I decided to make a list of what happened to my jeep from the time I got it to the Today. Well... here is the Before and after

I first got the Jeep It was bling out with chrome, chrome bumpers, Nerf bars, even grill inserts..:yuck:

First thing I did was lose the Nerf bars.. Get a 1 inch body lift, put 31 on it, and upgraded to warn bumpers, and shockworks rockers, bank header, new radiator

Then came the wreck...

Phase 2, get rid of the softtop... 3 pc bikini, flip the soundbar, put a RE4.5 lift, 35' tires. 8.8 rear lock rite locker, sye, 4.56 gears, blue torch Gas tank skid, New front bumper (custom look alike moore) belly up skid, 3 toggles that add 30 hp, new round of stickers.

phase 2C (on order or just got)

Cargo rack for the backseat area of my jeep, Front track bar bracket (I learned it does not work well without it) Front diff cover, painted the same as the rear (pics to come when I get them)
 
Those tail lights are awesome! where did you get 'em? And do they light up the lic plate too?
 
those magical toggles... That was mainly to see if anyone reads anything :) I was bored at work... had three toggles for the lights I never got.. so I put them in while waiting for something to do.

Those lights came from www.macs4x4products.com back before anyone esle started selling them
 
You can't put a heep in the truck gallery! :confused:

So when is the autopilot getting installed? :lol:

Are the diff covers better than the old ones or did you get them for :bling: ?
 
I like the Tar Heel sticker the best!
 
Some @sshole did not like that sticker so much and scratched it up, weent through the sticker and on the paint... poor sport

After 3 months of loseing parts, finding subsatutes, and going insane I have small upgrades but still enough to add to the list

I started off changing shocks, and thought I would do a shifter bracket snice I was waiting on other parts (ugh... still trying to get that worked out) New tie rod (alumnflex.. whoohoo) Raingler nets, seat covers... and fluid changes

(front diff)

If Trebissky posts another damned Army truck picture, I'm gonna re-shape that angle iron bumper of his with the Dodge.. :flipoff2:
 
lauren we go wheeling at the same places and besides it would ride better on the road. believe me. try and do what is considered the difficult stuff at uwharrie and i bet you will wish you had the long arms over those little short guys. i mean i know you are tryin to keep the theme of stubby, but come on...
 
you have nothing I desire...

smooth ride??? it is a jeep, what is smooth about it? I got a honda for smooth.

I have personally seen long arms get in the way at URE, long arms take away part of the underbody clearnce.. if you are on a very steep rock your arms get abused. They have thier advantages, and they have thier disadvanges, I prefer what I have. If you want to discuss this take it to tech.. in the mean time get out of my thread before I abuse my powers!! (yes, I have powers over here too ;) )

Hey, in case you forgot, those TRUCKS, 1/4 TON, 4X4, UTILITY are what gave ALL OF YOU the ability to go wheeling in your Toyotas, Dodges, Fords, Chevies, Nissans, and all these other things you cobble together out of parts and tubes.

And those Rockwell axles you all drool over... what kind of vehicles do those come off, again?
