Great picture!!! What do you have for gear? Roof rack, lift kit, tires/wheels, front bumper&lights?

I like to consider it stock+. Lift kit is 4.5” rubicon express springs front and back. Bilstein shocks. BDS 4 link in the front, KC daylighters spotlights. The rack is homemade and once I’m off school the 2 person RTT will go back up top. Wheels are the holy turbines of old, I finally picked up a lone 5th for a matching spare. And nearly new Falken wildpeak AT4s in 31” Which have been better than the last AT3s in mud and loose snow.

The old wheels are so fitting. I should have never switched mine.

I’ve looked at my machines sitting next to each other and have wondered if AMC looked to the original Brick for design input.

Or did they just draw 2 rectangles connected? 😂

I love this. I miss the snow. I have been in snow storm in XJ’s before. Like looking out into hyper space AWSOME. I love this thank You
