Hey guys thought I'd share what I've been up to.

Installed some draw bar recovery points with D-Shackles, really like the look it adds.

Also did the gutter mod except I just have the stock air box, cut a hole ran the flexible gutter from box to grill and then sealed around gutter going into air box with rtv seal. Did a test run on the highway and can definitely tell theres more air going in there, well see if it helps out in the long run.

Couple of my decals

Love the way my Jeeps coming along I think I looks great and I still have a list of things I'd like to do. :lol:

It's been a little bit since I posted in my thread but thats not to say I haven't been busy :lol:

Installed my rock rails today, which I painted yellow along with my shackles in front

Also blacked out my tail lights a bit

Are those flares stock color? If so what paint did you use to match the front grill?

VAhlene · **Posted:** Tue Apr 30, 2013 9:45 am

Yea my flares are all stock as of now I will be painting soon. I used rustolium black gloss to do the grill. Debating between Bed lining flares or just paint. Also going to paint my wheels black and calipers yellow I think it would look good with the hints of yellow.

Ok so its been a bit since my last post, but got a lot done!! I also find myself on Jeepkj website more than here, like the layout more.... anyways heres some of what had been done.

Installed my All J's rear cargo tray

Put custom bike mount hitch (durangotang) in place of spare, relocated spare to roof

Installed Boilers roof rack

Installed my skid row skid plate today!

While i had it on the lift figured I would clean and paint rear axle, lower arms and cradle

Couple pics off roading

Still have my Caroline rock shop rails to put on and hook up my CB already have antenna installed as you can see from some of the pics, but in all I think she's coming right along and turning into a nice rig. Can't wait to get DTT front and rear with 4.10 gears.

Got around to installing my CRS rails and also painted my Roof Rack and added some custom stencil work. Like the new look of the Jeep. :lol:

What do you guys think?

do you have a stencil for that jeep logo? i would love to have one

VAhlene · **Posted:** Mon Jul 22, 2013 11:26 pm

I honestly made it using a word processing program and printed it out. Then my fiance cut it out with an razor blade using three sheets of paper to make it a little more stable. So if you have a printer and word processing program you could easily make almost any stencil you wanted

If it wasn't for bending it around the bars I would have made it out of something thicker than paper.

How do you like the deflectors? Much wind noise?

Honestly I think it cut down on the wind noise. Instead of blowing in on your face when it's cracked it streams across them and pulls air outside. Im a smoker and it's the main reason I got them, I hate when its raining and I make a turn or stop and rain pours in the window, problem solved with these
