Making great progress on the build.... next time your buddy hooks you up with more of those LED's - I'll take some if the offer is still there.

 

Thanks! And Ok no problem!

 

I think I'm gonna dip my wheels just for the heck of it.. And protection...

But what color is the question..

 

RED!!!!!

I'm about to pick up some ravines with some 31s that ima dip black

 

Well I've got the whole silver/black/lime green thing going. But if I do them lime green it will be too much. There is a fine line between looking good and being butchered. But at least the dip is removable.

Maybe I'll do one green, one purple, one blue, one red. Lol

 

Woohoo got pulled over in ocean city tonight for my tires sticking out too far. Cop was really cool about it though. No ticket.

He must not know that "stance will make her dance"

 

See it irritates me when cops do that. They are looking for a reason to pull you over to see if they can find anything suspicious. I had a cop in Columbus pull me over because he said my exhaust was too loud then I told him it was factory and he got pissed and then tried to pry with more questions. Needless to say I told him to take a hike or get a call from my attorney. The whole thing lasted 20mins totally ridiculous.

 

This is so great - I may just put that in my sig

 

My jeep was in dire need of some cleaning... So I took the better part of the day and cleaned inside and out . Next weekend I'm going to be working on the heep at my buddies house so I should have some updates then.

 

So im trying to make some plans for a jerry can mount. I could easily just strap it up in the roof.. which is what i might do.. but im thinking about fabbing something up that will hold it in a tad better. I dont mind hacking up my roof rack alittle bit to make it my own.

I popped the wind fairing off and tomorrow im going to weld some light tabs to it

 

You must not park in a garage lol
My last xj on 4.5 and 32s with a rack didnt fit in my garage with nothing in the rack

 

Haha nope no garage parking for me. I just park out in the alley. Im not worried about it being tall. I just want to make something so that i know its sturdy and aint going nowhere. I mean i used 2 wratched straps just to see how it looked and it was tight with just them. But id like to get alittle more creative.

I was initially going to mount my firestik to my roof rack but i decided not to because for one, i like the look of where i put it, and secondly on the rare occasion i go to atlantic city it would be anoyying slapping the parking garages.

So i just found out about this event. I need to get going on the build! Cool jeep events never happen close to me and this is right litterally around the block! Time to kick the build into high gear. I plan on entering the xj, and i plan on winning

 

Hey how would you go about dipping rims? I picked some stock ravines with some half tread 31s and I wanna dip the wheels black

 

It's easy actually. First be sure to clean them up good. You don't need to sand them or rough them up at all. Just make sure all the brake dust and grime is off of them. Take an old deck of cards that you don't need and put them in between the lip of the rim and the tire. That will stop over spray from getting on the tires. Which is a heck of alot easier than taping them. Overlap each card about a quarter of the way. Then just make sure you do light even coats and you'll be golden. You'll need 3 cans to do 4 wheels most likely
