Before I drove it a swapped some parts around with my Other 97 and this is how she looked when I started drivin her...

And evenutally I I made a steel roll pan and relocated the plate to the tailgate, shaved the emblems from the fenders, modified my grill and added some bolts ons like wheels drop kit and lights and primer and she looked like this in the summer of 06..
Then came driving abuse and then it sat alot after i bought my Jeep... and I decided to paint her pretty for the next person to enjoy her cuz she is for sale... :dunno: soo...
