This looks really clean looking

I've got an extra set of rotors if you need them after that tire falling off experience.

Dude loving the build, so many shortcuts we can't take here with mods. We have fender flare laws, bumper laws, maybe rear reflector laws, haha. Anyways I'm lovin the flag. Been flying one off my jeep since the 4th and no cops have stopped me yet even though it sometimes covers my plate at stop lights (though none have been directly behind me yet). Also I have a sub jerry-rigged in. Its from a 90s surround sound for a tv, no amp needed because of that, so I have the rear speakers out and the wires from them put right into the sub. And the cone is dry and almost 100% deteriorated so there is a border of camo duct tape acting as a structural part of the cone lol. Id be mad if it was stolen, not that I payed a lot for it, but because I wont be able to find another for free in my basement again lol. But I took a couple days and did my rear windows in 5% too and live in a small town. Anyways, sick build

Haha thanks! Yea cops here are pretty lax sometimes lol.. I've had one slow down and sit behind me for a bit when I had it on once and then sped off.. Maybe the blue light from my amp more than the flag haha... And that's sweet! Haha gotta love a lil jerry rigging when it works!

So I found a decently close color match for the motor.. Pontiac blue is almost a perfect match!! Now to decide as to weather I wanna make this a full blown wheeler, or a show truck with a lil weekend warrior in her....

So today got kinda fun... Stingers have their purposes and in my case today, keeping this moose under the rig rather than flipping over. Ya live and learn, time to replace yet again another header panel and grille..

Went out for a lil fun on my way back from picking up a set of 285/75r16 km2s for free!! Have some pretty decent tread left and hold air aswell! Still surprised my parents put up with the fact that I have a motor and 2 sets of tires in the garage....

Looking good man. We Dont have any mud flap laws or fender laws or anything here either. Pretty much all you need is a tail/brake light, headlight, horn, and seatbelt. O and a mirror. You Dont even need a windshield here to be legal

You should upgrade your control arms. Looks like you wheel a lot and those stock control arms are kind of thin

I'm picking up some coils and a trac bar along with a drop pitman for a 5.5" lift and then saving up for a long arm upgrade kit. From there it's all going in along with extended driveshafts so I can run 7.5" of lift. So in short they will definitely be replaced soon!!
