Finally doing a build thread.

I bought my rig back in March of 08. I was in the process of lifting my 1993 4.slow laredo that my sister gave to me. I decided I wasn't getting enough power out of it, and knew it would only get worse after the lift. So I sold that to a friend and got my 5.9, found her on craigslist.

It was completely stock when I got it and have done a few noobish mods.

Current:
Ironrockoffroad 4.5" lift
8 adjustable short arms
33x12.50x15 BFG KM1's
Black steelies
Custom roof rack
Cobra bluetooth CB
Hi lift jack
Personalized plate, IMN4LOW (technically not a mod but still cool)

In the works:
Custom front winch bumper
Custom rear tire carrier bumper
Custom full interior cage
Bed lined cladding

Future plans that I'm saving for:
Clayton Long arm upgrade
7" coils and shocks
35x12.50x15 BFG KM2's


Only picture I have of her when she was stock, it was only stock for a week.


This is right after we got the lift on.




The sister got my windows tinted limo style for my high school graduation.


If you got it flaunt it, right?


Trimmed the fenders so I could actually turn.


Stripped for the new goodies. And took the ugly side cladding off. It doesn't sit that low in the rear, I had my 8.8 and spare tire in the back during that pic.


One of the new goodies is done.



And one poser wheeling pic.


Thats it for now. Thanks for lookin.

This is for comparison

Before:


After:


I'm thinking about mounting my hi lift jack in the back of the roof rack where that extra space is. Yes? No?

Dude im utterly digging your ride, she looks hard core, the roof rack is aces,

my only gripe is the rear, i know your workin on it, but as it stands she seems to suffer from a Noassatall symptom, she seems lacking..where are you going with that again, a larger more cushioned bumper or stick the tire there as opposed to underneath.. Im confused right now.

Thanks crzylgzz,

Lol you're right she is assless right now. Instead of trying to explain it I'll just show you! This is my inspiration for the rear end.

No, body damage is rad! You should leave it how it is. I'm doing a d44 in the front not 60's.

Great looking Jeep! We should go wheeling so when I get stuck you can pull me out.

People are always grabbing the handles, clutching the seat, or stomping an imaginary brake peddle when we're out having fun.
