Heh. When I look at WJ's WJ, I get this instant image of my mind of chaos happening on the outside, and "elevator music" version of "The Girl From Inpanema playing on the inside, a la the elevator scene from "The Blues Brothers."

Tee Hee!!!

BTW, Nice Jeep!

 

That's sounds EXACTLY like my drive to and from work everyday! Watching Jake & Elwood is how I learned to drive!!!

 

thats a really nice wj.

 

very sharp looking rig

 

Hey, how much did the initial lift, tires and rack set you back? I got a buddy with a 2000 and was liking what you did.

 

Well, I'm in Canada, so your prices will be somewhat lower then mine, and I don't remember the exact prices, but:

-Lift was around $1100-$1300 after my 14% taxes and other fees my gov't likes to squeeze outta me. (Local Shop)
-Tires (5 tires, 1 spare rim) were around $1500 after mounting, balancing, taxes, enviro fees, etc... (Local Shop)
-Roof Rack I think was around $300 - $400. (Local Shop)
-JKS Disco's (Highly recommend some sort of swaybar disconnect) $100 (Kevins Off Road.)
-Sliderz were between $250 - $350 shipped. (Kevins Off Road)

(All Prices In Canadian Dollars!)

So, under 4K CAD...Damn that stuff adds up quick...

Anything else, just ask.

Later.

 

Hello

What is the exact size of the tires?

Thanks

Mariano

 

looks good man. grand cherokees look really sweet if you build it right

 

Hmmmm....Haven't updated this post in a while...

'Bout time to bring it back to life.

Here's the last couple of things I've done to the WJ:

The RB1 Nav Radio upgrade:




And I had to remove the trim piece from above the steering column (Which just pulls straight out) and then the gauge cluster (4 screws, 2 top, 2 bottom) to mount the antenna.





There is a small ledge behind the gauge cluster that is a great place to put the antenna...




Then just feed the wire from the antenna across to the radio opening over the vents. Plug in the new radio harness (or adapter if pre-2002)






I used a cheap wiring harness adapter that I had to put together, but It didn't work out so well, so I had to eventually spend a few more bucks on the Mopar harness...



And install:

 

And my latest addition...

A "Trail Rated" bumper!!


Here's some pics.












































Later.

 

wow i never thought i'd like a built WJ so much

Who are you tryin to run over with that bumper! Your WJ is bad ***. Good work.

 

Those are some mighty purdy seats in there! All kidding aside, that's a sharp looking 2nd gen GC you've got. Nice build goin!

 

I really am enjoying this thread. I myself just picked up an 04 wj and looking forward to its future. Subscribed!!!!!!! That bumper is AZZ Bad
