Thanks man.

Yeah it was really odd. It took a while to convince myself but after bench testing all of them it was all it could be. Just glad she runs haha.

Sounds like the asshat that sold them to you jumped his car backwards or something.

Yo Dillon, I just bought a little 4x4. I'm gonna be up in Beech this weekend. Know any good places I can go to test out the 4 wheel drive?

Find mud hole. Drive in mud hole. GAAAASS PEDAL.

Yeah man, check out Richland Rd. It's off of 321 on the way up to boone. Also there are some little dirt roads out behind grandfather mountain that have some fun wheeling spots but it's really confusing and hard to get to.

Surprisingly that's about it up here.

Came home tonight for the weekend so hopefully I can get stuff done.

My main goal is to get the exhaust installed. Then I'll get to other stuff such as the aux fan and m3 wiring cover.


I got some parts in the mail so I had to at least install one of them.

K&N air filter because c'mon, what other air filter would you buy?

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

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.

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