Got It On The Road *Pics*
A few weeks ago I bought a wrecked jeep. I posted some pictures of it but I'll show it again:
 After a week of working on it every night it was ready for paint. I got it back with a brand new paint job on Monday. I spent most of the night monday and most of tuesday putting it back together and got it on the road tuesday afternoon. I bought some 31's for it yesterday and got them put on it today. Tomorrow I'm going to pull out the back leafs and get an add-a-leaf in there and get it re arced 3" so it sits level. I had some pictures of it clean but I think I'll post the one from when I got back from trying out the tires. Didn't get it too dirty since I can't wash it for a week because of the paint. Here it is:  Sooo, lets hear some comments, good and bad...

so what's your total investment on that project now? IIRC there was a debate on paying way too much for a wrecked jeep. Definitely looks much better now, nice work

The total cost was $3500 CAN but then I put the new tires some other stuff on it like lights and some interior stuff so I'm up around $4300 once I get those springs re arced.

Thanks Guys.
My uncle has fixed up probably over 50 wrecks in his life and I've always helped him out with it and stuff so I learned a lot from that. Once they're done theres no way to tell that they have ever been wrecked (except ownerships sometimes). Once they get a new paint job they all look brand new. Can't wait to get the back end up tomorrow. Then I'll have to try it out in the mud again. Washed it today but I guess I'll just HAVE to get it muddy again...awww dammnn...haha |
