So basiclly this is my stock 1997 Jeep TJ. I have a few things that are planned for modifications on the Jeep but not till the summer most likely. Saskatchewan winters are not the most fun to be working on your vehicle so its just going to have to wait.

Any case, here is what she looks like after you spend a hour getting it out of a three foot deep ditch that was filled with snow.

Thats what she is right now. The colour is a little different but that will change.

Also I've added some photos of the interior, nothing of the seats yet, but I am working on recovering them with some black and grey vinyl. Just to add a little flare to it. You can see the 5.25'' PPI speakers that I've installed in the sound bar. Also my Pioneer CD player that was already in the Jeep when I bought it.

The plan were getting rid of all the little bits of chrome and just making it all black. I was thinking a satin black but we will see when that time comes. Currently the only new parts I have for it are the new stock bumper which is currently getting painted a nice satin black. Also I have a set of KC Daylighters that I will be putting on he new bumper when its finsihed

Also just like everyone else that modifies a Jeep a lift kit will be placed on. Not sure on which way I'm going to go but I know that I will be doing a 2 1/2 inch suspension lift and a 2 inch body lift. The only reason I'm doing this is because of the wheels and tires that I want to put on.

Wheels I'm going to be doing a set of 16inch, if I can find them in 16inch, American Racing ATX Series Chamber, in black with the teflon. Tires I was thinking of going with some 35inch Komho Road Venture KL71 Mudders.

So I finally got my Daylighters on. I just took the stock holes in the bumper and made them a little bit bigger to fit the larger bolt. Also the bumper is new and paint by a buddy of mine actually... The Jeep was a little dirty when I took the pictures so you can't tell how good the new bumper looks but it is done quite nicely. and you can see where I mounted the switch for the lights, just behind the ignition there, with enough room for another switch which should be added later this year for another set of KC lights, probably some Daylighters again but only time will tell.

So just recently I've added a little bit more to the Jeep. Just some stereo equipment for now, I'll get to the good stuf in a little bit here. Hopefully before the end of summer.

In any case I've just added a Pioneer 12" shallow mount sub with a Pioneer 760 watt amp to keep it pounding hard. I've also upgraded the deck to  Pioneer 5100UB deck. The only reason I didn't go with the Premeir is the fact the only difference was the 2 year warrenty which I didn't need. I've also started taking out the stupid 4x6's in the dash and I'm replacing them with some old Kicker K-40 4" speakers but they actually sound really awesome. I'll add some pictures when I get around to getting everything looking proper. Right now I've just made a quick box just to hold the sub but its too big and takes up all my cargo space and we all know thats already pretty lacking in a Jeep.

Again, thats it, hopefully more to come soon!
