Grills a good idea

I put my side markers in the side of my grill and front lights in the front of my fenders. I just used little 3/4" LEDs

not one to leave well enough alone.....With the help of my bro -in-law we wired the jeep with an rv trailer plug. Now you might be wondering, why the hell do you need a seven way rv plug on a jeep? well there is an explanation, with a little creative wiring we now have awesome reverse lights on the m416 trailer. And yes having lights back there will be awesome.

I don't know about 'looks good', its a mess right now but it is rolling.

Most people who own jeeps are always modifying something or another.. so to see it rolling is always good haha.

Drive line is in, still waiting for rear fenders. Never use gen right!!! I ended up cancelling my order with them and got them elsewhere.

Its always bugged me how much mud my rocker guards collect. So I missed them to block the hole. You need the holes to install them and then the aluminum plate slides in and bolts down. Happy with how they turned out

Got it done, except paint, a few hours before leaving on my trip. It performed awesome on the trip.

All painted and ready for final assembly.

So sweet, every once in a while I wish I would have picked one of these up instead. I love em, can't wait to see it finished

Well ran into a snag. Got the jeep back together and the soft top color looked horrible with the new paint.
So after a day of researching I decided to change the color of the soft top with a dye/paint. Hopefully I'll be done tomorrow and will post up pics.
While I was at it, I used bedliner on the wheelwells and painted the fender flair.

Got it done, except putting rear fender flares back on. I'm super happy with how it turned out. Actually surprised at how well the color change on the soft top looks.

 

[brandonlmb]

Wow I really like that color. It turned out really nice.

Looks awesome! Can't wait to stretch mine... Hate the departure angle on my LJ!

Thats the main reason i did mine. It does climb like a monkey now too.

Really looks good. One of my old jeeps was stretched the same way. With the axle under the lower part of the frame, it caused some flex issues. Are you running into the same problem?

No, not at all. I already had nth spring relocators on it. Travel stayed the same. The springs are still in the 'hoop' just the back part rather than the front.
