Why not slap on some 32's AT's on your truck and just DD it and get a cheap XJ for your wheeling?

Here's a couple pics... no real tests yet as it's been at the alignment shop. I had to order 1 deg. adjustable upper ball joints for it.

Looks sweet man. You've done some good work too it. Completely different 4x4!

After I BL my Ranger next week and put some new 33's and wheels on it, i'm gonna focus my attention back onto my Bronco. Its been neglected for a couple years now. Needs a bigger lift and some MT's
