Armie - My '07 Sport 4x4

[BDEE]

Oh yeah, almost forgot..

I did a before and after for the Armor All Outlast Trim and Plastic Restorer. No idea on longevity since I just did this today, but made one heck of a difference.

A few weeks back I had bought a brand new grille off Rockauto for a good price, and was going to use it unpainted black. After test fitting I decided the gray and black clashed too much, so I set out to find something to match the grille to the plastics. I have used Plasti-Dip in the past with good results (see black wheel covers earlier in this thread) so I decided to go that route. I ended up buying three cans off Dipyourcar.com as that is apparently the only place you can buy the Dark Gray / Charcoal color. Turns out it was a good match to the plastic. I think the change is good..

So after debating whether I would like it or not, I bought a bull bar for a decent price. I've been rocking it for about a month now by itself, but today I decided it was time to put it to the real use I had intended for the bar, by installing my 20" LED light bar. I think it came out ok.

i like it with the led bar, if it was by itself I probably wouldn't dig it as much

Nice going, BDEE! :favorites13:

 

[uss2defiant]

now you just need a red LED bar with the oscillating light and you'll have your own Jeep KITT

BDEE what are the lights you have hide in the bottom of your grill? I was thinking of adding some like that.

 

[Whitee]

Thanks, I agree!

I actually used Plasti-Dip for the wheels, the rattle can version. It sprayed pretty easily, laid down pretty even and has been holding up really well. They have been black for a few weeks now with no issue.

did you take the wheels off and tape them I want to paint my wheels

They were some cheap $20 from walmart, I think Blazer brand. If I recall correctly, they were 2.5"-3" in diameter which is about all that'll fit back there.

I had actually painted a set of chrome wheelcovers, but if I was actually to paint my wheels, I would remove them from the vehicle and then use note cards placed between the tire and wheel in a fanned type of manner to mask the tire.

I went with the 927s in the front, and the 948s in the rear. My buddy offered to do it but I think I will be taking it to a shop for installation.

Like to see it when you're done, great to have another lifted KJ in Ohio

Oh there will definitely at least be pictures. It will probably receive new wheels and tires in the spring as well.

Hows the install coming along? Anxiously awaiting some pics. :mexsmoke:

 

[twowings]

Looking sharp!

Making preparations, went to take care of that the other day and remembered that something needed to be done about the rear brake lines. Once I get that taken care of, it will be installed. I'm hoping sometime in the next two weeks.

Looking sharp!

Thank you!

 

[BDEE]

I am hoping to get the lift installed this week, but in the meantime these showed up:
