Here's a crappy photo of the trimmed front fenders. I started adding some cheap Walmart Baja lights to the rig. My drill couldn't keep up so it took forever and was only able to get two done. I used the stock luggage rack as a lightbar. Measured it out and marked it with a sharpie then started drilling. Hopefully I'll be able to finish up tomorrow.

Did a little mall crawling. Ill do some wheeling this weekend in Suffolk and hopefully get some photos up.

My current goals are to get my extended brake lines in the front on and my homebrew disconnects this Friday morning.

I've got a hitch out back and I just paid for some front hooks and brackets so I've got recovery done for now, Sony next aim us protection. Skids first And then sliders I think. Oh And of coarse get those lights wired up.

they're like 24 bucks a pair at Walmart. Not the best but worth the cash. I'm no going to use they're wiring as They don't include a relay.

I started cutting and folding today. After I removed the bumper end caps I marked each spot weld with a red Sharpie so I'd know where they were. Then started cuttin'! Then I started hammering with the rubber mallet. BTW its much easier to hammer with the tires off.

I added poor man disconnects today. We used heat and a ball joint press to remove the old sway bar link bolts which were a HUGE pain. But the new disconnects only cost me like 7 bucks! So that's full of win!

Anybody got any ideas for a license plate? A couple I'm thinking are:

CAFN HGH caffeine high (I'm a huge coffee drinker/snow )
DBBL TAP double tap from zombieland
GETN4LO
HNT ZOMB hunt zombie all variations of zombie hunter or zombie slayer I can think of are taken.
4LOCRWL

Any other ideas Jeep or zombie related?

Got to do some wheelin' today at Starr Motors. I need to install my longer brake hoses. I can't use my disconnects because the hose lines will be too tight. Anyways here's a photo of me flexin' out!

Nice I might do something very similar!

For the 25 bucks those lights are definitely worth it. I still have to wire them all up and everything but for now they will work great.

I think BTL WGON is still kinda zombie ish. HNTZMBES is still kinda in contention.

What's the light mod?
