Nightstrs build.

looks great!

i really like the bobbed fenders too... maybe weld in a piece of tube underneath them for support and protection... ive seen them somewhere, but cant remember where... looks like a tube fender with a piece of sheet steel over top... pretty boffo

what did you use to cut the fenders?

like the cage too, is that out of a wrangler or something you fabbed up?

keep the pix coming!

 

The winch is a Warn 8274 and the plates were originally black and yellow but when I got the jeep they were all bent and rusted. I sanded them down, hit them with some spray paint, some of my wife's nail polish and some clear coat.

Thanks! I cut the fenders with my grinder.lol It was pretty nerve racking. The cage I got off of Craigslist for $100! Did some trimming to it so it would fit the small tub. I thought it was a great deal.

 

Nice work! I like the new color.

^Thanks! I can't wait to get the lights hooked up so I can take it for a spin.






Does any one know if this is where my lights should be hooked up?

I like the stance of your jeep. Do you mind me asking how much lift you are running and what size tires?

 

Thanks! I'm running the Procomp 2.5", i believe 0.5" shackles and 31's. The Procomp lift is a bit stif but I'm hopeing that with time it'll loosen a bit.

 

I agree. The suspension will probably settle after some miles.

Nice job.

 

Thanks guys! It's good to know that the ride will feel softer in the future.lol

 

Today i Made and mounted my own Jerry can holder.

 

nice rig. what did you do for your audio setup? does your tailgate rattle around with the jerrycan on there?

 

Looking good. I like the black headlight rings. I've been thinking about doing that to mine also.

 

your jeep is coming along nicely.

I would love more details on that jerry can holder? how gauge steel did you use, hows strap mounted and such.

 

Thanks! I had an old amp sitting around so I just powered and grounded it, hooked up some marine speakers to it and I'm running a aux cable from the accessory output in the amp and just use my iPhone.

Thank you. The chrome was peeling on the rings so I decided, why not sand and pint instead of buying new ones.

Thanks! I used 8 gauge sheet metal that I got at the local shop for $4, I then cut and used the sidewalk and hammer to bend the sides. It's strapped with a step that I bought at a local surplus store. I'll try and get more pics of it up ASAP.

 

thank you, haha I can only imagine the looks my neighbors would give me if they saw me hammering medal on the sidewalks....

 

Bahaha! I tried doing it as fast as possible, We have an HOA and I can get fined for doing an oil change in my garage. When I work on the jeep I have to keep the garage closed...

 

You gotta be kidding.

 

I've got to stay off of Craig's list... I bought new wheels, headers, exhaust and free 6 point harness seats that needed to be reupholstered. Just droped them off and will be done next week! Meanwhile ill put the new exhaust system in and I've got an EZ wiring harness in the mail.

the seats I droped off.

 

Hey your jeep is looking excellent! I like the body color, what is it?
