This Jeep stuff is more addicting than... well have not done much of that stuff but still.....

I am hooked. Finish one thing on my Jeep and I want to do more.

Plasti-dip the grill over the weekend. (looks great for $10). So I am looking at the new posts over lunch today at work... and someone recently posted to a thread about grill "inserts". Holy cow I guess I will be pulling the grill off again next weekend.

It simply amazes me how many great ideas (and low cost) people have shared on this site. I can keep "working" on the little things for my Jeep while I save up for the bigger things... still satisfies this newly found addiction.

Thanks to all those who have come before.


Anyone know how the plasti -dip would hold up door sills?

yeah I had no idea what I was in for upon buying my JK. I had no intentions of doing really anything to it, now, from this forum, it's not much compared to a lot of the sweet builds on here, but stands out in the real world more than most of the JK's I see. Been workin on it for 3 yrs now in, out, under, never ending....

I did mine about 2 weeks ago and has held up fine just cleaned where i wanted it taped it all off sprayed a good thick coat and then peeled the tape off when it was still wet so it would leave a nice edge

Yeah I know the feeling. Once you start there is no stopping or ending. I started first with the side armor, then I had to chop the front bumper, then spot lights, better tires, front grille inserts, blacked out led front marker lights, and this past weekend installed new fender flares stock ones had to go. Still not done more to be done little by little. so this is what it looks like now. Good luck and have fun

If it was not for work taking me out of area for a few weeks I would be doing the grill inserts Sat and wheeling Sunday. Weather here is perfect for it right now... just wish I had the soft top already...

Working on fab for a light bar during my down time at work... eek.. more lights LOL...

Sooner or later I am going to have to complete one of the bigger money mods... I am leaning bumpers maybe lockers... i think I might try to fab up my own rock rails...

Yea the list never ends LOL

Going to have to get pics from my phone onto the computer when that one is done. guess I will need to give her a bath before the photo shoot too

I had no real plans set for it. Just always wanted a wrangler and the 4-dr clinched it for me. THEN I found JK-Forum.....

Addiction? What addiction??

Same song and dance for me...bought it stock and swore it would stay that way. There are worse things I could spend my $$ on.

Hookers & cocaine would certainly cost less!
