What did you do to your TJ today?

[Reign Mack]

Can you still get a USB plug into it?

Lol no maybe something small like the iPhone cables but no the regular USB ones with all the Reenforcement they add around them. I will have to replace this with a blank plate and move the connected the left so it faces the left side of the vecile which will he just fine.

I just need to place it where the green arrow is instead of the link one.

Finally went from 33" to 35" on the tires. Also changed wheels going from 16" to 17". To accommodate the taller tires, I've ordered a set of Metalcloak high arch front fenders. I looked at additional lift but decided to change the fenders instead. I prefer keeping the lower center of gravity.

Got any before/after pics? I'd really like to see a low center of gravity lift with 35's. Also, how much lift do you have?

Man why do y'all talk about changing gears like it's child's play? It appears to be the one modification that gets messed up the most often!

Can I come visit CA and get you to put in some 4.88's?

Looks so much like my red Jeep X. Now I know what it would look like with a ragtop!

I went from the typical shitty rusty door latches, to nice freshly blackened door latches!
Some brown paper, a lot of blue tape, a fair amount of wire wheeling, and some good ol' Rustoleum Flat Black Enamel!

I feel so much better not seeing that rust now. Not perfect, but *SO* much better!

Done!!

Thanks!
It was surprisingly easy! Just making sure the masking was good took a little while, but really only took me about an hour to get both prepped and ready for paint.
Definitely worth the effort!

 

[Rob5589]

I did mine the same way. Much better afterwards.

Ahhh ok! Of all the skills you can learn, that's probably one of the most specialized!

Wow! What a difference! That came out spectacularly wrll @Ryan Thomas. My drivers door handle is pretty shitty looking, with paint chipping and the beginning's of rust. I was just going to buy a new one, but I may go your way and paint them, door handles are expensive. What did you attach the wire wheel to? A dremel? I want to do mine is gray, how do you think that would look on a black Jeep? Thanks for the inspiration, I'm certainly going to paint mine soon.

Door latch came out nice. I plasti-dipped mine when I first bought it but still need to actually paint them.

Installed some Georgia Mountain Cord door limiting straps. These are beffier than I expected, high quality & handmade. It's the little things that make me happy.

I lifted my front seats 2 inches yesterday. I'm 5 foot 10 but have felt like I was setting on the floor. I really like this mod so far. Much easier to get out of the rig as well as a better front view.

Just little wire brushes attached to my drill - although a dremel would probably work as well (And might also be a lot easier to manipulate!).

As for the grey on black, I think I would only do that if the flares were the same color - otherwise it would be the only stand-out grey piece. Don't really know for sure, though... I could be totally wrong, and it might look awesome! If you don't like it, it's easy enough to re-do

Really nice!
I still need to put another footman's loop on my passenger door so I can put a strap back on it

I agree. Grey door handles on a black Jeep might shout LOOK AT ME!! I AM THE DOOR HANDLE! WATCH ME WORK!!
