Default My Girlfriend's 09 Unlimited makeover

I went a little over board on my girlfriend's birthday this year. I bought a Skyjacker 4" longarm suspension lift and had it all powdercoated pink. I ended up doing some 18" XD monsters with some 35" Nitto Trail grapplers. I've also got some new 20" Fuel Kranks i bought for it. I'm debating to put them on or sell them. Had it aligned and still fought the steering so i installed a Fox steering stabilizer and it has improved.

Next upgrade is some knocker rock guards with pink inserts, smittybilt bumpers, and black leather with pink stitching.

You should get the sway and trac bars an all that done in the pink too, it'd look even better, good job tho, how much it cost to powder coat the kit?

Thanks,

I like the idea of coating more steering components. I've got some plans to tear down and do more powder coating this winter. I have about $200 wrapped up in the coating on the suspension and grille. I think the rock sliders with pink inserts will be a noticable difference.

I will work on getting pics with a better camera. These photos don't show how nice this jeep is.

I would like to sell the 20x10 Fuel Kranks if someone is interested. They're still brand new in the box. Got 5 of them

Thanks alot - I made the mistake of showing this to my wife...

All I can say is no pink on my jeep, no way, no how!! LOL

Seriously - nice touches with the PC. Just enough done along with your future plans to set it off.
