Ruby's gets dressed up for Christmas
Hello and thanks for stopping by. 2 years ago I purchased my daughter her second Cherokee and decided it was time for one of my own. That being said I am proud to introduce to the forum Ruby. She is a 1992 Laredo with 130,000 miles
A month before picking her up I began purchasing parts and accessories with the intent of buying everything first and installing it all at once. This week the build began :cheers: The first item installed was the gas door cover purchased by a vendor on CF. http://i1024.photobucket.com/albums/...astankdoor.jpg Then wheels and tires Dick Cepeck rims - purchased a gift certificate from the "for sale" section of CF http://i1024.photobucket.com/albums/...thouttires.jpg Goodyear Wrangler tires 235x75x15 Walmart has them for $79 but will not install them on custom rims. Purchased the tires and drove to Sears for them to install http://i1024.photobucket.com/albums/...y/newshoes.jpg http://i1024.photobucket.com/albums/...iftatsears.jpg 3 1/2" Rough Country lift - purchased from the "for sale" section of CF http://i1024.photobucket.com/albums/...tinstalled.jpg Front, rear and swing arm carrier will be installed today. Purchased them on eBay by KARNAGE OFF ROAD AND METAL FAB. I could not of been happier with them and the process he went through to build exactly what I wanted. Not only were they made 100% custom at an extremely reasonable cost he sent me frequent updates on the build process and shipping. Absolutely the best customer service I've ever experienced. Bar none Front bumper - The built in lights are set at an angle on purpose. Two lights will be installed ontop of the loop http://i1024.photobucket.com/albums/...rontbumper.jpg http://i1024.photobucket.com/albums/...ntbumper-1.jpg Rear bumper - This is the only photo for now. Will update with a better one this evening http://i1024.photobucket.com/albums/...rearbumper.jpg |
The rear bumper and swing arm tire carrier are installed. The tire carrier has room for two Jerry cans, a 35" rear tire, hi-lift jack, and a spot for the license plate. After the spare tire is mounted it will block the third brake light. Any suggestions on how to rectify this?

Front bumper installed. In a future update the lights shown installed on the bumper will be mounted on the rear of the roof rack and 1 pair of Hella lights installed on the bumper and another pair installed on the A pillar or top of the roof rack. Any thoughts or suggestions on where to mount them?
