kjweston's kj converted

[kjweston]

So when I turned 16 it was either between a yellow Nissan exterra in Miami or a silver sport kj in my hometown. All said and done the kj is what I chose because I was terribly anxious to get a first car. And I figured what the hell the 4 wheel drive might be kinda fun. little did I know. Extremely glad I got the kj instead of the exterra. I've put a lot of money into it, and my longtime girlfriend is very jealous of my "love" for it. She's not a jeep chick (chevy cobalt) so I don't expect her to understand.. Anyways here are the pics of when I first got it.

haha Thanks guys. And idk. Theres quite a few in ft. myers area. At least six totally different places I can think of off the top of my head that are all huge. cops try and block them off but there's so many entrances to most of them.
heres the last of my pics as it stands today.. I'm only 17, but have spent everything I earn on the jeep and did all installs myself which saved SOOO much money. Cause like budke my friends also made fun of it. who's laughing now.. ha

Now all that's left is bed liner. And ARB bumper, and eventually a SFA.
well there ya go kjweston's kj converted.

 

[kj924]

I suppose there's a perfectly reasonable explaination for the pink paint.(whistle)

 

[kjweston]

It looks as if you may be a cheater......lol

See one might assume. but that's the craziness of that whole ordeal. My girlfriend spent the night when this happened. Two girls that I have never dated or done anything to did this. AND I never cheated. lol common misconception.

Why is the spare a Moab and the rest the other rims???

I bought a buddies rubi spare that he didn't need when he got new rims. The other 4 were really thrashed. waiting to find a set of four for cheap to match them all

Nice Effin KJ!
That Rig looks wicked with the blacked out Bumpers, flares, wheels
and front marker/tail lights!

In my opinion, A Silver Sport is the best colour for a KJ!
I like the gray bumpers/flares just as much as the Black bumpers/flares
like on your KJ!

Tough decision.
Considering I already have enough semi-gloss black paint for my wheels.
And thats the colour of my Backbone winch mount.

By the way?

Let your friends laugh, there just jealous they don't have a sweet looking
ride like yours!

Cheers

Ry'

 

[ridenby]

Very nice KJ. If you ever figure out females PM me

 

[kjweston]

Haha Thanks Ry'

and they wouldn't dare laugh now.

Just stock silver sport liberties aren't the manliest of cars. Takes some mulah to bring em to life.

oh and how could I forget my libby's "aura"

(silverstar ultra all around)

I'm hagin out with my wife Jen at her work this morning and showed her the photo's of your Rig and she say's.

"Ya ok, I really like the black wheels, bumpers/flares! OK! Go for it! Paint 'em black, I can hag with that! "

I'll be leaving here in an hour or two and going to work on our KJ.
It's time to rip the front bumper off and mount the Backbone this week.

Cheers

haha I'm glad I could be an inspiration.

What kind of paint did you use for the bumpers and fenders and such?
I need to complete my murdered out look and the gray fenders aren't helping.
I was thinking painting them or putting some bedliner on them.

I used VHT Epoxy Paint in satin black. DON'T SAND IT. I sanded one and it looks like sh*t. it might look nice if you used some extreme grit sandpaper but just cleaning them very good with dawn worked for me (use your pool if you have one makes rinsing very easy) i took each piece off to paint them took a can each side. So 4 cans and that's a good two coats on everything. I'm eventually going to bed line my belt line down though. this was just to hold me over till I get the balls to sand my baby's paint.

 

[Jeepkj04blue]

Sick KJ...I love it..Nice Jeep.

 

[HoosierJeeper]

I have a pool...but I don't wanna bedline any of my paint!

So, maybe I missed it, what lift are you running, and how many inches?
