nice looking yj!!!
just taking that UGLY light bar and that bug deflector off makes it look tons better.
but the black out wheels and tires make the jeep IMO..

nice job

Thank you.Yea the light bar was terrible, and to make it worse it wasn't even wired in & all the lights were corroded & didn't work. The last ugly thing left is that front bumper, which i'm working on, after i recover from the lift. Lol

yeah i read in another thread that you are looking into a stinger.
i have a tube bumper my self and dont mind them, but they a definitly dont fit the aggressiveness of your jeep

Haha plan for spare is. Hopefully don't need one. Lol. After I bought the lift, paid someone to put it on and bought the 4 tires, I'm broke. Haha. And I'm not painting it pink anymore since you painted yours pink. I don't wanna copy your style.:D

Yea. I guess it depends on what look your going for. There's just too much going on with the tube bumpers for me. I wanted my Jeep to look agressive but I still don't really think it does. I dunno just looks too plain to me?

Sure it is:cool: I don't do anything extreme that I would need a spare for, but I guess anything can happen. I never really thought about looking for a used one. It doesn't have to be anything great anyways.

Yes, get a spare tire. You can't dodge all the sharp objects in the road. Excellent example, I was in a rental pick-up truck the day I was flying out to move to the UK and as I was going through the car wash I got a HUGE puncture from a piece of re-bar sticking out of the concrete. Enough to let all the air out by the time the carwash was done. They plugged the tire but it only lasted half way to the airport before I had to stop by a dealership and get some more air. When I parked at the airport it was almost on the rim again.

That being said, I have not had a spare tire for my jeep since 2003. Knock on wood.

Yeah, I love the bright body, dark accents.

Thats my plan with mine. Chrome on a Jeep = Fail.

What brand lift kit? If I ever do a lift I'd want 2". Now all you need is a nice aggressive bumper with a guard and a winch. Thing would look sick!

Long story. If you look at the pictures before. It had HUGE flares on it, the front ones. I attempted to cut them down & marked everything wrong. Haha. I'm still in the process of finding just stock front flares. It kinda looks like it's going to fly away now. :rofl:

id love to do that, but when the mechanic tears the engine down to figure out what went wrong, it will be pretty obvious y it went wrong. riht now, its dying on its own, may take a lil longer, but that should be fine

I just use a 4wd.com sticker so no one can actually tell there's not a lock in there. :eek:

if u drain all the oil and drive it around, the engine seizes up. and knowing my dad, he would want to know y it seized up. and since it wouldnt cost us anything to have it torn down in a situation like that, then he would have it torn down. thats the down side to knowing the owner of a shop.

Lol what kind of car is it?

haha, cept ford engines are pretty good. this will be the first one of ours that didnt make it to 200,000 miles.

90% of all cars we have had are fords, dads step dad worked at a dealership so we got his employee discount
