Default Sand Scorpion Build

Here is my thread documenting the chronicals of my Tonka truck Build. I will post all of my haphazard installs and upgrades. This is my very first jeep so be nice.

Here is my virgin jeep from the dealer.



One week after having her I ordered and installed Rugged Ridge rocker guards.




week three after buying her I removed the bumper in anticipation of a Rugged Ridge modular stubby bumper.




ok when I got home I found two packags waiting for me my new bumper has arrived.. on a slightly sad note it was supposed to be 3 packages the stubby end caps was split up in shipping so they will be here abd installed later today.



I know the picture is dark but it was late..




Here are the end caps installed...




Ok I have added Poison Spider hood louver...
