Smile My Lightly Modded Daily Driver
Hello all!
Been lurking around here since I bought my deckec out 2 door X last October and thought I'd chime in. Done a few mods to it, here's how it started life:



and now:



So far:
2" Full traction BB
Factory Rubicon tires from a fellow board member
1 1/4" aluminum spacers from another board member
2 1/2 " shock extensions from another board member
K&N drop in filter with a bunch of holes drilled in the airbox
Homemade grill mesh insert
trailer hitch and wiring

Next, some lights on the bumper

Whatcha think????

Looks great - I can't wait myself to pick up some take-off Rubicon tires - that alone steps up the look....

there is a bit more engine noise, power increase is just enough to notice and mileage improved 1.6 mpg. All these things make me happy
