04 WJ College Build-WillMcD
So heres the story. Before my Jeep I went through a couple trucks. The last one was a Z71 which i had lifted and what not. Anyways i got tired of it so it went up for sale. Long story short I ended up with the "bo shadow" as it's known by my group of friends. For months I promised myself nothing would be done to it. But then I ran across Jeepforum.com. And from then on it has cost me over $5000 to date with alot more to come.
Only stocker picture i have ![]() The first thing I did was tint the windows. 20% in the front and 5% in the back. Next I decided I was going to monogram Jeep into the leather headrests. ![]() For my birthday my girlfriend bought me HID's. She got me purple because we though they looked cool but really turned out to be pinkish ![]() ![]() Tow hooks came next. Instead of going with stock from a jukyard I went with Rustys tow hooks. (front bumper removed for install) ![]() A short while passed before i did anything else because I was trying to save money for a lift. In june I finally got around to installing it. For me this was one of the happiest events I have had in a while. I installed the RCX kit myself which is what made it 100x's better. Something many 18 year olds couldnt dream of doing. These are some pics of it after Firestone Destination m/t's went on. ![]() ![]() So much more to come. Here's a list of future plans: (This will be updated as item is installed) Front Bumper Rear Tire Carrier Long Arms Rear LA'sExhaust Wheels Winch truss rear d44 Tank tuck Here's how it sits today. ![]()

it would be easier and probably just as strong to truss your D44a

nice jeep man.. I got my jeep (still paying thru financing) when I was 19 also. I installed the lift right when I turned 20... I like the sliders, but I'm in love with IRO's... It is difficult to have such a nice jeep but not be able to get it to where you want... believe me I dream of 6" F and R clayton LA's, locked D44's and 33x12.5's but gotta have priorities... I'm graduating from UO this year, maybe I'll land a legit job

Took the dog to the pond today to play around. He loves his rides in the Jeep.
I tried getting more pics but the camera died. This is the only one I got of him with the phone before we left. ![]()

He's dry. I care way too much about my interior to put him in there wet. I dryed him off before we came home too.

Tinted my headlights using vht nightshade. Since my windows are tinted it makes it hard enough to see out the back so i left the backup light untinted. I think it looks better like that way anyways.
