Amazing what trimming a little plastic does

[graverobberjk]

yea and I even went the extra mile and got some of the rubber trim to make it look good..one thing I cant stand is people that take a saw and just hack at shit....take some pride in your jeep man....dont just sawsall the front bumper and call it good lol

Are you going to have to put the side markers back? Or maybe install new ones?

[graverobberjk]

I wont have to replace my side markers until I leave texas for longer than a vacation

[Mudderoy]

Ahhhh! Okay, for some reason I thought you were in Calif. I figured that was a must there.

[4.3LXJ]

Lots of rigs with no side markers here

[Brasscatz]

Looks pretty good. Too bad we can't convert to flat flares on our xj's from the stock flares.... and make it look that good :D

[abebehrmann]

Looks great man! I'm curious as to what the rubber trim is called and where you get it?

[graverobberjk]

Ahhhh! Okay, for some reason I thought you were in Calif. I figured that was a must there.

oh no im in texas...I got stopped a couple times in cali last time I visited because the highway patrol didnt like how my black rig was set up...they hated seeing texas plates and tags lmao:rolleye0012:

[graverobberjk]

Looks great man! I'm curious as to what the rubber trim is called and where you get it?

its just rubber trim that you can find at any parts store and walmart, comes in black or chrome ( if you want to pimp your ride lol ) its about 10 bucks a package and one package can do the whole way around.

[graverobberjk]

got my 3" BDS lift installed at a steal of a deal....next on the list is some 35s

[4.3LXJ]

Yup, need to fill those wheel wells now :D

[graverobberjk]

Yup, need to fill those wheel wells now :D

already working on that lol, the guy that did the lift is working on selling my 33s and getting me some 35s for next to nothing...the 33s are still on my jeep lol.

[4.3LXJ]

If you can get the 35s for cheap, go for it.

[graverobberjk]

I plan on it lol...the guy that im going through throws great deals at members of my jeep club...that lift was only 700 for everything and free install

[4.3LXJ]

That is a good deal

[graverobberjk]

all the kit was missing was a front steering stabilizer, but hes already got one coming my way at half the price so its still a win in my book

[graverobberjk]

and once the tires come on and after christmas im going to get started on increasing my MPG

[4.3LXJ]

Good luck with that. Those larger tires won't help that a bit

[graverobberjk]

Good luck with that. Those larger tires won't help that a bit

my 2010 was on 4" lift and 35s, at the start we are talking 11 mpg....after a programer, intake and exhaust she was racking up 28-33 mpg highway

[4.3LXJ]

That is quite an improvement. With that kind of milage you will be able to afford to come see your dad again

[graverobberjk]

thats what im aiming for .... he has been talking about coming here for a visit, but I really want another crack at the mountian lol

[4.3LXJ]

Let my know when you come. You should wheel with a buddy

[graverobberjk]

I will definitly do that...last time I was up there I had a pretty tight schedule letting my baby sister show me off all around Paradise lol, but dad made sure we had time to get some trail under the tires and lose some paint lmao

[xj4life2]

It wasn't that much paint ... really :)

[xj4life2]

Anytime son , you know that, you'd even get extra special props if ya bring my grand daughters with ya :) Beside that Green thing has to much paint on it I need to help ya out with that :smiley-taunt002:

lol...I like the paint right where it is thank you, let me fininish fixing whats wrong with it now before you talk me into breaking it more lmao.

[graverobberjk]

so after a few months of Lillies build being on hold (yes her mom wanted to change the spelling of her name) I finally got to install a new toy, thanks to my dad who sent me a CB and most of the fixins. With that, a 4' Firefly antenna and some help running the cables from a friend, I now have a functioning CB :)

[graverobberjk]

Next month Lillie will be 1 year old..so after I get her birthday presents and maybe a valentines day present from her mom installed and lookin good I will post a before and after pic of her first year and how much she has grown... funny how if anyone else were to read this they would think im talking about a child lol

:worthlesspics:

im getting there, give me a couple of weeks to get some stuff together and put on before I start posting pics lol...probably be giving you a call to work some of your magic before its all over with :)

[graverobberjk]

Knocked out my intake and rock sliders last night, phase 1 complete and more to come in the next couple weeks :D

[graverobberjk]

Last thuresday I finally got my magnaflow magnapack installed and it accomplished two things, first it makes my jeep sound amazing and second they custom ran the pipes so I dont have that grind from my rear sway bar sitting on my exhaust anymore :).... phase two is on order and should arive soon. I got a 8000 lb smittybilt winch and superchip programer thanks to payless 4 wheel drive and ordering my 3x2 LED light set with green covers from my friends at Texas Liberty LED tomorrow and should arrive around the same time everything else does, which translates into one big install party!

[graverobberjk]

No lights as of yet...still waiting on a reply from the owner of the shop. However I did get my winch and programmer yesterday and after some busted knuckles and a couple of lessons learned they are both installed :) and working great!!... also took my chrome jeep badge off my grill and replaced it with black for that little extra BAM!!!....waiting on the lights to post any pics

[xj4life2]

Again,
:worthlesspics:

PS Clean that engine its dirty :rolleye0012:

[bluedragon436]

Looking good Jon!!

[graverobberjk]

Here ya go everyone.....not really done with this phase yet, just ordered my lights an hour ago lol...but I still think she looks night and day from 1 year ago when I got her new :D pretty proud of my little Lillie

[graverobberjk]

And yes that is a payless 4 wheel drive plate frame :)

[EekGirl96]

Looking good Chewy!!!

[graverobberjk]

Looking good Chewy!!!

why thank you....should have my 2x2 LEDs next week, Im going to bumper mount them and tie them into the original fogger line... and yes I got the green lenses to go with them... infact the owner of texas liberty LED was so cool that because they didnt have any in stock he went out to his own rig and took his lenses off and shipped them to me free of charge....Gecko jeep nation at its finest right there!!

[EekGirl96]

Wow, talk about some great customer service!!!

[graverobberjk]

Wow, talk about some great customer service!!!

Tell me about it, at first I declined the offer, just him offering was an amazing gesture....but then he reminded me that he was packaging my order personally and he insisted one way or the other lol

[xj4life2]

And yes that is a payless 4 wheel drive plate frame :)

Showed Bill the pic he liked it and your jeep !!!

[graverobberjk]

Showed Bill the pic he liked it and your jeep !!!

Please tell Bill thank you and that im glad he likes the Jeep....also that im all to happy to promote payless....most of the stuff on Lillie came from there lol

[graverobberjk]

Since everyone wanted to see them so bad, here they are.... my new LEDS :D

[XJ Wheeler]

Lookin good! Fits it pretty well. Do you like the output?

Sent via messenger pigeon - i talk, he types.

[xj4life2]

Love the lights , don't forget to do what I told you with the winch rope, if you don't you'll be sorry.......
PS. and my light bar ???

[graverobberjk]

loving the output...I mean they arent blinding but they are only 2x2s....I am planning on adding a couple more just for WOW effect....probably wont do the 50" light bar, really serves no purpose other than burning eyes out of sockets at jeep meets lol....however I am interested in getting the LED headlights

[graverobberjk]

Love the lights , don't forget to do what I told you with the winch rope, if you don't you'll be sorry.......
PS. and my light bar ???

I have already done a minor set on the winch rope when I was testing the solanoid after the little incident....I need to find a place to let it all out and do the major set....I havent forgoten, just wasnt able to email it last night like I was planning on doing....Ill be sure to do it tonight though

[graverobberjk]

Over the weekend Lillie got some new shoes......well new to her anyways lol.....sure they are used but still have some good life left in them and hopefully will last until I can afford to get the tires I REALLY want.

[OneArmArrowSlinger]

Absolutely love the color! Lookin good w/ those new shoes on her!!!

[graverobberjk]

Thank you, I love my gecko....green is my favorite color and it fits....my fiance is in the process of doing grab handles and zipper pulls out of black and gecko para cord and I recently took out my ac bezel rings and painted them to match the body....later im going to ge the wet okole green and black seat covers and the green spider shade bikini top...little ankle biters when im building funds for the major mods.

[graverobberjk]

took the color scheme one step further over the weekend and did Green and black seat covers that I found on Amazon for cheap, Ill post pics when I get home tonight. I had to do something it had been months since I did anything to her and was starting to get the itch lol

[graverobberjk]
