Default My New Jeep 8 days after ownership

I've only had my JK Sahara for 8 days and I have done some mods to it........


Destickered and tinted windows:


Grill Mod:


Custom Intake made w/ a Mustang MAC tube and K&N filter from Summit Racing:


Trail Rated Badge Relocation:



By this time next week my wheels will be powdercoated and my Magnaflow exhaust will be installed.

Needless to say, I am giddy as hell.

Take a look inside the grill - people have been using expanded aluminum (painted black) as an insert. Looks cool and protects the radiator. This is a much cheaper alternative to the commercial products you can buy now. There's a write-up for this mod on the forum.

https://www.jk-forum.com/forums/show...t=4194&page=19

it started out as expanded aluminum but i think most have been using plastic..gutter guard or a sheet of plastic from mcmaster

Go to www.mcmaster.com

Part # 9314T33

I got 3 ft

the plastic is like $3 like $7 with shipping..

i did it black first then painted duplicolor pewter to match my graystone..... youll see all versions on the write up....the plastic i think is cheaper easier and safer to use...no rusting....take a look...its one of teh easiest mods out there..almost as easy as the sunvisor mod (peeling the stickers off)

Are those wheels machine finish, they look too shinny to be painted.
