Well being this is my DD I originally wanted to keep it somewhat stock looking but I couldn't take the fender rubbing anymore... I cut and folded the fronts and I really like the way it came out!

 

Today was also a very good day, the doors on my jeep were pretty shot with rust holes and the inner seams are pretty much gone, as well as the front fenders have rust. I picked up 4 complete doors and 2 front fenders that are all rust free for $200. I'll be sandblasting them myself and using epoxy primer then painting them gunmetal. It'll be a learning project for me as my dad is a metal fabricator/auto body man, he will be helping me through the painting process!

 

Paint the chips and use some edge trim from Advance/Autozone and it'll look very clean.

 

I might paint them, but I doubt it. I have new fenders I'm going to paint and use hopefully in the next few months. I can't use door edge trim being I folded the seam.

 

I see your running some Kenda Cleaver's, How do you like the mud terrains?
I just picked up some A/T's for our 99 and they seam like a very potent tire. I've read some reviews that say they're a highly underated tire.

 

They are highly under rated IMO. I absolutely love them! For a mid tire they're very quiet, great traction in all seasons, mud/snow/rain. They are wearing very evenly with 17/32s tread depth left after about 15k miles. For $600 shipped I can't complain at all!

 

Well the rear washer pump hasn't worked since I bought it so I threw both pumps at it. By the looks of it they've seen better days!

 

I can finally say I have finished my degree for automobile mechanics today! Glad and also sad to see its come to an end. Glad to be certified!

 

woot! congrats.

 

Thank you! Greatly appreciated.

 

Well I've been tearing apart the doors I got so I can sandblast/epoxy primer and paint them!

 

After work today I pulled my Jeep in and gave it a very thorough inspection on the hoist, everything is actually doing very well. Only things I noticed are the transfer case is leaking slightly around the SYE which is an easy enough fix, and my tires are wearing faster in the center compared to the outer so I'll be bringing the tire pressure from 30 PSI to 28 PSI and give that a try!

 

Nice work man

 

Thank you, it's coming along fairly well so far. Some of my next plans are:

-Dirtbound Stubby bumper DIY kit
-Pick up some cragar soft 8s to replace the aluminum wheels
-install 4.5" RE Coils
-Shackle relocation brackets
-IRO double shear track bar

Plus many more.. Just need to find the time to do it lol.

 

Well the airbag light has annoyed me long enough! After reading codes, looks like I'm in need of an airbag control module. I just purchased one on eBay for 29.99!
