What is your plan with the thin blue line theme? I know you were not in love with the paint scheme. Now that you've had time to sort of chew the idea over, what are your thoughts now?

Thinking about starting with the blue background with white stars at the front below the body line, transitioning into the red stripes, then the distressed black stripes with the thin blue line amongst them, then maybe "tatter" the black stripes in the Bedliner quarters in the rear. Still not sure though.

Yeah, it's gonna take a while, for sure. I think the graphics on the outside is going to be last.

Once a cutter, always a cutter?








Also beat the **** out of that pinch seam in the fender well... didn't get a pic for you guys though.

Anyway, no rubbing on the fenders or anything sharp now. Makes contact with the inside of the fender wells, but those are all smoothed out.

Yeah I should do my rear lowers soon too. Especially since that one on the driver's side has had that dent in it since before I bought the Jeep.

The passenger side is a lost cause, bottom is rusted out. So I won't be doing the traditional cut n' fold. I will probably cut above the rust, fold what metal remains inward and then weld in a piece of sheet metal. After, I will coat everything in seam dealer and then undercoat for a cool textured finsh.

That opens up the can of worms for a cut n fold tire carrier bumper. Expensive. Damn my wallet will be empty. Lol.

I don't even think it was done while wheeling. I think he just got backed into.



Went wheelin' today. VERY impressed with the tires. Wheeling on limerock is tricky anyway, but the Jeep walked up a pretty challenging spot so I was pretty happy.

Didn't get a whole lot of pictures, but it was a blast for sure.

Even worse, sometimes driving around town is more dangerous than off-road lol.
