Post subject:  My JEEP So far...

Well, I've been a member for a while, but never posted anything about my KJ, so here is the progress I have made on it so far...

Here it is stock, after I got it summer of '09
Image

Maybe 6 months later, I replaced the tires with 235-70-16 General Grabber AT2's and a few weeks later I found a deal on a Daystar 2" lift (I know, big mistake :banghead: )
Camera wasn't working too well that day...
Image

Around March this year, I decided I wanted a wider stance, but I liked the green on green look, so I got a set of Spidertraxx spacers
Image

Got bored one day, so decided to take out the back seat and clean the carpet really good, and while the carpet was drying, I saw some threads on replacing the back seat with a cargo deck, and I rarely have more than one passenger, so I decided to build a deck.

Image

Then one week, my grandma was having health issues, so I had to stay with her for a few days, so I brought some more lumber along to keep me occupied, and built a toolbox.

Image

I left it like this for a while, then I was out of state one weekend without the KJ, and my mom decided to pull out a bush with a dog leash, and left me a nice dent and paint chip in the bottom of the tailgate, so instead of trying to use touch up paint, I decided to paint a strip of bed-lining along the bottom. Well, I had a lot of liner left over, so I decided to keep going...

And then I left it for a month of so, and then decided it was time to replace the Daystar with an OME lift. I found most of the components for it for sale on LOST, and today, received the final piece!! :BANANA: So this weekend the lift goes in!!

But I also bought a set of 235-85-16 Interco Trxus off of the for sale forum on here as well, and got those installed this past weekend. Haven't noticed any loss of power really, and maybe 1-2 MPG loss, so I'm happy with them!! :D

There was a LOT of rubbing in the front, I already had the pinch welds pounded, and then I trimmed a lot around the fog light door, it still rubs a little on the flair when turning sharp, so if the lift doesn't eliminate that, I'll just end up doing a little more trimming, then I should be all set!

This is where I am at so far, once I get the lift installed, I will update this thread with more pictures.

I used roll on Herculiner, I think I used 3 coats of it over everything, its tough to keep the dirt from showing on it, but oh well, it still looks good
