Well I suppose I should get un-lazy and start a thread. Not much to report right now since I'm broke as can be! Got most of my build mapped out at this point, just waiting for the money to get rolling!

I'll change this first post to a Title Page (index) later on as things progress. I promise I'll be more organized and do better about writing "write-ups" on all the mods I do. Hopefully save some people the headaches I know I'm going to have myself!

Cheers

Probably one of my all time favorite days out this year. It was just plain fun! Another great day out with EXILED OFFROAD. I got a good group of people together...


That's me rocking the red Vans lol. We had planned on running a different trail today so I wasn't expecting Snow!!!





I love this shot...





Cheers :cheers2:

Thanks. :D :thumbsup:
It was really fun. Maybe my favorite day of the year as far as wheeling is concerned. Nothing hard or technical, but man, was it pretty!
Man that looks like a blast!!! :drool:
It really was! We still doing Moab in the spring?
So jealous! I cant wait for snow wheeling!

those are some great pics and it looks like your stocker holds its own very well
The snow was totally unexpected, but a welcome surprise! And yeah, I have fun showing the big kids in their JKs what a man Jeep can do, even in stock form!

Anyways, not much to report. Ordered a few little goodies for it, nothing major. And yesterday I changed the t-stat. Mine was stuck open and the poor squirrels were freezing their butts off!

I am struggling to find an esthetic/visual direction to take this build in. After the radness that was my Warbird, I'm not sure what to do to make it uniquely Sparrows. Right now I'm torn between Monstalining the whole thing in loudass "Predator" (which will look killer with black armor/cloaks,) or keeping it white, doing the cage, inside the tub, and all my accents in Predator, and keeping my armor raw metal for a more "industrial" look.

The rest of my build is pretty much mapped out, but the "look" is something I'm struggling with. Any ideas or suggestions would be welcome. :D

Cheers

It's funny, you of all people say that, cause I have these photoshop mock ups I had done about a week ago to give me a rough idea of the look... Lmao! :rofl: I think I may paint the rear armor green too? And just do the flares and sliders black? Or do it up just like that... Cheers
the pics don't work for me :/

That is my favorite color. I'm already feeling guilty for wanting to steal some of those colors you had on the other one, diff cover, spring plates, etc. :p

Lets hear the battle plan that you have layed out :rtft: Or did I miss it somewhere? :facepalm:

I like the green too!
Go ahead man, and steal whatever ideas you want. It's not like I'm all too original either. Besides, the highest compliment is imitation. :shhh::laugh:
Besides, I'll probably end up doing the WHOLE Jeep in that color this time haha.

And I'll put together my build map sometime this weekend. I've been struggling with a few choices and like everything in the Jeep world, the snowball just keeps growing bigger...

Cheers

Desert sand would have a nice contrast with the green
If I did it, I'll go 100% one color body/hardtop if I had one. I'm a huge fan of body match. Black windows, bumpers, cloak flares, and anything below the body. But, Corners, cloaks and louvers all one blended with the body also for the sleeper stock appearance.

Arctic White is just so clean looking I love it. jungle love will keep the rio grande original theme alive tho.

I agree. Since I'm going a little "sleeper" with my build for right now, I'll be painting it all one color, including any armor and leaving the flares, sliders, bumpers black. I think yours would look pretty killer in Jungle Love or Desert Sand! The Sand would go especially well with your interior!

On a related note, I was able to hunt down a couple pics of some YJs done up in Predator. I like it! It'll be bright and flashy, which is cool since my Jeep will be on the smallish side of things thins round. :D



I really wanted to go predator last time, but I ended up having the hair brained (and awesome!) idea to do that Warbird paint job. So I figure this time, make it a mean, green motha!

Cheers
