reson46 Posted September 5, 2008 Share Posted September 5, 2008 Looks nice. A couple of suggestions. 1. You can add posts to a single project thread instead of creating a new thread every time you post. This will make it easier for everybody to watch your MJ evolve and see what it originally looked like. 2. PLEASE turn off the caps lock. :thumbsup: Willy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeepcom23 Posted October 18, 2008 Share Posted October 18, 2008 Looks good, it looks kind of odd with the vent cover painted as well. BTW is that a stock JEEP gray? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ricksjeepster Posted October 20, 2008 Author Share Posted October 20, 2008 Actually they`re gray because the guy who did the paint job made a mistake , at least thats what he said , i believe that maybe he couldnt take those things off , anyways i took them off and paint `em black again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ricksjeepster Posted March 3, 2009 Author Share Posted March 3, 2009 I took it for a last "low" ride before the 4" lift 3 days before lift then a drunk bastard appears broke the rear window with my head skull print while waiting for a green light this stupid-drunk guy did not even try to stop, he stoped at my rear bumper and spare tire (wich ended in the middle of the avenue) since this took place in Baja Mexico it´s gonna be a long legal process until i get paid and recover myself from the injuries i got that day really sucks...

ricksjeepster Posted March 3, 2009 Author Share Posted March 3, 2009 Thanks guys I'm thinking this is the best moment to do the bucket seats swap (with headrest of course ) also did this upgrade after a few problems breaking the speedo cable plastic clip, finally got it working did some custom rocksliders based on someones project around here Thinking to do a custom rear bumper with steel plate or some material like that; any suggestions???

500 MJ Posted March 4, 2009 Share Posted March 4, 2009 How much money are you getting out of the whole accident ordeal? Might as well put it toward a good cause :wrench: Very nice truck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ricksjeepster Posted March 4, 2009 Author Share Posted March 4, 2009 I don't have an exact number but based on the budget by a body shop manager it will be between 750 and 900 bucks, i have found a few parts like tail lights and rear window in near places in a very good price so if theres a little money in the pocket i will use it for the 97+upgrade I was thinking about doing the chinese 2500 upgrade but then i got this crazy thought about having an accident where my imported parts could get all damaged and all the mess that i´ll have to go tru´ so I can get a new set of it . Then this accident happened so i decided to go for the 97+ ;) wich will be easier for me to find parts for the MJ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
