Project About Damn Time
Ok so long story short, back in July 09 I bought an 04' TJ. In Jan 10' my GF and I got t-boned by a guy who blew a red light, TJ was totaled. We both walked away unharmed and I made out with $4000 more then I paid for the jeep.

3 weeks later after nonstop searching I find a 2008 2door X, with 9k miles and both tops at a VW dealer. They were asking $24k, and seeing as I have my 01'XJ to drive I figured I'd offer $18k and see what happened. To my amazement they agreed!!!
[IMG][/IMG]
So after nearly a year or reseach and studying I closed my eyes and hit multiple "PLACE ORDER" buttons hahahaha
As the JK sits now:
Body Armor High Clearance Bumper with homemade skid
2 KC Slimlites
Roll Cage mounted HI-LIFT
Hella Twin Super Horn Kit
Daystar Switch Panel
Teraflex Grab Handles
New Toy List:
Rock Krawler 2.5'' Mod Lift
Full Traction Shocks
Off Road Evolution EVO C2 Axle Gussets
JKS Adjustable Rear Trackbar
Rough Country Sway Bar Disconnects
Crown Extended Brake Lines
35x12.50R15 Goodyear Wrangler MTRs w/Kevlar
15x8 Cragar Soft 8s
One night this week Im mounting the tires, and hopefully saturday we can do the lift!
Many more pics to come!!

Haha visits from Brown Santa are the best, even when you already know exaaccttyllyyy what it is, its still exciting. I cant think of a singler person who isnt excited when that big brown truck rolls up.

yea i hear ya, i actually wish i had a welder and some air tools because that would totally help out in the long run. I really like the bumper you fab'd up it looks sick.
Figure a good welder and some cutting and grinding tools would help cut the cost of a bumper/carrier combo down alot
