White Noise

Went to Uwharrie today, and loved every minute of it again. Not too many pics, but a few.

Even let the wife do a little driving today, she was scared to death (of breaking something) But she did fine.

Man those tube doors are ugly! LOL jk

 

[BigClay]

LOL, thanks Noah, but my whole jeep is ugly haha function > form

 

[BigClay]

Got the doors back on, but I striped one of the freaking torx bolts on the wiring harness, so next year taking the doors off might be a challenge. Heading to Uwharrie again on Saturday!

 

[BigClay]

Well the front bumper will be going to a new home today. Now I need to get that ARB painted up and installed.

 

[spraypaintman]

you should paint it yellow!

 

[BigClay]

Haha, trust me, it has crossed my mind, but I guess I will stick with the good 'ole tried and true black for this one.

 

[spraypaintman]

maybe yellow and black cheetah prinT!

 

[BigClay]

Or black and white zebra print!

 

[spraypaintman]

word!

 

[BigClay]

Well finally got the ARB and xd9000i mounted up today (thanks Travis! )

We had to cut the ARB for in the "i" winch to fit, I think it looks really good with it.

Here is the winch

Here is the way the ARB looked before primer and paint

Here is it primed and ready for paint

Then I painted it with Rustoleum Hammered Silver spary paint.

Here is it on the Jeep, not quite 100% finished, still need to attach the roller fairlead and touch up the paint where the welding burned it, but overall it is ready to go.

Tomorrow the final touches will be done to it!

That sure looks good Clay. I had a great time with the install. Don't forget to tell ARB that the brackets where FUBAR.

BEEF! Looks awesome! Now you won't need lockers, just pull yourself up if you don't make it

 

[BigClay]

Travis, thanks again man, I had a blast putting it on with you. John, I still need to get the aussie in, but at least now I have a back-up plan in case i get in trouble

 

[BigClay]

Here it is, all finished up, except the ARB sticker on the front of the bumper, once the paint dries it will be going on. I love the silver, and it will look awesome once the rest of the jeep is apinted flat black.

 

[spraypaintman]

looks good man!

 

[BigClay]

Thanks man! Next is the rear tire carrier!

 

[BigClay]

Got the rear bumper on today!

 

[95GranZJ]

that looks sick!! Cant wait to see it in action at URE!
thats the matching ARB rear right?

 

[BigClay]

Thanks man. The rear bumper is home made (not by me though), I think ARB only makes a front bumper for the ZJ.

 

[95GranZJ]

oh okay. Wow! whoever built that did a really nice job!

 

[BigClay]

Mounted the hi-lift today.

 

[benXJ]

i like the idea of the painted ARB and rear bumper and the car painted black....most of the time you see the opposite.

 

[BigClay]

I think it will look good. I pulled her in the garage last night to start on the hood.

 

[BigClay]

Started working on painting the hood
