drive it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeepthing07 Posted May 31, 2007 Share Posted May 31, 2007 Is that "Electric Lime Green"? i really liked that color there is a TJ around her with 35's in that color it looks awesome. Its never dirty though i think its a poser. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UNL1MTD Posted May 31, 2007 Share Posted May 31, 2007 what do yall think of the chrome grill? its kinda growing on me but i am unsure I can dig it. But that is an option, wierd you get a chrome grill and no radio. If you do want to remove it, its not hard from what I understand and I think they go for about 100 bucks. You also have a spare tire cover, option #2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mitch Posted May 31, 2007 Share Posted May 31, 2007 and it looks to have a sound bar... but no radio! I would lose the chrome, but its your jeep! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete M Posted May 31, 2007 Share Posted May 31, 2007 Yup, it has the "sound"bar, but apparently it's sans speakers and exists solely for the interior lights. :roll: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete M Posted May 31, 2007 Share Posted May 31, 2007 Could be. Some places (work/schools/libraries) block out images from various sites just to be on the safe side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jared Posted July 14, 2007 Author Share Posted July 14, 2007 well here's a small update. i got some extra cash so i bought a front and rear bumper from 4wd hardware. they are the procomp rock crwler bumpers, supposedly 1/4'' steel. i was excited alot. but i got the front bumper today, no rear yet :confused: but first off its not made by procomp as advertised, its genuine steel brand. and then its not even 1/4'' like advertised its only 3/16. so by now i am kinda ticked off that its some false advertisment. then i get my stock bumper off and go to put the new one on, it don't fit over the frame :flame: so now i am reall pissed that i got some junk @$$ bumper. but about 20 minutes with the grinder on the frame and its fits like a charm. :ya: so i am kinda dissapointed all in all, but i have a new bumper which is a decent platform to build something better in the future. i might add a stinger, and a winch mount to it, then make the shackle mounts better and stronger. but thats in the future. anyway here's the pics. looks badass without the bumper i think, almost was gonna leave it that way :ya: and here is the finished porduct Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete M Posted July 14, 2007 Share Posted July 14, 2007 Very nice! :D Now ya gotta work on some tires. I recommend the 29" STS like my sis used to have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

whowey Posted July 14, 2007 Share Posted July 14, 2007 Very nice! :D Now ya gotta work on some tires. I recommend the 29" STS like my sis used to have. How do those do with 99.9% road driving? I was thinking about getting another XJ to drive to work, cause my one is 'street legal' but not really good to drive, and I would like to tear down my MJ. I know that I won't be able to leave any Jeep I buy alone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mitch Posted July 14, 2007 Share Posted July 14, 2007 There are WAY better AT's than STS's..... do your research and buy what fits your driving style. And I am a HUGE Swamper fan! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete M Posted July 14, 2007 Share Posted July 14, 2007 My sister loved them and they drew attention everywhere she went. I admit there are better handling ATs out there, but I challenge you to find me some that both stand out that much and are that affordable. :D Being a swamper, they are a true 29" tall and that makes them as tall as most tires that claim to be 30" tall. We went with a 8" wide rim, so I'm not certain how well they would work on the narrower stock rims. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jared Posted July 14, 2007 Author Share Posted July 14, 2007 i like the sts, but i am gonna go trxus mud terrains in a 31 probably. its not gonna be driven on the highway too much so i am not really worried about the get up and go. hell i drove my xj with 33's for 2 years with stock 3.55s and it was fine it would blow by a dodge ram with a 4.7 in it from a stand still, but had no power over 50mph. but i will miss the gas mileage once i get them, but i might be working at a firestone dealer in the near future so i would probably get a mad discount on the destination m/ts :brows: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
