Stole this idea from the TJ forum who stole it from the YJ forum. When I had my TJ this was one of the best threads to get ideas from and was full of great pics.

I'll start us off.

Today I powerwashed the heck out of it after my trip on Sunday to the Badlands. See HERE for trail report.

LOL yeah sorry folks, thats the far western coast of Oahu where I am currently stuck on business. (kudos to mclaggan123!) Where almost every other vehicle on the road is a jeep, and NOBODY waves. Weirdos. ;)
I don't know if "stuck" is the right word in your case. I had a pretty strong feeling this area was nowhere near home, otherwise I'd be moving immediately. Beautiful photos.

Fresh from powdercoating :D

Will your Jeep adopt mine? hahah one day mine will look as good as this. :) :thumbsup::thumbsup:

Not to be judge-mental as this is an awesome idea, but those look dangerously like they're ready to shred the rear seatbelts. Perhaps some hose sliced on one side and placed over that edge would help.

That or find a rubber cap that comes on the end of machined shafts or parts and stick it on. Perhaps plasti-dip would work too!

Great idea though! :cheers2: Just looking out for your safety devices! :)

Today I ripped around the back way out of work in mine. Not much mud, but a little air and lots of dust were had. Damn I love my Jeep.

Not today - but yesterday after work, found a nice little ATV trail tucked into the local industrial park... And of course I had to investigate... :D

It was a little tight in some places:




But had some interesting attributes:




I have it marked as an after-work quickie spot....:woot:

I took my front signals and markers off so they can be smoked black this week. Should look sweet. Also went by West Kentucky Customs (great wheel and tire prices) and confirmed which wheels I want. However, KMC is out of what I am going with right now. Which works out okay because I am not purchasing until January. 35" tires is gonna look sweet though

Not today but in the last 2 weeks!!! New shoes 255/75/R17 BF Goodrich Mud terrain Km, Locker Bypass Mod, and drooling over the Tube fenders!!!! Also trying to get more ideas for the trailer haha
PS. this is before the new shoes!!!!:2thumbsup:
:rofl: :rofl: :thumbsup:

Have you considered applying a Jeep grill to the trailer's 'firewall' replete with headlights, signals, and foglights, albeit inoperative? Maybe even fabricate a faux winch (or working for that matter).

So I posted a few questions about spacers a few month ago that you guys were very helpful with, so I figured I would post a couple pix of the end result. My dad made a trip down to my house yesterday so we could install some new toys for his 08 Rubicon. We installed 1.75" RE spacers, LOD bumper, WARN M8000, and some IPF lights. Before sending him on his way this afternoon we took it out for a local shake down.





All said and done he was very impressed with everything. The install was very easy and went without any headaches. Thanks to all who helps answer my questions. He is very happy with the way it sits in the end.:cheers2:
