Baby got new shoes!

mrkake · **Posted:** Fri Aug 08, 2008 1:10 am

Baby got new shoes so I thought I would drive up to a spot that I like to "chill" at (chill being more of a euphemism in this case since its around 100 degrees up there for many months of the year :shock:

). It's only about 25 minutes away from the house but it seems like its a hundred miles away.

I "upsized" to 245/75R 16's and you guessed it, I got some rubbage. Only on nearly full lock with some flexing involved, but I will take my hammer and Dremel to it as soon as a get a chance

So a while back (maybe a year or way more even) I was downtown in Reno and saw a white KJ with a RL rear bumper and looked just like yours what I could tell. Was that you? I forgot about it until now, but looking at your KJ reminded me.

It wasn't me, but it was my KJ. I bought it from the original owner in Reno. I had been looking for a CRD for 6 months. I knew what I wanted and wanted to find just the right one. The only thing that I was sure of was that I didn't want a white one :lol:

. This one had everything and then some. He put a ProVent on it the day he brought it home and had complete service records for it. He put the RL bumper and the Franky lift and on and on. I haggled with him until we were both happy and I just have to over look the fact that it's white. I told my wife I was going to find someone to paint it desert camo and she actually said she liked the idea :shock:

. I have too many other goodies to get for it first, but it may happen someday.

Cool. I like white jeeps, my next one will be white. I'd paint those Moabs black if it was me, but I just like black wheels. Good looking KJ, get to see it up close real soon. :wink:

great lookin' KJ!!!
wait until RL comes out with his front bumper, or you could go with thishttp://www.scoffroad.com/!

you might want to do a little research here on "that" bumper or I should say the availability of that bumper before recommending it. And yes it looks great but if you can't get one then why bother even thinking about it?

Yea it's too bad that he got in over his head. I really like this bumper but since he screwed a bunch of guys over I wouldn't even consider it any more. I will wait for RL to come out with his. Besides, I absolutely love the fact that it will be a convertible winch bumper

Good call on that jeepster. I was out of line

. I am not personally involved and have only heard things second hand. I do not know what has transpired between the parties and therefore I have no business spewing slanderous statements like that :oops:

. Apologies all around and thanks for putting me in check.

As far as I know, the Sundance Customs' Rockstar Front Bumper is still in production. Due to unforeseen circumstances (someone who stole a few bumpers) it set Jason back.
