ok i started out with this thing a few months ago and i went a little overboard kinda quick. i bought it in january, when i walked up to it the first time it had a puddle of oil sitting under it that you could float an ocean going ship in. the chic i bought it from tried to replace the starter but after three weeks she only managed to get the thing halfway off. needless to say 15 minutes later i had the starter on it and started. it was leaking from the oil filter adapter but other than cosmetic stuff it wasn't that bad. it ran ok and it didn't smell like old gym socks. so i gave her a grand for it. i got it home and called up 4wd hardware and spent a good bit of money....


this is what it looked like when i first got it








nothing special....then i added a rubicon express 5.5 lift and 33's. along with an olympic rear rock bumper and an or fab front winch bumper









then i put on my roof rack















then i painted it and i'm trying to put my lockers in











its a work in progress. hopefully i'll have it finished in time enough for memorial day. we're going down to the superlift orv park in hot springs...of which i'm a member...its great. anyone and everyone should make a trip there sometime..its a blast!!!

 

Edit: never mind ...

 

looks good like the color

 

looks good. I love the colour. I'm looking to do something similar. What Brand/Colour is the paint? Is it rattle can? thanks

 

Nice ride!
can't wait to get mine rollin

 

post some bigger pics od the side shot on 33's please

 

Cool transformation. My XJ project is only two weeks old now- I believe I have all the mechanical issues resolved other than the cracked exhaust manifold. That I am just going to live with for now as it is pretty quiet once it warms up.

I want to see bigger pictures too- of the side as well as the bumpers (need ideas for my fabbing of bumpers- too cheap to buy them!).

 

 

yeah its rattle can. did it in a few hours in the barn. i think its krylon but i'm not sure...i'll be back at the house tomorrow and find out for you guys. thanks for the compliments.

the last one is having a little fun my first day down at hot springs....i'll have to get some more pics of the XJ tomorrow. i've added my winch and rubicon express 3/4 spacers to the front end to level it out some. i'll try to get some better pics of the tires too. they're dick cepek mud country 33-12.50's on pro comp 15x9 i think

 

i know is has nothing to do with jeeps but this is what i used to drive until some *** hat decided to steal it. i loved this truck but i grew up in jeep so i had to revert back to my heritage.
