Picked this Jeep up for a project back round 09. Few months later by Blazer motor blows and I start running into money problems and can't fix it. So this $1000 project is now my DD.
Here she is the day I got her. Power everthing and everthing works.

Lower trim was falling off, So I ripped it the rest of the way and used some rattle can bedliner on the lower body. Also tires were in bad shape and I hated the rims. So when I found some black steels with some %50 duelers for $200 I jumped on it

Started having some overheating problems. After replacing a few parts and pulling some hair out. I ditched the old closed, and got a 2 row open system.

Put over 10k miles on the Jeep in a few years and I have to say it was a great truck for what money I had in.
My money situation started to improve, and one of teh first things I did was get a new car. 2010 VW Jetta(No pictures).
The Jeep got put on the back burner while I focused on other project.
Started playing tournament paintball again


Put this together one night

My friends told me I was quite proud
