Back in Black (now with s50 and bags)

To clear the front bags. You're going to need close to a 25mm adapter.

What style of front bag are you talking about?

Finally home for spring break which means a lot is going to get done, especially next week. Came home to the lovely sight of new parts with even more coming.



First up is the new hood emblem.



Also ordered some extended lug bolts for the front since I'm running 5mm spacers. Not sure what spacer I'm going to run on the rear yet.



Also got some trunk carpet since mine was missing. Ignore the incorrect battery just had that one laying around. Still working on getting the drivers side to fit, doesn't seem to want to sit in there correctly so I'll fix that soon.

Really? The bag sticks out that much further than the stock strut?

Not to thread clutter.......

This was mine....I seriously don't know what I was thinking. I had only gotten it to this point about a month or two before hand....

Nice XJ. I have always wanted to buy a cheap XJ and cut the top off and weld a cage and just make it a rock crawler. Wouldn't cost much at all and it would be super bad ass.

Came home for the weekend and got a little bit done on the car.

The exhaust is finished and tacked in place but I need just need to TIG it all together. I'm not good at TIG welding so waiting on my Dad to help me out with that.






I went and picked up some 5mm spacers for my wheels. They were a little rusty so I cleaned them up a bit.

Before:



After:




Then it was finally that time I have been waiting for, test fit. Two of the tires I got to bead really easily but I couldn't get the last two. The back side of the bead was on but I never got the front to bead to I tried the starter fluid method and that didn't work. I ended up just getting the tires to sit on 3 wheels while me and some friends pushed down of the face to get the wheel further in the tire while we tried to put air in it. Ended up working so that was good.

After all that here is the final result.















Ignore how awful my alignment is




Pretty excited to finally put them on. Definitely needs more low but that will be fixed here in about two weeks
