Can anyone guess the movie that line is from??

Anyways, I never officially introduced myself on the forum so I guess now is good time....

I originally joined back in July when I was between searching for my first Jeep, between a TJ and a JK. Preferred the old school feel of the TJ and the rest is history.

Bought “Blue Ivy” (any jay-z fans here?) back in late august.
2003 X model manual in patriot blue with 92k on the clock. Came with both hard and soft top. Only mods were aftermarket headunit, 2-3” coil spaced lift, and 32” wheels and tires. Frame had some surface rust but inside felt clean, later verified with my boroscope.

Here are pics when I first picked her up

Thanks for all the kind words!

@fowldarr wow you took me back in time with that one haha
 
Nice Jeep...Way to get after that frame right away. What did you use?
I used 4 cans of Eastwood internal frame coating and 2 coats of POR-15 plus a top coat of the POR top coat on the exterior frame. Of course after all the necessary prep work. I think reading about all the frame rust issues in this forum have made me a little paranoid haha
 
Thanks! They’re actually the quadratec version rubicon extremes but pretty much same wheel

Yep, same wheels for sure. All made in the same place in China, just marketed under different names. It’s common practice.

Either way, I dig em!
