Plan-B

Why not?

How about a set of vent visors for the windows? Cheap enough it won't bust the bank.

As far as wheels I found a list of 5 on 5 bolt paterns so if you see wheels off any of these on Craig's list you may find a set cheap.

I happen to like the ones that came on yours only because if you scuff one it's no big deal to find another cheap.

Note: 5x5 bolt pattern is also 5x127mm

I think that mine and Plan-B's bolt pattern in 5x4.5 But wow. You done some research. Where did you find that info?

jamaicanmecrazy

I can't take credit as I found it in a Google search "chevy half ton bolt pattern"

Yeah I am miffed also after reading a post in CF finding my ZJ is 5x4.5 also.
Now I'll have to buy adapters because I wanted to use my Grand Prix 5 stars I took off my Chevy half ton.
I also have a set of AR Tail Gunner's that are new also I bought for my S10 Chevy.
Or I bother a buddy to give me new rims again at cost LOL
Luckly I can get the AR rims cheap.

xtreme velocity

Why not get a set of inset rims? I mean dont get me wrong the grand prix rims do look good.(if they are the ones I am thinking of.) I have always though inset look good though. can ya post a pic?

jamaicanmecrazy

I might have a pic on the home pc, right now I'm camping.
I'm trying not to buy rims and use 1 of 2 sets I have.

xtreme velocity

I understand. Try and not spend a bunch of money for almost nothing.

Finally got the bumper fixed. kinda. On the side of the rear bumper it wont stay on. that slide on piece is broke. Not sure how to keep it on. any ideas?

Plan-B

what happened to your bumper?

xtreme velocity

It got ripped off while trying to pull someone out of the mud. It look bad without a bumper.

hi there, I am new to this site and with my latest project a 98 ZJ 5.2l Laredo.

I have read much of what everone is offering, all excellent advice.

Not sure if you were asked or sat back and thought about what you plan to do with the jeep. Once you do that setup a journal book and plan out some of ideas of what you want and then what you will need to do to achieve it. List out places to get the best price on the parts. Trust in the end it will be worth your build and it will help you stay on track to achieve it. Remember changing one item can result in the need to change something else.

everyon has a personal choice on a way to go. I am no different. I live in the Southwest desert so my build may be differnt from yours. Yet there will be a lot that is the same.

I suggest besides looks on the cheap to make your jeep stand out. You need to think protection. Steering box brace, hood lovers for heat extraction, for a little better performance and fuel a K&N air filter and Optima, orbital, or a good die hard battery for any and all accessories. If you do go with a roof rack keep in mind the change in miles per gallon. This is not to say do not get but make sure you can remove it for around town driving and put on for off-raod trips.

If you need a link for places let me know which you are using and I can offer ones you may not have.

My personal build is for a reliable off road camp adventure with highway manners.

Best of luck in your build and enjoy the ups and downs. Use the sites to help in tech advice.

Do you have pictures of you build?? I would like to see. And some pictures of where you go wheelin. I think it would be interesting.

howdy guys im kind of like "plan-b" but there really isnt any limitation that my parents put on me in the way of mods. to my jeep. basically though im kinda lookin for different bush gaurds/bumpers but im not looking for a 500$ bumper just somthing that makes it look cooler i only have a 2wheel drive which is a bummer. but a body lift would be cool. any ideas??
