No i actually painted them. I cleaned them off, used some steel wool to ruff them up and get some of the pin stripes off, then used index cards to block off my tires, then primed them and finished with Truck Bed liner.

Actually havent gotten that far yet but im hoping there isnt going to be a problem. I was going to do it but i wheeled the other day and tied my sway bar up with some 550 cord and it fell down and the sway bar mounts got all jacked up so i have to fix that. Definitely not a good thing! haha

Super nice Jeep. Shame what happened to the red one, thats pretty much my dream build. I love the red/black look!

New one is looking good, though! You got a VERY solid setup

Haven't done much to the jeep. But picked up a new toy.

Trek Fuel EX8 for some downhill action this summer/fall.

New chassis skid plate finally came in for my quad. Took the dang store three weeks to get it to me. Ended up being a lot nicer then a thought. I got a really good deal on it so I was worried it would be a piece of junk. But its acraully really thick and had a good mounting pattern. Hopefully ill get it on today! About to start my injector upgrade on the Cherokee!

I was also able to get the JKS sway bar brackets installed onto the rustys skid plate. Not exactly sure if this is where they were supposed to go but they work very well. The only problem i run into is that when i turn the wheel all the way to one direction or the other my tire catches the brackets. Something i need to think about correcting. Maybe move the mounts higher???

Also for some odd reason my drag link hits my passenger side way bar mount. Any ideas why?

Took the new bike out for a ride. Borrowed my friends Thule rack and realized how nice they are, definitely need to pick one up.

And the reason why I took her out was to try out my new stem. Dropped its length by 60mm and threw on my new ODI grips with custom etched lock rings. Its the small things that matter.

How do you like the long arms, I'm seriously thinking about investing in them.
