September COTM Submission
Jeep "Dragoneer" - Full Airbrush Custom XJ
I have had this old Jeep for over 10 years and bought it stock. Me and this ol' Jeep have been through everything together. I have had her offroading and mudding in all sorts of places in Southern Illinois, Missouri, and Wisconsin (I rather trail and climb than mud though).
I had just started airbrushing last spring and was tired of airbrushing on paper so I decide to practice on that old rattle can blue Jeep of mine. So I brought the header panel in the house and played around with it. I like it so next the hood came in. After that I spent 2 months in the back yard under a pop up canopy airbrushing this Jeep. Now I gotta get it performing as good as it looks..... so along came all these upgrades below. Hubby helped me swap the axles, lift, tires, etc this spring.
