Title: My newest addition, what do you think?
Post by: MSPi on March 12, 2008, 05:33:31 PM
This is my newest addition to the XJ.  I have been wanting some of these wheels for ever and found a good deal on a perfect set (all 5).  I decided to go up from the 31's to some 33's but I think I will have to go up on the lift a little.  I really didn't want to cut up the Jeep but may have to.  Let me know what you think.  Later.

I know I am missing a lug nut.  Going to fix that soon.

I like how these fit inside the fenders a little better then the 15" Pro Comp wheels I had.

Looks good! I was looking for Moabs for awhile before I gave in and bought a standard alcoa wheel.

Edit: bumpstops until you up your lift if you don't wanna cut.

I got these off Craigslist this weekend.  Came off a 06 and he only put like 5k miles on them.  I needed new tires and figured why not new wheels to change it up some.

Those look really good. Moabs are probaly the best stock Jeep wheels yet. And now you will be able to get a little bit more traction in some mud then with the old A/Ts.

VERY nice.  Are you coming to Aetna to put them to work on Saturday?

Looks good!  I have always wanted moabs but the thought of beating on rims that look so good kept me away for getting them.

Looks great! Makes me miss my old canyon wheels. I wanted to put a set on the Jeep and have them powdercoated gun metal. I would hate to trim that thing too.

I don't know yet.  I would like to but the weather doesn't look to good.  I am thinking of going to Shamrock Run at MM with a lot of the guys from Mild 2 Wild 4x4.  I need to go somewhere so I can see what all I need to trim.  I will def be at one of the next rides to see that new XJ of yours in action.  Maybe I can get some more ideas of what to do.

Also, Ben when are you coming by to do that axle?

Lovin' those Bighorns.  Welcome to the Bighorn family.. it's just Adam and myself now, plus you.  Looks good though.  I'm sure they'd do better than the other tires at Morris Mountain.

Looks pimp! I want a set for my XJ but all mod money goes to the TJ.
