The ugly 89
Just bought this jeep for $1400 and have done nothing to it so far besides fresh fluids and a little interior cleaning and oh yeah lots of woods time 
I have ordered a RC 3" lift that should be here sometime this week and hopefully will be on this weekend, but no wheels and tires yet so ill have to run the stockers for little bit. Anyway here are the pics so far, ill keep more coming as the build goes on.

Nice project to start with would make a great canidate for a spray can makeover like I did...Who need a fancy paint job when you like to run it thru the woods anyway and wheel it like it was intended for........

Thank ya sir. I have actually thought of a rhino liner paint job or if you go to Tractor Supply you can buy tractor paint by the gallon for around $20 bucks and it actually turns out pretty good.
