This has been a busy week for me. I was finally able to install my coil spacers and swap out my stock X components with some Rubicon components. Also, traded out the Goodyear SR-A's with some BFG MTs...yay!









This set up fits my needs perfectly. The Jeep is my daily driver, yet I still like to run the trails any chance I get. I felt the X is very capable off the lot, but I wanted to address some weak points; ie the stock tires and the lack of rocker protection. Because of my budget, I sourced second hand parts and installed them with the help of my wife. It was definitely a trial by fire, but this forum and all its members helped me out tremendously.

looks good

did you paint your hinges?

Yes, with Duplicolor bedliner. It came out pretty well.

Mine are rusting, i keep cleaning it off, but eventually it will kill my paint, plan on painting them black when it does. I like the look.

HappyCurmudgeon

of course with the silver, you have impeccable taste.

Nice tires!

Looks good. I will make a suggestion that will not cost to much... install some spacers. Prior to installing my lift and larger tires, I put the spacers on, then put the wheels back on for the heck of it, and was very surprised how much of a difference it made. I posted a few pics around here somewhere with the before/after with simply spacers.

I agree on the spacers, it also gives you a bit more stable feeling on hills (and cornering)

I scratched the heck out of the joint of the hinge taking the doors on and off this summer. This will be my first time in a real winter environment and did not want to risk rust forming due to the road salt. The bedliner went on easy and holds up well. I definitely recommend it!
