what size tires did you put on it. We are going to be doing the same lift to my father inlaws grand. Its the same color and everything

Cool :thumbup: 32X11.50X15 If your doing the same kit I have some tips for you....

Did a little off road test last night. Nothing hard just some small steep hills, some flexing. now I have a noise when braking and the radiator started leaking :eek: nothing is ever easy :mad:

looks great!:thumbup:

It began, now it will never stop........

fabricated and installed proper tow points on the front. something the XJ never had. Made some adjustments to an XJ trailer hitch for rear tow point. Tucked it up underneath real nice ;)

and....

Trailer hitch......

Oh, and the full size spare :D

Nice work Gary....:thumbup: I really like the way you did the front tow points..

WHO-DEY

Maiden voyage complete! Wow! what a different ride with the long arms! Only had to be pulled once. :D A very slippery hill climb with 90 degree turn. Thanks to the Yota for the pull :thumbup:

Front tow points worked very well

Ha the old XJ flexing......

The hard work paid off, it looked good out there.

Thanks! :thumbup:

Well I hate to say it, but I think I am going to end up with your twin. I had planned on doing the SA kit, but after reading several articles and this thread I think this LA kit is the way to go. Funny thing is I was also looking at those same wheels from TireRack.com. :D

That's funny :D I wanted to go with black steels but got these used for $200 so that was easy decision..... but if you are really set on this style wheel........ :)

I think im going to have my Father inlaw paint his that will be too many jeeps looking alike lol :beers:

LOL :thumbup:

I am also looking athe MT wheels so nothing for sure yet, but the AR wheels are cheaper.

Funny thing is I thought mine was a some what rare color. I see mostly red, blue, green, white, and purple on the roadways. Now that I have it, it seems everyone on every site has the same one. :D

...must just be good taste. :beers:

Update:
So I have about 3000 miles on the Grand since installing the LA's. Been on the trails twice before this weekend but both those times it was pretty wet and muddy, (the Turtle was a soup bowl) so I had yet to really put it to the test or at least challenge its ability a little. Well what a difference it makes when you can flex and keep all four tires on the ground! Dropping in and out of the creek, off camber climbs, ruts no problem. Compared to the XJ, when it wasn't locked up front, this thing with out being locked just kept on going. It was really fun. I got the front wheel well pinch seems done before this weekend and the extended front brake lines on too. So next is getting the rocker guards finished, trussing the D44HD and on and on....

Nice job! That thing looks like a lot of fun.

Thank you and it is, both on and off road :)

something never added to the build thread.
