after my first wax about 2 weeks after i got it
then about 2 months later i did my first mod, i made my own CAI
then christmas came around, i fixed my rear wiper motor, and got a bunch of blue halogen bulbs to put all around the interior and 2 leds... BAD IDEA on the halogen bulbs. they sucked. but heres a pic of the leds
THEN i tinted my tails and my jeep started getting some attention
and right after a wax
then spring 07 came around and life got awesome.
took my jeep through a grass field around 20mph throwin mud, and watched a stuck bmw x3 owner just stare in awe. it was priceless.
then a cop decided he didnt like my taillights and pulled me over (after having plenty of cops behind me before him) and my mom made me take the tint off i was very unhappy
