==========================================================
[August 18 2003]
New pics with tires reversed after tire rotation - I like it better this way WITHOUT the fancy raised white lettering!


[June 29 2003]
New BEACH pics below and on page 6.

[May 25 2003]
Got new CLEAR indicator lenses for the front of my Jeep.

[April 18 2003]
Installed 4.10 Spicer Gears and ARB Air Lockers front and rear this week.
Also got the Heavy Duty Short Shaft kit and CV Driveshaft at the same time!
My Jeep is TRANSFORMED! I can't believe how SMOOTH it runs now...and the 4.10 gears has got me some EXTRA good grunt now... very sweet.

==========================================================

Hi!

This is my second Jeep. It's a 2003 Black TJ Sport Soft-Top.
4.0L 6 cyl 5-Speed Manual with Dana 44 Rear and Trac-Lock Diff.

I upgraded to 33" tires - phat look!

My Jeep in this first pic looks like it's got lowered suspension despite a 2" suspension lift.

Below are shots with a 2" Body Lift installed. I'm very happy with this lift!
Good clearance, no ugly body gaps (black paint helps)

Right pictures show NEW clear indicators.
Painted 6" Warn Trail Flares - even these don't make the tires look legal!

The 2003 TJ has thicker padding covering the roll bars...
The sound bar has changed as well with two separate speaker pods and an interior light in each.
Check out my new Steel Double Tube Rear Bumper. It disguises the body gap of a 2" lift really well!This is a full 33x12.5" spare.

The right pic shows off the clear indicators lenses and chrome grill inserts.

Rims are American Racing 15x8" AR-136's wearing Goodyear Wrangler MT/R 33x12.5's

Stock TJ next to my Jeep. BIG transformation!!
