Looking good man! If I get another one I want a bright red one like that. I've got family down in the Greensboro area. I like that part of NC.

It looks like a regular red jeep, but it usually has two big *** dogs hanging out of it and a sagging rear end. So it looks like all the other Jeeps around town come to thing of it. It's pretty much stock minus a few cosmetic things. Hopefully that'll change over the next few months.

I live in downtown and work by the airport. I think I've seen your Jeep around the Sunset hills neighborhood?

Ha yep that's me! Not too many lifted jeeps in the city but there are a couple. Hey have you seen the black one with like 4.5" lift on 33s and a roof rack and stuff? I see him around a lot. Sometimes parked at those houses on west market right after the entrance where friendly merges?

Ahh, very cool. I was driving around last month looking at Christmas ***** and turned down one of the streets there and saw it. Great stance and nice size. We'll have to see one weekend if we can do some "light" wheeling.

Looks good! I like to see moderate builds like this. It's how I built my DD.

Welp spent all afternoon taping- I mean painting my fender flares and it turned out great! Used krylon fusion for plastic satin black. Also plan on painting my grill back to the original black with the extra paint.
