I like it. There's one for sale around here. I'm looking at it hard.

Go for it they're really comfy lol

They really are comfy. My wife and I agree this is the most comfortable car we've owned if you have to drive far distances.

So instead of 32's I ordered 33's lol plus a pair of flush mount pods I plan on putting in the rear bumper

 

[WJCO]

Nice. You'll be happy you went with 33s. I wish I had done that, but at the same time, I got my 32s for such a good deal and I also got a learning experience of BFG MTs in the snow. I'll be doing 33s hopefully soon. I still have a little more trimming I want to do, but I know they'll fit. What tires are those that you got?

 

[ty Mitchell]

They're pro comps and I can't wait lol

 

[ty Mitchell]

The rims for the 33's

 

[ty Mitchell]

I can't wait to see those!

The jeep wj is back in action with some some if its ad ons more pics to follow. Next project is the fender flares and squeezing the 33's in

 

[ty Mitchell]

Let the cutting begin. Should be done tomorrow at some point

 

[WJCO]

Cool. Keep the pics coming. I am probably going to do those soon as well. I hope so. Let me know any tips/tricks or problems you run into. Bushwhacker instructions look pretty straight forward so far.

 

[ty Mitchell]

So far the instructions couldn't be any clearer. And the pics are excellent quality

OK so I'm half way done with the fenders. I still have to trim the bumper back a couple of inches so The tires don't rub, other than that so far so good

Fenders look good. Those tires stick out a lot! Are you running spacers too, or is that just the backspacing on the rims? Also, looking at how close they are to the fenders, you may have to adjust your bump stops to make sure your tires don't eat your fenders. I know that you weren't planning on lifting it any higher.

 

[ty Mitchell]

Thanks and yes I put 1.5" spacers on it . I just notice the low clearance on the fenders and will look into the bumpstop adjustment I do like the ride height so far. Can't wait to take it out for a drive

 

[WJCO]

Here's mine with 4 inches of lift and 32s that are worn down about 50%. I also included pics of how I trimmed the front bumper. I got as close as I could to the fog lights. It's still flimsy enough that it bends right back when hitting something rather than breaking. Also, you may have to relocate your washer bottle if it is inside of your LF wheel well. Your 33s will crack it quickly. Let me know if that's where yours is and I'll send you some pics, 25 dollar mod and fairly simple to do.

Nice cut job on the fenders that's about how close I plan going as well. I'm getting back to in the morning and will let u Know

Thanks. I used a sawzall with a fine metal blade. I used tape to make a line on the bumper. Then I cut really close to it. I cleaned the finish up with an angle grinder with a sanding disc. It vibrates like hell, so keep it steady!

 

[ty Mitchell]

LMFAO OK will do thanks for the tips

 

[WJCO]

Just looked at your pics. Your bottle is in the fenderwell. It's the white object. You'll want to move that.





Get one like this off ebay for a ZJ model, it fits on the WJ inside fender perfectly.

It has all the same-sized grommets for both pumps and the washer fluid level sensor. The only thing weird that I had to do is make the fog light wires longer. The fog light wires are in the same harness and you have to move the whole thing up into the engine compartment.
