It seriously has always been my dream to be able to really build a bad *** jeep like that. Since mine are always a DD its hard. But that doesn't sound like a bad idea. It's the coolest color too! It's that dark purplish color.

I need some ideas to get rid of this ugliness before I plasti dip. Oh and of course it's about to rain... Ugh.

I like that 35's on a 3 inch lift. It seems now it's uncool to have a big a lift. Everyone is going low cog

Well today was pretty lame... It looked like it was going to pour all day so I held off on the plasti dip. That was hard.. But I didn't want to risk wasting the 3 cans I have if it rained before it wasn't cured. So I went to my buddies house and we did an axle on his subaru and replaced shocks on a wrangler. Then I went to advanced auto and had to park next to that zj. And finally out if boredom and having a itch to plasti dip something I did my wiper arms. They were pretty beat looking and needed it. They came out sweet.

Actually alot of people ask me this and it's funny because it's something I haven't even thought of which is good I guess because that means it's not a problem. I ran them like this on my 95 which was black and now my 00 which is obviously silver lol but yeah no problems with glare I love them. To my knowledge I'm the only person who has them there. Not trying to sound cocky but I swear I started the whole angry eye thing I took the idea from my friends who did it to their Hondas YEARS ago and then it blew up I saw it everywhere. Same thing with the lights where I have them soon lol

How much did those spacers cost? And how much more lift do they give you up front? I'm looking to get some spacers for the front of mine
