Thats funny- well, until it happens and my bank account does hit the $-0-. HA.
I'm more excited about this 12 year old Jeep than I have ever been over any new car I've ever driven off the lot. Crazy, huh? I stare at it like a newborn baby.

well the addiction happens even to us girls. while my friends are shopping for clothes and reading glamour magazine I'm shopping for 4 wheel parts and reading Off Road Adventures. And I love to get in the mud, the addiction started when we bought Polaris Four Wheelers. This is the same thing only better. I'm totally addicted.

I've got the same exact jeep. Same year and color. Slightly more miles. Good luck with the build and just have fun with it.

We are Northwest Houston too, Jones and Grant Road area. My husband is a metal artist by trade so he has a shop and all the tools to install himself. He fabricated my brush guard yesterday and will put finishing touches today then I will post pics. I am going to show him pics of your lime green accents on the undercarriage, I want some! I want, want, want right now. Everything I want is $500.

Forgot to reply about the bumpers, yes we finished front and back then I took the side moldings off (by myself). That's painstaking work. I finished the passenger side yesterday and will work on the drivers side today. I'm a girl who likes to get dirty!
