This is the way im going to paint it.

The bottom will be bed liner but the rest will be paint.

 

[chrwilkins30]

Just order the 15x10 classic locks from 4wheelparts.

Will post picks when i get them.

Also plan to put the body lift on thursday and if not done continue friday. i can wait for it to be on then i can install the bumper.

 

[chrwilkins30]

Well 4wheelparts called and the rims are out of stock. They said mickeythompson doesnt even have them. The only reason I ordered from them is because they are the only one that said they are had them. Go figures. This just gives me about an extra month to keep collating for tires.

Going to put on the bl tomorrow and clean my interior while I have the seats out.

 

[chrwilkins30]

No pics unfortunately

well basically completed the BL and it looks much better. Bad news is the core support is rusted out way more than it looked like. the front body mount on the core is broken off completely. meaning i'm going to have to swap the core sooner than later. possibly next week depending of the work schedule

EDIT: Going to start on Monday on the day off and hopefully get it done that day

 

[chrwilkins30]

I got the core support all in, just need to install the radiator and some accesories then reinstall the fenders,grill, and valance. Now on with the pics

During

After

Will get a better picture tomorrow plus the ones showing the body lift installed.

 

[chrwilkins30]

Finished installing everything. Got to say it was easier than it thought.

With out the grill during the day

New Wheel wells

The jeep bumper (that will be getting adapted hopefully thursday if it dont rain)

I think its going to look awesome!

 

[chrwilkins30]

went to drive to work and the fan would contact the shroud on occasions. I go to pull the shroud out and pulled to hard and the shroud broke in half. now have to go to the jy after class today.

 

[chrwilkins30]

Went and got the fan shroud and got new vizors because mine flopped every time when taking off and slowing down. Also found a red cargo cover that my friend snagged.

 

[chrwilkins30]

Finally had time between class to mount the jeep bumper

Still plan to make an alluminum skid plate to hide the frame and add protection for everything else.

Need the wheel to stick out more they are too far in.

 

[chrwilkins30]

Well received my shipment of spidertrax wheel spacers and just now noticed that the fronts do not fit over the hubs. I didn't even think about it when i purchased them. I put the rears on and they fill the flares alot better. I went and drop the other 2 off at a high performance engine builders shop. He said they will be done by tomorrow and run me around 30-40 bucks. It wil be worth it once im done. Will post pics of the machine job.

 

[chrwilkins30]

I must be talking to my self!

40 bucks later and got the front spacers back today. gave them a spare hub and they fit it nicely.

ON THE HUB

MUCH BETTER NOW

Also anyone think i should take the light covers off. This is what they will look like.

Uncover the lights when you go off-roading. Put the covers back on if "The Law" wants it that way on the streets-

 

[chrwilkins30]

law here don't care about anything. unless you are messing around doing what your not suppose to then they will write you a ticket for it.
