NEW WHEELS

ROCK GUARDS ( Home made and I know they are just to stop rocks from beating my quarters to death on gravel roads)

TIME FOR PAINT

I used spray paint on the Jeep and it turned out great. Also my investment was $70.00 for everything ( rims and paint).

FINISHED

I also deceided to update the grill. I like the Waggy grill but wanted something different. I found some stainless mesh laying around the shop and cut it to fit behind the grill.

Also under the hood cowel.

I have since trimmed the edges under the screws so you cant see the "loose" ends.

I dont know if I like this or not but its done. It was a real pain making the shifter plate. All I used was a angle grinder.

PITA!!! But if you use a heat gun it helps. After you are done use carb cleaner to get any glue you missed.

Thanks Took a little bit of time for trial and error but I think it turned out well. I am working on a way to install the "what gear your in" indicator now.
