Thanks, I'm using a miller 135 pretty sure they don't make them anymore my dad bought it a couple years ago when he was building his jeep. Would like to upgrade someday but as of now I'm having no problems with it.

KC Hilites 1004 LED 4" Clear/Red Round Tail/Brake Light : Amazon.com : Automotive KC Hilites 1004 LED 4" Clear/Red Round Tail/Brake Light : Amazon.com : Automotive
I think I found some tail lights to use. I really like the genright litedot but 200 for lights is a little much so I think I'll go with these and spray that smoked tail light stuff on it make it a little darker.

Real bored in class so let's skip to Christmas my wonderful grandma somehow knew I needed a riddler diff cover, she is just the best!






Painted it a nice black and yellow, thing is so beefy! I can smash it into rocks all day.
Hopefully she will get me one for the rear axle for my birthday

I also got a gopro from my parents. I still need to buy video editing software.

Also my loving girlfriend got me a sweet sticker!!

Dude, I want one of these stickers, where can I get my hands on one

Good to know the welds are holding up, im buying a hobart 140 with income tax and since i only got 110 its my only option. But ive read 100 reviews and theres nothing bad.

Your builds giving me inspiration

Yesterday before the game I spent sanding down the fenders and putting some putty down on them it really sucked I hate body work. I'm going to repaint the jeep soon because it has faded a lot due to cheap paint so I will be repainting it yellow and debating on painting the new fenders yellow as well or black to add some contrast.

Got all of the lights in today so tomorrow I'll try to hook them up. Way to much calculus homework these days! Anyway this weekend I may be putting a couple things up for sale like the 8.8 along with the brake kit, mounting kit, riddler cover, and whatever else I have for it. Also going to break the ruler out and get some kind of idea for how much steel i'll need, looking to order 1.5x.120 DOM and 3/16 plate.

Dude, that's such a sick build. How old are you now then? I'm 17 and could never fund doing all of this. Still such an awesome rig though
