    Building an LJ for cross country

    They are level 8 enforcers. Not my first choice, but so many things are out of stock right now, and I needed a very specific width and offset, and these fit the bill.

    Building an LJ for cross country

    En480- that’s a good looking LJ. I haven’t had any issue with the 33”s (32.7” actually) around town or local highways. On highways that have hills with the OD off, it pulls ok. When I cross the Rockies, that may not be the case though! So I may save some and end up with a regear in the future...

    Building an LJ for cross country

    This thing sure has been keeping me busy...... Changed oil/filter and cleaned oil pressure sending unit (low pressure light went off and scared the hell out of me!) all good now, been 800 miles without that happening again. Not fond of the pressure gauge. Would like a real one. Had a coolant...

    You guys think 33”s / 3.73 would be that anemic on the highway hills even in 3rd gear with the OD off? Really not wanting to re-gear, this thing is gonna cost enough just to get up to snuff, and I probably will add a locker. So these re-gears- what rpms are they hitting at say 80mph? On...

    I already have 4 17” duratracs. 285/70/17. Looks like the Jeep would definitely need a little bit of lift to get these on. They sure would be awesome though! Believe it or not, I had these stuffed onto a Lexus gx470 with zero lift! Found FJ cruiser wheels with more negative offset, and got...

    Gotta love this 2 door Jeep! Camping box, 2 chairs, 2 tarps, cooking box, 2 coolers, tent, comforter, blanket & 2 pillows, axe, shovel, backpack, air mattress & pump. Room to spare!

    Building an LJ for cross country

    It’s not much to look at- yet. Stock, so I’ve got a blank canvas. Bumper plastic corners were removed immediately the next morning! Was looking for black, dark blue, dark green...but finding an LJ was tough and I was in a hurry. The red is ok, pretty classic looking. I was wrong on the tires...

    Building an LJ for cross country

    Hello all, Just got my first Jeep, 04 LJ. In the process of going through it, to fix anything that needs it. Front suspension/steering needs attention, it’s tight, but have split boots on most joints, so failure is just a matter of time. The big question- is lift. Which could change some of...
