My Hi-Lift came in last night. I wanted to put it under the seat but the jeep isnt 60" wide, I didn't think of that. So I'll prob build a roof rack at some point. I've just been so busy at work it's hard to do anything anymore.

Got my front bumper off and measured for the new bumper :thumbup: The metal I have though isn't as high as the stock 6" though, it's 4" high so we will see how that turns out. And sorry for no pictures, I decided to fix my ipods broken screen and ended up destroying it. So if anyone has an ipod touch 32gb for sale hmu.

So I bought some black plasti-dip to do some angry eyes. Ace said It won't be here until tomorrow, I guess thats what you get for living an hour and a half away from anything. But then I decided to do my quarter panels red. So tomorrow I'll order Red plastidip to do my quarter panels. What do you guys think of that? I'll do my gas door Black and I want to stencil something on the gas door. SO give me some ideas please. thanks.

I feel your pain on the whole "living an hour and a half away from anything" problem. And I've never seen quarter panels painted anything except for black, you'll def be unique! I like it! :thumbup:

I'm surprised no one else has done it, well I'll start a new trend.

Haha...how much do you guys pay for a can

XJ ONLY 05-20-2013 09:06 PM

So I'm in the middle of plasti dipping my gas door, angry eyes, and the orange lights on the side by the headlights right now. So far I'm happy at how smooth it is when it dries

NewJerseyXJ609 05-20-2013 09:36 PM

About 5.60 a can... I'm doing my new chrome Kc's black right now for my roof rack.

So everything is finished, I did both my JEEP badges while I was at it. I'm really happy with how everything turned out. But my "Angry Eyes" arn't as clean as I thought they would be. So I'll prob redo em with Niteshade. I'll get pics at some point too lol.

Dude It probably would look sick. But I'm not sure I want to go do it yet. Maybe Ill get some tailights from a junkyard and test it out. but as of right now they're going to stay bright red.

Like it so far man, i'm the same way with money. Every penny pours right back into my rig. I have really bad money management issues :whistling2:

XJ ONLY 05-21-2013 09:40 PM

Haha I'm terrible with money. I eat a bunch too so all money goes to my jeep or food
