Heres the first day i picked up my baby. all clean and pretty =]
My next upgrade was a 2 inch budget boost and 16x8 mb gunner 5 wheels with some 31" BFG A/T.
Flexing it out a little bit.
Next upgrade is some powdercoated MOAB rubicon 17" wheels on 32" BFG M/T.
In the middle of all this i blew my trans and rear end in the same week, 3 grand later i now have a detroit trutrac locker in rear and an unbreakable transmission.
Next added to the list was a 4" zone offroad lift kit. and a new set of rubicon wheels and tires.
next i made a custom fiberglass ported sub box, oh my good a pain in the a$$.
then i figured id save 600 dollars and make my own roof rack, ill show a few pics in the making of it.
here is the rack all painted up and mounted on my studly jeep =]
kind of hard to see but here is a picture of my custom cb antenna mount. then another picture of my custom cb location in the exsisting ash tray thingi.
after that i fabbed up the radio bezel to accept a double din clarion in dash tv.
heres a few pictures.
primed it up, now a clearance picture
fits nice and snug.
next i did a home made dual steering stabilizer.
i sold my fiberglass sub box and made a custom spare tire sub box with storage below still for amp,car jack,tow strap, sockets.carpet doesnt match =/ but oh well.
I hardwired a garmin nuvi 200 so i dont get lost.
I installed some white gauge faces, makes it look real purdy.
My custom built snorkal that saved me a few hundred dollars =]
finally my last project is my front winch mount steel bumper.
heres a few pictures in the making still.
i added 1 inch tubing to the bottom for a heavy duty radiator support.
updated picture of bumper and jeep
finished bumper and mounted winch up, im satsified =]
