Specs: Black 1999 Grand Cherokee Laredo
V8 4.7L
Quadratrac
Light Grey Leather Interior

I bought it with 145,000 needing a passenger taillight, driver seat, and a few small things here and there, for $3700.

There isn't anything done to her yet, but within the next few months, she'll be going through stages.

Future Plans:
WJ 6.5" Critical Path Long Arm Lift Kit (Front)
33x12.5x15 Kuhmo Road Venture MT's
15x8 with 3.75" BS Cragar's (Soft 8's or D Widows)
Front Bumper (still undecided)

I plan on removing the westin running bars asap, and the passenger side pinstripe.










This scuff is the worst part of the whole body, other than the tailight.

lol I tried creating it the other night but I don't know how to delete an old account because I don't wanna use a different email address.

Can't wait to see if this one turns out as mean looking as the last one. I loved your ZJ. :thumbsup:
It'll be even better :thumbsup: and thanks!

Looks good!

Was that pinstripe painted on? What did you use to remove it?
The pinstripe was stick on, and I used my fingernail to remove it haha.
I'm going to remove the passenger side sometime this week.

Painted the cladding and bumpers black. Also installed the rainguards.
In a few days, I'm going to sand it all down with 1200 grit and do another layer to get rid of the orange peel look.

Thanks! :cheers2:

A small update, tinted tails and headlights, and got her registered. I'm buying a used FM40 from my friend that he had in his impala SS. I might be getting it installed this saturday, but not 100% sure yet.

Here's pics of the tails and heads. The headlights aren't tinted dark at all




And before anyone asks, the ZJ in the driveway is JFCIII, and the blazer in front of my WJ is my buddys SFA S10 Blazer on 35's. I'm sure everyone has seen the pictures of it already.
