Yep, thats the one. It was really easy.

I still need to do the kick panels and dome lights.

Someone recently told me that they closed the quarry section though. Did you hear that?

My bad dude, I put a thread in the southwest wheelin section, guess you missed it.

Im going a few times this summer.

And yes, I think the quarry was closed. (Im not sure)

Thanks!

It's just krylon indoor/outdoor. I'd go with fusion next time, it chips easy, sorta. Got it at Kragen.

Must have, haven't checked in a while since I haven't had the time to go for a while. Gonna free up my weekends soon, so maybe sometime in June. I actually want to do a camping trip at some point too.

I'd love to camp there. Hell, I'd sleep in the heep!

How big is that lift? Just the 2" BB?

srmitchell · 05-05-2008, 09:05 AM

Yep, 2 inch. I want to go bigger.

srmitchell · 05-14-2008, 07:36 PM

Updates.

Scored a free hitch from a friend.

Closeup of the trimmed bumper, and hooks.

Front skid repainted.

And painted again, you'll see......

Junkyard gas skid, and hitch.

Finally pics of the switch set up. Top is the Kc's and the bottom is my cooling fan I wired.

dcorn · 05-14-2008, 07:42 PM

Nice, whenever I get switches for stuff, I was planning on putting them in that same spot on the panel. How tough was the placement? Any pics of the skid on the Jeep?

srmitchell · 05-14-2008, 07:45 PM

It wasn't too hard. I've had that dash apart before to do the LED's.

You have to pop the bezel off, unscrew the lower kick panel, then unscrew the upper panel.

No pics of it painted, just this. Its off now, for more paint.

You can hardly see it.

srmitchell · 05-19-2008, 09:29 PM

More skid progress.

Masked off, took a lot of time.

Painted white.
