Title: Yellow Jeep "build up?"
Post by: yellowjeep101 on June 09, 2011, 04:02:44 PM

After buying my jeep a couple years ago, and I used it just as a daily driver... But then the tires wore out, so on went 31 inch mud terrains, a little bigger and a ton more beef on them. Well the jeep didn't look so good anymore, so I decided it was time for a winch. I put a champion 8000 lb winch on the front mounted on a smittybuilt winch plate. But as I was putting it on I had to relocate the fog lights, so I just ended out replacing them with nothing special canuck tire lights.
Just today, I installed a safari rack and bushman cage to give it a little more capacity for camping and fishing... Once I figure out pictures, ill post some, but until then see you folks later! (http://i1096.photobucket.com/albums/g337/brettcoates/PA240116.jpg)

I guess time for a little update, After a trip to the falls, i managed to finish one of my shocks slow deaths. So...  I replaced the budget lift spacers with a 4" Zone BDS kit. as well as new shocks of course! I replaced my muffler with a Magnaflow from mopac for a meaner sound. now time for some enngine upgrades. or consider builing a stroker.

Ha ha ha! Other than the reliability and milage and power, I don't like diesel. I guess engine mods will be the way to go next. My 4.0 is a pretty strong engine but I want a little more out of it.
