some upgrades and mods
Hopefully putting in new drilled and slotted rotors, ceramic pads, both front u-joints, and tinting out all my taillights, blinkers and reflectors. That is if all the parts come in.
and custom 10" sub box to come (fiberglass/wood frame) (will be molded into rear passenger side pocket)

I agree as well, it was miss posted. I did it on my phone not a computer. I just hate people that have to rudely point things out just for the simple fact of doing it. Idk dude just urked me. I'm over it.

Drill and slotted rotors are very nice when I get more money I want to get rear Grand Cherokee disk brakes with these.

I'm going to take a bunch of pics and write out how I did everything and post it, should be this weekend. Vht nite-shades its the spray coating I hear there r two kinds and u want the one with part number sp999.... I got it on amazon for 13.36 with free shipping.
So far I know you want to wet sand with about 1000 grit to remove the tail light shine and give it something to adhere to. Then wipe it down with an alcohol pad and don't touch the surface after cleaning. Then apply 3 coats let dry and then 3 coats of a nice spray clear coat (don't go cheap) the final cost should only be 20 buck or so. Also make sure you check your state laws (they all differ) about tinted lights, prob won't be a prob if u only use 3 coats, the more coats the darker they get. Also 1 can should be plenty.

The ZJ disc swap has a wright up in the "xj wright up section".
I would agree that this needs to be moved out of the fab section. I would have posted the same thing jcwclm did, as your original post didn't have any questions or information pertaining to fab!
Not starting drama, just that I see where he was coming from.

Moving to chat.
Cool it with the bickering and language. If your not a moderator, there is no need to act like one,simply report the post as you are suppose to, that way a moderator can deal with it. We want to help new members learn how things work, not drive them away.
OP, thanks for posting, just watch what sub forum you chose to post in!
