Thanks. I had a local shop powder coat it. The color was custom matched to the grill. Apparently not easy to do and came close but definitely not exact.

 

It contrasts well. Very nice. I saw this and decided not to Bedline my grill but find a mountain edition grill.
My brawler light will hopefully be under the Xmas tree! ; )

 

Rigs looks good. One of the best things about this thing we do (Jeeps) is getting your hands dirty and learning how it all works. In the event of a trail break, everyone should have some idea of what is broken, how it affects the rest of the vehicle, how to repair it and is it safe to put back on the road in that condition.

 

Installed a set of used 4:10's to try to combat my horrible gas mileage. NO EFFECT! Still horribly sluggish.

 

Did a few things this past week. Finally got around to welding in my evo gussets and control arm skids and installed a set of lightforce lights on the windshield. Overall the gussets weren't hard, and they aren't the prettiest of welds in some places, but they'll hold.

 

Nice present! In case you can't find a mountain edition grill, the chrysler paint code for that color is PDM (Mineral Gray Metallic). You can get that paint in a spray can too if you wanted.

Good luck!

 

Here are some awesome, IMO, cheap modifications that I have completed in the last couple of weeks:
Bedlined fenders and bumpers
Tow hook install (thanks to saFFFari's generously donated parts!)
Daystar hood wranglers (way better fix than the zip tie mod!)
Daystar dash console replacement
Daystar 3/4 inch BB (looks great with 265/75/16 treadwrights IMO)
Mag light with mounting brackets (brackets only $6 at ACE)

Sorry no pics of the lift, it's pretty subtle anyway.
I hope posting here and in the cheap mod thread isn't a no no :/

 

Installed the Recon LED turn signals

 

What gear ratio were you running before? Also what size tires do you have?

 

I was running 3:21's with 33's. There are a few other things I want to check In to, but I am open to suggestions.
