Registered User | Heck yea, $150 for a 4" lift! The pics make it look more orange than red. What are your plans for it? __________________ |.,______.____ ./____|__,\____\____ |__^_|`__|^_/[]||||[]\ --\__/--------'{-----/---}- _( )_)____( )_)==O=)_)__ |

Registered User | Hmm. Pic wont show. But the one your pulling that lift from looks like its been sitting in a pool of salt water for a while. Not much metal left in those rocker panels. Haha. __________________ |.,______.____ ./____|__,\____\____ |__^_|`__|^_/[]||||[]\ --\__/--------'{-----/---}- _( )_)____( )_)==O=)_)__ |

The kid with the red jeep | Sorry about the delay but I had a very sucky tragidy, the kid I've been working on this passed away last week and Ive been involved in that kind of stuff. But I know he would want me to continue on asap so I did. New front end assembled. Kinda neat, but I got the factory paint in an aerosol can and painted the nose myself. Went with that and the black grill assem. ![]() ![]() The jeeps actually done, I just haven't taken any pics lately, Suspension and I completely installed my audio system myself. Boy did that suck. I have some more pics shortly. __________________ 95 Red Cherokee - New rebuilt drive line, 6 inches of lift. 33' Micky Thompson MTZ Radials, Hella's, Pacesetter headers, Flowmaster 40, and the build continues. http://www.jeepforum.com/forum/showthread.php?t=763081 |
