Last week and still plenty to be done (of course)

Looks like it was caught in a landslide.

Before and after pics. Took off gaudy light bar, replaced soft top with hard top, new LED headlights and replaced tires. Next will be new front, rear bumper and powder coating diamond plates black. Happy Jeeping!

Looks good! What do jeeps like that go for in Germany? Just curious.

Around 15000 € for a 2003 , the Rubicon cost more .

Pretty similar to what they go for in my part of the United States.

I guess you guys just get screwed on the cost of parts!

The photo on the for sale ad. Got it a few days after Christmas 2016

2 days ago. I know it's all cosmetic changes but now it feels like mine. New purple halo headlights & alternator so far. Next up new fog lights & tires. I love everyone's transformations. Super envious

How did you decide on that color combo?

 

[CasterTroy]

Shortly after purchase.....couldn't keep the kids from taking it

Made a few changes....Wife still liked taking it shopping

But I think I fixed all that now....too tall for any of them to get in it now

What namebrand flares did you go with? Were they flemsy feeling out of the box?

Can't remember the brand, but I would recommend going with the flat flares. More clearance. When I need a lot of articulation my tires were hit these flares and have cracked them the first time out. I will be going with the flat flares when I replace these.
Hope this helps.

Still a work in progress. New headlights and new grill coming soon.

Looking good. Like the black on yellow.

Probably after a few hits of acid.

What's made you decide on adding a one inch body lift instead of just going with a 3 inch suspension lift. Just curious. I just bought an 05 TJU Rubicon that's stock and will be upgrading.
