    All of the pictures vanished from my thread.

    I used the default editing on my PC (Windows)to reduce the photos to under 4mb and that let me upload them initially. I just opened the photo from my desktop, right clicked the photo and selected the resize option. It will give you multiple options for size but I found that 4mb or less will let...

    More Rotor & Brake Pad Kits

    Very nice! Any suggested upgrades for an 01 XJ? From living in Germany and now Hawaii I love Rock Auto they will ship anywhere and for a decent price too! Bonus, my refrigerator is covered with cool classic car magnets now and my son loves them.

    Hutchinson Rockmonsters vs Spyderlocks

    I prefer the design of the Hutchinson rockmonsters In addition to the information above, ex. they are legal, the rockmonsters lock the inner and outter bead. A reason for not choosing the rockmonsters could be the limited size selection, I think they only come in 15 in or 17 in.

    Looking for input on aftermarket exhaust

    I loved the MBRP off road only on my 07. I also had the JBA long tube headers. Together they were super loud if that is what you are looking for.

    01 Metal Cloak XJ !

    I stripped out the interior and added a layer of dynamat then dynaliner and an extra layer of dynapad in the floor. I used Dynamat Extreme, 1/2 inch Dynaliner everywhere it would fit, 18 inch in the doors and hatch.

    Take a Look at What Metal Cloak is Working On!

    These would be absolutely perfect for my XJ build. I hope they have a towel bar for the rear too if they get around to making them. They are probably too busy with the new JL to worry about us too much. I was also looking at Hooligan but I notices that they are not on their site anymore. I...

    01 Metal Cloak XJ !

    To get the reservoir where I wanted it, above the pump, I had to make a custom bracket an trim my inner fender a bit. Here It just clears the hood and is mounted to the Hydro booster like a JK kit.

    01 Metal Cloak XJ !

    It was hard to set up a ram on an XJ y link steering. I used a curry y link and a full PSC system. I think a crossover steering is in the future.

    Engine work. For the engine, I used a 4.7 stroker kit from titan engines to get started. I had the machine work done at a local shop including a 60 over boar and decking an matching an the new pro max head that I ordered from Quadratec. I also added a an aluminum valve cover to spice it up a bit...
