Love the way its looking, but you are going to tear off those rear lights, trust me I have seen it happen

 

20$ for the pair, so i'm not too worried, I'm done wheeling for now.
Streets only till I have money to afford tearing it up.


I just put the bumper on, I also wleded a new slab for the trackbar to fit, got it all working. I'll have pictures tomorrow.

Cutting fenders tomorrow and welding the lights onto the bumper

 

Well I planned on cutting the fenders and welding the lights onto my bumper today...

But after a 12hr day... I can hardly walk.

Going to go eat and see if my legs feel better, I really want to get this done...

 

Dude, do you always work on your rig barefoot ? Ha! j/k How did those spacers / shackles work out for ya? I wanna lift my jeep just a bit and was thinkin about this setup. Killer bumper btw!

 

Well I only put the spacers on so far. Shackles are going on sunday I think, maybe today not sure.

And 99% of the time I am barefoot, I hate shoes, I don't know why.
Hobbit feet man.
all my friends say I got slave feet.

But I painted the bumper, the Grill, and the light housings metallic.
Looks nice.


Last night I welded my light brackets on.
Wired up my lights


I put the Hella roof lights on the bumper, and the 6" offroads too.

 

Work is making it slow... I still havent cut the fenders.



4 of my studs and nuts broke off when I drove it to get it aligned...

They wanted 100$ to put 4 studs on and 4 nuts... LOL

I went and spent 14$ and put them on today in the pouring rain.

Alignment is tomorrow...
They want 79$ for it to be aligned though...

 

Man, the algignment did wonders...

I't feels 100% different, and even the brakes feel better.
I love the smooth ride, and the no fighting!

 

Sweet!

Now get that bumper on there and show us how it looks!!!! lol No pressure.

 

Bumper, with lights moved and welded. I'm replacing those 50$ peice of **** lights in the middle though...



Trackbar Adjustment, saved me 60$...

 

do you know what a trackbar does? theres no way that I would trust that weld job to save my life or even others on the road. do it right the first time so you dont kill anyone.......

 

The weld doesn't really do anything.
The bolt was drilled through the stock parts, but that was just incase we needed it.

 

Didnt see the bolt was just looking at the weld. Still scary. I have not see one yet that the new hole didn't wallow out on them. I can understand saving $$ but there are things you don't skimp on.

 

I'm 18. Stopped working then, and it was the only way I could drive it. It is my only vehicle so..

Now that I'm working 12hr days constant, I think I'll invest in an adjustable one.

But I live in Florida and I need to get my Tint first, 205$

 

Why do you need to get tint first? I would think an adjustable trackbar would be higher on the list than cosmetics. Bumper looks great though!

 

Sorry it took so long, but I traded the Jeep...

Don't worry! I plan on re-trading for a better jeep soon


As of now, I got a:

1997
F-150
Supercab 3rd Door
Stepside
4x4
20" rims
3" body lift


Its got new paint and such so I should have NO PROBLEM trading it for a way nicer jeep. If not I'm selling it for 5-6 and getting a jeep for 1800$ and 4k to play with on it.
