Well, I am bored so lets do one for this rig. I will try to remember everything that has been done but probably not.
Stock w/ front tow hooks added
Got a Coleman roof rack for $75 shipped.
And then went with a BB and Black Diamond shocks. Turns out I had really saggy stock springs and only got about 1" of lift over stock. Also, added an addco rear sway bar and front disconnects.
And mods, none of this illegal. I know there is a picture of a cat driving by but that is actually a bypass road that all the trails meet on to go back to the main road. They are still working on it.
Thanks John, it is nice to have some semi decent action shots. Usually it is everybody else's rig who I take pictures of or my jeep sitting when we stop.
20% window tint so it can be easily removed if needed. They actually sold a kit on ebay, don't know if they still do but it comes with the headlight, blinker and fog light. I just used the blinker part.
I actually have the KOR dual SS kit and plan to move it higher. I just got the brackets on Wednesday and was trying to tighten down a bolt on Thursday in 20 degree weather before I but on the new SS and took the old one off. My socket slipped of the nut and my thumb flew into the plastic edge of my bumper.
So needless to say I didn't get it installed and now have a huge cut in my finger. It will get installed soon.
:laugh: Oh ok...I thought I'd ask because it looked like it was just waiting to be crushed by a rock :teehee: sorry about your finger...we've all had almost that same thing happen to us at one time or another :cheers2:
Thanks man. Ya, lucky a rock hasn't caught it yet. :laugh: And this isn't the first time I have cut up my hands working on my jeep, I think the cold got me this time as I usually keep working.
Love what you have done with the jeep....I like how much better the new grille looks...where did you get it?? I want to do the same but it costs so much!!
and one more question how did you tint the lights?? did you replace them or is is just a sticker??
I got the 04 grill off ebay about a year ago off ebay for around $80. It does take some modification to make it fit on a non 04 but will fit. They pop up from time to time.
The headlights are done with window tint. I did this so I could take it off if I ever needed too. I got the kit off ebay and just used the blinkers. This is the kit.
It's good to see wheelin' pics...I must have missed them before. It seems pretty capable with such a mild lift, and the intact front bumper keeps it lookin' good.
Thanks, it does ok. The front bumper will be getting ditched in about 2 to 3 months for a nice winch one someone on here made. He is holding it for me which is awesome. :cheers2:

I am sure it was posted elsewhere in her, but I didn't really read everything... Are those skins the Treadwright retreads? If so, how are you liking them? I saw an article in four wheeler awhile back that said they seemed pretty good.
My wife has an '03 pretty much just like yours, but with a 2 1/2" lift only and 245/17 series Grabber AT 2's.
I am building some bumpers for it in the spring as soon as I finish my Cj and hopefully use hers to tow my CJ out to the Springs for our anual run.
Got to work today. The front is almost done besides the track bar being back in (new bushings), front driveshaft (all new u-joints), and JKS discos (new ones for lift). I am still deciding if I want to go back and work on it. I am pretty dead from the week of work so I think it can wait until tomorrow.
Anyways, here are a couple teasers and an interesting picture of my tires (31 retreads) next to my boss's 33s. Someone tell me if they can tell a difference in height cause I sure can't. :dunno: And one of my boss's rig, it is a 77 J10 with a 401 Fuel Injection. We are almost done with it but it is taking a break while I do mine.
