so today put in new champion plugs, new wires, and distributor cap, also spliced in another NSS so i hope it shifts better now, its kinda hard to tell since my gauges dont work at all. put on some pro comp shocks on the rear to replace the Rubicon Express ones, rides a whole lot better! hopefully next weekend i can figure out whats wrong with my gauges and get this beast working properly again!

so this past weekend i build myself a new roof rack and customer one. the one i built for my jeep is called a Ninja Rack!!! also took the jeep to a mechanic monday and got it back tuesday. Gauges and radio now work. Gauges had a shorted wire, and the radio's ground was messed up. Everything now works like it should for now!

finally i have internet and here are pics of the paint job and rockers pretty much self explanatory, if you have questions about the process let me kno, i still gotta work on the paint, idk if i like it yet, i might just redo it and paint it red with a clear coat but we will see.
gotta strip everything u dont want paint on off of it first
then time to start sanding it with this
here are the pics of it sanded
and here is pis with the paint, rattle canned it desert tan, didnt come out as well as i wanted it too, got some work to do on it

the paint is lookin better than those pics, and here is the steps on building the rockers
cut off pieces of the front bumper and now it looks like this
the reason why im welding it to the jeep is i dont wanna put holes in the unibody just yet, plus ill just cut them off in december
sorry i dont have any finished pics, they are on my dads camera and i am not near that, but i will get them next time im in town or can take some more pics if ppl want them from my phone
