After I towed it home, traced the no start to a brake safety, fixed and now she starts right up!

Changed the fogs, found a bumper and grill at the PnP, 30 bucks later, changed them and painted the headlight surrounds to match (rockguarded)
and pulled the pointless step bars.

Got some flares from ron for 50 bucks. From what I hear, these flares have been on a couple of jeeps around here!

Jacked it up and installed a 3inch lift which was neededbecause the rear leafs were collapsed!

Looking real good - the lift gives it so much more character.

checked out the bumper, but with the 500.00 on new suspension and tools, I was told to lay off the bigger purchases for a bit :)
I did see a roof rack on kijiji, for 200. does this belong to someone here? if so, let me know.
Thanks
Tim.
