Well I figured I better start a this before I for get everything iv done and everything I plan on doing!!

The first thing was a head gasket to get her running good. Thing was cake walk seeing how iv done it on my WJ 3 times.. Damn 331 heads....

Next thing was take the trim off the sides and then took my torch and heated the bumper caps up so there nice and black agin.

The next thing I did was the head light conversion when with some glass headlight assemblies with some 5000k hids and a new harness there nice and bright.

Now the best and my favorite is.. I just ordered a 4.5 Rough Country X-Series lift. I'm pretty excited about it. For tires I'm running some 255 75 17 BFGoodrich Mud Terrains. This weekend I'm going to buy some rims for it.

So this is my build start!! Enjoy ; )
