Yes i have a booger, a green one from 1996 to be specific.

i did have a thread about just the interior but i let it die so that i could create an all inclusive thread for my booger.
So the deal is in July of 2009 i found and purchased, with my own had earned cash, a 1996 Jeep Grand Cherokee Limited. It has the 5.2 v8, power everything, yada yada yada.... Because i am a broke college kid i have had to be somewhat creative in what i am doing to it.

So far it has-
-2in bb
-stock wheels painted black
-stock tires (31's when i get the $$) that were BRAND new when i got it
-Camo headliner
-trimmed front bumper
-cb radio, needs better antenna...

What i am working on-
-custom camo interior (doors+)
-mesh grill

When i got it-




A few weeks later, i hadn't had any tome to do much of anything because of working at a youth camp, but i had been down a few trails and tried to pull out a stuck tractor...

[taythegibs]

I painted the wheels black because i hated the gold






it took forever to sand them down and i put on several coats of paint.

[WhiteOut]

Looks good, I always hate those wheels when they are unpainted. What size are the tires, they look pretty proportionate to the lift.

[taythegibs]

i then let the paint cure and about a week later i took it out.


notice the beautiful black wheels

Back to my bumper, for some reason this post didnt show up earlier

i took it off-



i didnt like the look so i trimmed the cover-



and i trimmed the inner fender plastic pieces-

before


after


total time 2hrs
1.5hrs looking for a dang knife
30 min taking it off, trimming, and putting it back on

[taythegibs]

i was at the worlds longest yard sale and some moron tried to parallel park in front of me, cut it too close, and ripped off my front bumper.....so i took it home, cut out the broken parts and made both sides match, and zip tied it back on...





and yes, i have relocated the cannister.

[taythegibs]

then i got the build sheet

-End Rant

[taythegibs]

so i was having some troubles, it needs a new pcm and a plenum gasket, and i over tightened the lug nuts on one of my wheels and....it came off.





so because of not being able to do much due to limited $$ i redid my headliner

Taythegibs- the interior came out awesome! Any better pics of the doors? kinda hard to see here... Any installed pics too? I like this a lot, especially with the tan interior...

[Kota04SXT]
