Project: Green Beast
 
So this is what my Jeep looked like before I bought it:

Bought it in June

I recently repainted the roof rack a darker black!

Repainted all the flares a darker black as well

Ion Alloy rims to match the color of the Jeep

The Bible and the Constitution: two books I will always keep in my Jeep. I also have a sub in the back as well as a custom built raised platform for safety and to boost the sound of the sub.


The Projects on the Green Beast:

After my accident, I decided to work on fixing the flare with bondo... worked but didn't look nice.


https://cimg5.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.che...c1344d8404.jpg


Bought pair of side fender flares to replace the ugly bondo job from my accident last summer


https://cimg8.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.che...9755100227.jpg


Bought two new, thicker cross bars to support the roof rack


https://cimg3.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.che...3310f678eb.jpg


These were the crossbars which were on top before I bought the Jeep


https://cimg2.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.che...99a327bf5a.jpg


These are the original headlights and they are awfully dim.


https://cimg1.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.che...4bad9449c7.jpg


Bought a replacement pair of headlights. This time, they are custom LEDs!!! Time to get rid of these ugly halogens


https://cimg1.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.che...919cfc231e.jpg


Custom LED headlights, bout 300 for the pair but worth it. Should have them installed on Monday!

Plug and play system, just have to buy a new harness

Looking good. Word of advice, paint the handle of the hi lift red or yellow. That way when you use it, it doesn't get lost in the bushes. It can and will happen with a dark green or black jack. Ask me how I know.

Yup! That's exactly what I was going to do!
