Check the alt/battery.

Then test the CPS!

Will it crank? Do you have fuel in the rail? Fuel pressure is...? Do you have spark?

Been pretty busy lately so I haven't really had time to post on here. Update on the jeep- it turns out it was the battery post connector had been corroded some and I had to replace that now she is fine. I ended up getting stuck again a few nights ago. I was back on a trail (at night again) and it started raining and I hit this rut that was pretty deep (my buddy with a Chevy on 44s rutted it out a few weeks ago) and I ended up dragging differential. I wasn't going anywhere. Had to call my friend at 4 AM and he came out there at 8AM an had to yank me 3 times with his F250 to get me out. There was no where to hook my winch up to so I just ended up falling asleep for a few hours until he came at got me. My jeep actually sleeps pretty good haha. As of right now not much has been going on mod wise money is kinda tight right now but I have some more stuff planned later down the road. I am thinking about going 35s when these 33s wear out. I like that LCOG look and 35s on my 4.5" will look pretty good.

Here's a pic from the other night

i would say keep it as is, but it's your jeep. i'll photoshop it for you if you want. that way you can decide if you like it or not. you'll have to wait til i get home form class tonight though.

Yeah man actually that would be really awesome if you did that for me! I can't really explain how I want to do the good but here's a pic to show y'all what I mean

Basically the same Bedliner set up as him. All the way down from the pinstripes and the raised parts of the hood. The rest would be left white. My Plasti dip is peeling bad and I kinda wanna do this

I'm thinking about doing the "trailhawk" thing too...

Why don't you just plasti dip it?? This way if you don't like it you just peel it off...

Yeah true but I think I'm just gona say F*** it and Bedline it my Plasti dip is peeling bad on the bottom.. I know I can always re apply it but I just want somethin permanent I think. Also I like the "trail hawk" design as you said I think it'll look sweet cuz my cherokee has the whole white/ black theme going on.
