Okay, the front end is done and here's a shot of what it looks like with the new 33" Nitto Trail Grapplers installed. Yes, the fender will need to go and we will have to do some trimming but, I think this shot give you an idea of just how much bigger our XJ will be compared to stock...
Here's a close up shot of the front end...
Just need to remove the bumper end caps and get our new Bushwacker flat fenders in - waiting patiently for them :crazyeyes:
Looken good

That is about how much room mine has between the tires and fenders, mine has a three inch lift with 31" tires....
Edit: looks good by the way!!

Looks great! Will you guys cut the fenders off or go with some kind of flat fender flares?

Look at the first post, or even back a page. They are going with bushwhackers.

Oh I don't know how I missed that...:blush:
Okay, installed a set of JKS sway bar quicker disconnects today to wrap up the front end a bit more...
And, I got the rear end installed with new Rancho 2.5" springs...
Here's a shot of what our new Nitto Trail Grappers with Level 8 ZX Wheels look like installed with the factory rear fenders - super tight fit...
Well, until our new Bushwacker fenders come in, I decided that I could at least start pulling off the factory fenders...
And, here are some pics of what everything looks like as of now...

I kinda like the no fender flare look!
That XJ will have a nice finishing touch with the bushwackers!

LOL!! Just because I'm so impatient, I almost did some trimming today to open things up a bit more. Unfortunately, to do the Bushwacker install right, you need to do specific trimming so, I guess I will just have to wait.

Man.. I like the white look, with no black flares.. Makes me think about body matched flares ..
