    XJ CRWLER - The Unending Journey

    This build has been I guess in the process for a couple years now, the mods I'm sharing today started 12 months ago from the moment it was put on the trailer. A little about myself: My name is James as you may have captured already, I'm from Christchurch, New Zealand. This XJ is my first Jeep...

    Wave from New Zealand!

    So the '16 Rubicon finally arrived, I'm loving it. Need to get some mods going! Where's the best place to start, I'm thinking removing the picnic table bumper is a good place to start personally? [emoji81]

    Time to respray the XJ!

    Completely not my intentions at all, I have nothing to offer anything to WAYALIFE users except some images and a bit of information on my Jeep project only. I thought it would be better to try and keep the build in one place with a bit more detail for the meantime if you understand what it's...

    Time to respray the XJ!

    Hi fellow Jeepers, I've decided to give my XJ a respray and wanted to get some of your opinions on textured paint and the colour! I managed to get the bonnet done tonight, you may or may not see the texture too well without zooming in a little, but basically I've applied it through a spatter...

    XJ Lift Suggestions

    I'm currently running the 8" kit from IRO, I got the springs compressed and leafs reset to lower it 2"s as it was sitting far too high. It's still sitting far too high even on 33s. I'm going to trim more guard and come down another couple inches to around a 4" lift and run 37s. The kit itself...
