misinformation machine, lock it up

hey you can put a jeep logo on anything you want as long as you have 1 or 8 like me

well i was going to make another thread for this but lets face it this is all spam anyway...so...something jeep related

As some as you know I have another grill I am going to pick up Saturday. well I of course have plans for it. I originally just planned on painting it black and throwing it on and calling it a day keeping my original grill safe and still silver Well now i plan on putting the jk amber running/turn lights in it and using LEDs of course. Now I just have to decide, go cheap and just run an amber led bulb in the jk amber housings or I saw a cool video where someone did clear lenses and used switchback leds where they were white until the turn signal was used and it switched to amber on/off then went back to white when it was done. I like this option of course but it is going to be very expensive.

I may have to turn on the ol' beast computer to run some photoshop to show you guys what i am talking about but i think most of you understand what i am trying to do.

Thoughts?

whatever switchback is , sounds better on a silver KJ , black or other colors not so much but silver OK
Why paint it black though? I still don't understand the concept of painting the grill a different color, and then with the ARB up front on yours, would be way too much darker colors with the silver body.

well i was kinda thinking the same...the black might get lost with the arb

http://www.jkfreaks.com/forums/showthread.php?4508-Jk-with-clear-turn-signals-and-led-v-leds-switchbacks

watch the second video. i think it gives better representation as to switchbacks

the think is i could do the jk ones with amber lenses and leds for maybe $30 total (after shipping) and the clear with switchbacks would run at least $75

speaking of different color grills...i keep seeing this jeep around town that you would call sacrilege tom. I think it is just plain ugly... but it is a black 05-07 limited kj but its grill is [b]GREEN[/b] yes florescent green

2x http://www.ddmtuning.com/Products/3156-3157LED-C total ($8)
2x housings/lenses at rockauto (9.71 + shipping) total ($27.05)
2x http://www.ddmtuning.com/Products/LED-Resistor 6ohm x 50w total ($10)

so lets just call it a cool $50 and it gets my turn out of my arb and on my grill. I like this for two reasons. People have had nothing but water issues with the 05-07 arb turn signals AND that means I can put other lights in those holes

Now I have already been looking at other side lights for my ARB because there aren't any. So people on my sides dont know if i am signaling or not if they are past my tail lights. These are what I have been looking at:
http://www.amazon.com/iJDMTOY-Sequential-Flashing-33-SMD-Mirror/dp/B008L5JMH8/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1375976523&sr=8-1&keywords=led+sequential+turn+signal
http://www.amazon.com/CUSTOM-DYNAMICS-ACCENT-BAR-AMB/dp/B0041QK4FU/ref=sr_1_32?ie=UTF8&qid=1375976559&sr=8-32&keywords=led+sequential+turn+signal

now those aren't the cheapest prices, just the quickest to reference

I am an idiot...i just looked at my Jeep to measure all of this out...


this is the best front end shot i have...who else sees the problem with my plan?

I wondered how long it would take you to figure it out!
Also now that you've discovered that part, unless 05-07s are different
only way to swap out the grill is to pull the ARB out about two-three inches each time ans swap it. In the 8 years I had mine the grill never came off just due to that fact

wall art
clock in one headlight that has Ohio time
clock in the other with Tanzanian time

Oh wait that would only do me good wouldn't it?

You're going to have a load going back with old suspension, grill, hood, tail gate

i know! i plan on finding a dumpster to throw MOST of my old suspension away (saving a few pieces) then fold down the seats and hope the hood and tail gate fits LOL! i dont have a trailer... but i do have a roof rack

i am hoping the hood will fit at an angle / and the tail gate will slide under it on the raised side...

never measure...just wing it

maybe a clock in one headlight and a thermometer in the other and JEEP behind the grill slots in neon

Now that may work
would make a nice Christmas gift for someone ...................
