Steve-Oh Posted March 19, 2014 Report Share Posted March 19, 2014 I guess there wasn't an existing fog light wiring harness. Lol that'd be pretty entertaining to have the fogs flash with the blinkers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

95riosnake Posted March 20, 2014 Report Share Posted March 20, 2014 Lookin good Tony! I'd stuff the tailgate with some sound deadener, I could foresee that sub creating some rattles from the tailgate being right there possibly? Great use of space though, I knew you'd have a sub in this thing before you were done, I know every vehicle I have ever owned ended up with at least one sub I would LOVE to have a few hours each day to myself to get shit done. I have to wait until the weekend, and usually by then a bunch of stuff has found its way into our plans and I end up with a few hours total to work on my car. Very frustrating to say the least. I guess that's a positive to working nights, and I'm sure you get a little pay bump working nights vs. days also! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Posted March 21, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 21, 2014 @95riosnake yea i thought about it. the bedrug piece on it is kinda flat against it so that's why i never stuck some on it. plus the tailgate with the tire rack and wheel on it is heavy as hell...just might keep it quiet idk. somebody asked me if the flares hung out past the tires...thought it was someone on here idk but no the tires still sit out a tad. think it was steve-oh idk lol.

Tony Posted March 22, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 22, 2014 after my first real cleaning/detail i rally seen these window channel thingy's (i don't know the part names of SHIT on a wragler lol) that are faded and scratched here and there so i tsp, scotchbrite, sanded etc then painted them with trim and bumper paint. it's this part right here: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Posted March 25, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 25, 2014 nothing huge here just finished up my sub box. i'll get pics of it installed. gotta finish up these roll bar pods and install some stereo sheeet black vinyl that matches the seats and just some carpet on the top and sides. that way i can set shit on top of it without it destroying the soft vinyl.

Blackmage Posted March 28, 2014 Report Share Posted March 28, 2014 i bet you could sell that thing for a lot more than you paid for it. they hold value like nothing else, and in that condition, somebody wants it bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Posted March 28, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 28, 2014 i bet you could sell that thing for a lot more than you paid for it. they hold value like nothing else, and in that condition, somebody wants it bad. yea i was actually shocked at how much a beat up wrangler sells for. i personally don't what all the hype is about. don't get me wrong, i love this jeep but not $11k with 167k miles on it love Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve-Oh Posted March 28, 2014 Report Share Posted March 28, 2014 The don't die that's why. The 4.0L i6 it pretty much bullet proof. Mine was run without oil, sunk in freezing water for hours and quite frankly beat to shit. I used to "rock" it out of stuck mud by shifting from drive to reverse and back real fast all the time, still ran perfect. I still kick myself for selling the XJ, but I got yelled at for taking up too much space. As soon as someone buys the Lincoln I'll be getting another one.Sent from SpaceCan't believe I used the phrase "quite frankly" lol.

Steve-Oh Posted March 28, 2014 Report Share Posted March 28, 2014 ^ yup completely true. My parents bought a Cherokee new when I was born, and I drove it up until I was 18.

Tony Posted March 28, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 28, 2014 300k miles? lol, daaam. i would be a happy camper if mine sees that mile marker. i'll have this thing for years as a summer toy. the plan is to get a couple 4 wheelers, as much camping gear as we can gather and tear the top off and live outdoors as much as possible hahaa. winter in ohio can do that to a guy like me. being so fucking cooped up from oct. - june. i want to live outside now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can you still put the top on with them there? I am so not a Jeep guy so forgive the ignorance...yea the top goes on exactly the same. and trust me...i'm prolly still more clueless than most when it comes to a jeep lol. i do know one thing...i think you can disassemble an entire wrangler with a T40 torx bit lol.
