ok...gave her a quick wash yesterday:

 

got my wheels and tires on







after these pics i took off the bumper endcaps and trimmed the air dam thingy, wheels were rubbing a bit on it. besides, my new bumpers going on soon

 

it looks much better with the new wheels and tires than it did with the stockers

 

Ha yea forgot there was no '02 anyway I have looked at the thing already about what everyone paid and 5 g's is about what they go for around here. Just wanted to see what you got for yours just doin my homework yo. and X2 on the new wheels lookin good.

 

Looks awesome!


Maybe I'll see it around


Don't be surprised if a 6'6", 280lb dude walks up to you and starts yammering about how cool your Jeep is.

It's probably me.

 

haha, let me know if you want to meet up some time, i work downtown.

 

Nice, looks great being all black. Like somebody said in the beginning of the thread, you could bedline the bumpers and trim, making them black instead of faded gray.

 

thanks guys...ive actually got a winch bumper that will be goin on soon...just need to paint it. flares will be coming off soon as well, i might actually do that tomorrow so i can trim.

I like it because it's a Jeep thingy....Not a bad find....

 

did you do all of that today?

 

nah, sye friday night in about 2 hours (including time for rtv to dry)...did the front fenders in about an hour this afternoon.

 

dang... that would have taken me for-ever!

 

this was the first time ive done a sye by myself...the last time i had my friend do most of it...and i just kinda watched/learned. its a lot easier than you think. trimming the fenders is easy enough...use your cutting tool of choice, and have at it! you can follow the line on the fenders, so all u have to do is tape off to protect the rest of the paint.
