finally what a long week but well worth the effort! she turned out amazing
This past week with my father on my spring break in the freezing cold garage we put on and did a punch of modifications to my jeep that I had been collecting this year! and wow she looks amazing and rides perfect!
and on my way back down to college went to visit my roomate and did a car show with his and his families trucks.
needless to say i was a little outa place but still won two trophies (alot of mustangs and old muscle were also there)
ill take better pictures later. these were just a few quick snaps on a diening camera just to show yall....
now that its finished i must say i love the way this lift rides compared to others i have tried, and the tires are amazingly quiet i could hear other cars come up and pass me on the highway, and rode very smoothly no complaints after a strait trip from MD to SC. my only complaint is now that i have the larger tires i found out the other day when i was playing out in the woods on some trails that my gears are no longer low enough and i stalled out a few times in first gear trying to creep over an obstetrical in 4H. guess i will put 4.88s on the list of goodies now wanted. but as for the road goes shocked. the trip down i was averaging between 21 and 18 gallons on the highway. and 18 through cities. all depending on hills and speed. altho she did get down into the 17s trying to jeep up on i95 sometiems when the speed limit was 70 she no longer likes to go much faster than 65
list of mods:
- AEV 3.5 premium lift
- 35in Goodyear Duratracs
- Or-fab tire carrier
- Smoked out lights
- Bedlined grill
- Mid-with front bumper
- Kicker speakers
- Sony head unit
- Cool mount cb mike

Great job man. I'm assuming thats the factory bumper and you just cut and bolt modded it yourself? Looks amazing!
Got any pics of the CB mounted?
Also, great job on the tail lights man!!
