Before - when I bought it last March...

This first picture was taken about a week after I picked it up last March. As you can see, it had little bitty tires, a dumb tubular chrome bumper, and a swooping, Riceboy-like, Autozone decal on the side. Obviously, it needed some work.

Here's a picture of it from the front to show off the hideously blinged out front bumper. Yech. Completely useless and all show.

One year later...

Now, we have the Blue Zombie as it is today, exactly a year later. Notice the much more aggressive, rugged look. Notice the upgraded 30" tires(they're Hi-Tec Retreads), the neat-o expedition rack, and the much more functional bumper with tow hooks. I also added some side steps so the kids and Mrs. GothicJeep could get in and out. This is closer to how a Jeep should look.

Future Mods: 31" or 32" tires, off road lights, rocker guards (after the kids get taller!), and a 2" suspension lift. Maybe a winch. Then some interior mods like a cb, cb rack, Bestop seat covers, a rear shelf, and an upgraded stereo. And then - then the Zombie will be perfect.

Now, if I could just convince the wife to let me spend more money on it...

Before

Now

Not many changes yet. Black steelies with 31's, floaties removed and headlight bezels painted. It's pretty amazing how so little can make such a big difference.
