The first things I did all took place in the first 2 hrs after agreeing to buy it. The worst visual issues:
dirt pounded into the rubber window seals and flares,
rubber trim was either hanging or missing
windows were literally frosted over w/ hard water stains
stock 225's
knicks and scratches in the paint and all the black trim (all black trim didn't really turn my crank either),
And the bee's, it had been sitting all summer and had 7 bee hives inside and out.
At this point, I had changed the tires and painted the grill.

You never know bud. One the Jeeps in Hel that's my favorite to see is a black Commander on 31's. It looks really good. The patriot is like a mini Commander. But the color of the rig means alot to me too. You could have the most rigged up Jeep, but if it's blue or green, that's a big negative to me.
You better watch yourself.

I suppose it's time to turn this back into a build thread instead of "Confessions of the Devil".
I'm gonna get my flares pulled off today so I can get rollin' on this vinyl. But the flares are going back on. I also need to find an adhesive that will bond aluminum to chrome plating. I'd been told E3000 was good stuff, anybody used this before?

That's good to know. We've got two Goodyear tire shops in town, but I'd bet Walmart is cheaper. I ended up working on a '76 GMC shortbox my boss is giving to his son-in-law. Masked the whole truck off and painted the engine bay.

I got the dp accents ready to put on my chrome door handles, the radio antenna will go on tomorrow, and the mud flaps with the dp supports will go on tomorrow
A fluid change for the tranny, transfer, and both diffs will be done tomorrow also. Then I'm going hunting for a Cobra and the whips will get mounted if I get that far;)
I've decided to get the Subaru running again before I do the vinyl due to the number of things that need done to do the whole job.

The devil took my soul, I see
Within Hell, I remain to be
Those I've lost, I no longer miss
Within Hell, I live with this

The angel overlooking my soul
Using me for his own evil goal
My sanity reduced to near collapse
Intolerance grows as one of the traps

The rage that has come over me
Leads me to the pain I seek
My shattered heart forever exists
Not to be healed with my fists

So now I see the evil in me
The Devils persuasion made it be
I will gladly be the outcast
So you, that shine, will forever last

I've really been trying to get away from being the epitome' of depression. Projects have been getting worked on in my living room since I have no gas to get to the shop.
The radio antenna got done and works great, compared to not having one. The dp accents for the exterior door handles are done. I need to remove them for the gluing process so the black handles will be on for a few days. And I got the mudflaps ready for install. I'm still trying to decide if I want to put the diamonds facing the tire so the dp can be seen in the wheel wells, or facing the back in which case the diamonds will almost not be visible.
