First of all i want to say that I love your rig one of my favorite colors......just wondering if you have considered painting the center section of your bumper black just to kinda break up all that red on the front end I think it would look sweet with bedliner on that part.... Just my opinion for what its worth

 

I have debated it, but I chose to leave it for now. Mainly because I can't seem to take the bumper off without breaking things, but I also plan on a custom bumper in the near future. I like the rustolium bed liner, sprays on nice and even, hasn't chipped or flaked, and not chalky at all. The downside to it is it's tough to wash the dirt out of. Hit a few mud holes and I'm still cleaning it out. I wouldn't mind painting it if I choose to keep the stick bumpers for a while.

 

I have a 98 chili pepper as well. I'm only 2wd tho. As soon as the funds are available ill be changing that. I'm thinking just a little lift and some 31s for mine.

Good luck with your build Doc.

 

Thanks man, and good luck with yours, do you have a build thread? My first Cherokee I only went with a three inch lift and 31's, was nice for what I was doing, just some beach running. Now I'm a little bolder haha. I have a 4.5 " lift I just put on about a month ago, but I still need to upgrade my tires. Just waiting for my paycheck to be a little fatter, either 33" Baja claws or these 35" super swampers I found a deal on

 

Smoked my lenses all the way around, and forgot my holiday update, got hella 550 driving lights and a rampage headlight conversion kit

 

Put in all my new lights while at work, slow day at the firehouse

 

went with some buddies to low range 4x4 and used their RTI ramp. scored a 72, not to bad for short arms

 

ive been corrected, score was 712

 

Some pics

 

So installed the silver star ultra bulbs, cut and folded the fenders for the 35"s, removed the bumper caps and helped install a hack and tap.

 

Measured out the bbs to mount and balance my tires. I needed 8 ounces which after some math was 700 bbs. Luckily I do refrigeration work and have scales to measure the levels in tanks, so it only took a few minutes to count it all out. I want to post pics but the mobile App won't let me

 

Put on my 35's

 

so ive been looking around at seat covers. most are really cheap, and flimsy. others are super expensive, and it would be more cost effective to replace the seats. so im just going to make my own haha. i have a sewing machine and most of the time im ashamed to admit i know how to use it. but this time im going to make some sweet covers. im in the army, and have tons of molle gear, so im going to integrate that into the seat covers. i ordered some fabric, coyote brown 1000d cordura fabric, same stuff they is to make the outer shells of our body armor.on the back of the seat im going to sew in some webbing. i have some pics to show like what i want to do, ill upload them later. maybe if they turn out good i can sell some on here

 

Something like these

 

Put her name on it
