License Plate painted.



Touched up some plastic pieces with krylon: gas can border, rear license plate bracket, hood latches



Picked up some Silverstars, my stock headlights were absolute crap.



Picture doesn't do it justice, but silverstar on the left, stock on the right.





Also got my fogs wired up





Just need to grab some wire protector wrap tomorrow.

Where it sits now




Also sold the K&N, hitch, and Hi-Jack today on craigslist....more money to play with!

Thanks, sounds good


I got my wires all covered up and stored away, didn't get much else done though, spent the day at the dealership with my dad, helping him haggle for this.



Traded in his Liberty for it, a total steal

Yeah, drove it home. Long arm lift, a ton of teraflex goodies, 33" BFG's, and <35k miles...for a liberty and $3k

Tin snips.

Dremel tool was super slow, and actually burned the plastic, box cutter/exacto knife seemed a little dangerous, but the tin snips did wonders.

Just sanded the edges smooth after that.

Bye bye nerf bars!



Makes a tummy tuck look good right now doesn't it?

Need to paint a little to prevent rust.

Found a set of 33x12.50x15 Goodyear MTR's w/ 70% tread left for $400.

Ordering up a set of 15x8 Cragar Soft 8's and some black wheel caps off summit.

Should be all set up in a few weeks.

2003 Rubi?, it looks good

EDIT: just read above posts, sounds like he got a great deal

Also, I like the way you trimmed your flares

Been having fun while the snow lasted. I'm liking the way its starting to come together... I don't get the "its a work in progress" feeling when I look at it.


Spent 10 hours driving it around the state today, getting tires.

15mpg, 550 miles, and a lot of gas money later...



Blurry picture, but you get the point.

Now to get some wheels to mount them on...
