Nice work flash_gordon, I know I had no chance against your rig but I was hoping to get more votes

flash_gordon · 09-01-2005, 07:11 AM

Wow, thanks for all the votes everyone! Jeepernick, you have a great jeep, everyone one did. I’m surprised I got so many votes. The pics turned out better than the jeep in person. My rock rails have many new layers of paint, as well as my front bumper. Hey but that’s what they are there for, I would rather repaint them then have more body damage.

More projects starting in a few weeks; Full interior cage, OBA setup, and hopefully a new rear bumper from Rigid.
Thanks again everyone for the support! See you on the trail
Shawn
