The day i got it from the dealership



Then got it home still stunned that i had gotten it





Not to long after first thing to go as usually





After all this I had found a cool place hidden off the high way and did a little mini wheeling, unfortunately not very many pictures









Then all clean!





This was all fun but got me sucked into doing more… so after getting her all cleaned up deciding what i need to do, this showed up at my door!





and a few other things also like the led interior, license plate, reverse








Unfortunately i work really slow with a broken hand, work,and school but i did get the bumper on just not the lift yet but its nice now i have room in my garage for my other project car to fit and my brothers car to pull back in




So now I'll post up once i get my lift on and hopefully more to come!

I have ALL of these things. Broke my right hand earlier this year too!! Hope yours heals quickly and fully.

The Xmas bumper is great. Good luck getting the lift on.
 
Yea unfortunately it probably won't every be 100% back to normal but I'm hoping for the best, but thanks! Im glad i have a brother who's a real tech to help me out.
 
Got a little up-date with some before flex test on the biggest curb I could find and just a little after I took pictures it turned in to a blizzard… in Texas… thats just not right but great for me to test out the 4wd system and I am pretty darn impressed especially sense it is mostly ice right now but it felt good passing people goin up a hill while they where stuck. just to show you how much it iced here that tree was hanging at least 8 ft lower than it should be.







 
So i got more things done today, got my lift on! and man it amazes me how it looks in person because i new what i was getting into just nice to finally see it sitting in front of my house :bounce:. Driving it isn't to bad i was as most expecting it to be a little stiffer but its pretty conferrable for me. Any way i only have one bad shot of it and some pictures of the comparison of the springs and i still have a couple more thing to do like tires, winch controller, and my skids back on but i also snapped a pic of me and my brother (before lift) in the driveway. I'm so worn out though doing this all in 9 hours with one hand haha :crutch: but it was worth the pain!







 
about time i finished things up for now haha got a few more pics. I got the winch wired up right and skids back on and despite my bad luck of the first 5 minutes of having my lift on yesterday i got a nail in my tire but it was a good thing because thoughs where gone gone.



but luckaly i got a set of tires from jediwebdude a while back and just happen to have them mounted in the shed… lucky me



and got the spacers on with them now



and got my sticker finally









i also have a little side project with the turn signals and need some ones opinion on when i sider them in to the harness on the signal it self then clam it on the the factory harness would I have and voltage issues? but i made some plates to hold the leds in there.





and they obviously will not be sitting that close.







Also snaped a cool comparison against my mom runner :D

Then i had some extra christmas cash laying around so i when to 4WheelParts and my self some christmas presents, a recovery strap and some hella 700 ff, then i parked next to this rig a cabalas, this thing was loaded!
