SQRLPWR Posted June 21, 2013 Report Share Posted June 21, 2013 Looks good. Got any side before/after shots? Looking to install mine soon :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRUXterra Posted June 21, 2013 Report Share Posted June 21, 2013 No shots really, just gained back what I lost over the years of abuse. Winch is installed and yes, it works. Pulled the car up the driveway when installing the line. Pics to come soon, but you can't really see it as it's an enclosed bumper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrjoecanadian Posted June 21, 2013 Report Share Posted June 21, 2013 I am building a shopping list but I think mine might include lockers. Never mind I have a shopping list, and it does include lockers. Just can't buy all the stuff from my list at once. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobertMcC Posted June 22, 2013 Report Share Posted June 22, 2013 Took Jeep off the market, building a shopping list. Why sell something and have a new project with new problems, when yours is already paid off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4x4Mckay Posted June 22, 2013 Report Share Posted June 22, 2013 Because the new project would be paid off also, and a hell on a lot cheaper for mods and parts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty much same reaction to :P Today I took a look underneath the truck to do a closer check after the trail yesterday, all looks well. Only casualty was my trailer connector, tore the retaining clip right off (number 6) gonna have to re-mount that soon. I also installed my old LED light bar as a backup light, we all seen that coming :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SQRLPWR Posted June 23, 2013 Report Share Posted June 23, 2013 Had some fun with a few rattle cans.... First off, my boy wanted to paint his BMX frame...so being a dutiful dad, we stripped it and painted it a colour of his choice. The steel rims that came with my latest aquisition were original and very rusty, so a pack of cards and a can of Krylon Non-Skid Coating fixed that :-D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eastcoastcam Posted June 24, 2013 Report Share Posted June 24, 2013 ****!!! Those tires look newer than mine, lol! Nice job on the rims too :)! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SQRLPWR Posted June 24, 2013 Report Share Posted June 24, 2013 yeah those tires were a bargain for sure....thanks :-D the rims came out ok, they are rusty as hell and my prep was just 2 minutes with a wire brush. I wasn't planning on keeping them on, but I'm pleased the way they came out. gonna use the same paint on the plastics Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
backwoodsxj Posted June 24, 2013 Report Share Posted June 24, 2013 Wheels look awesome spaceace!What a neat idea with the deck of cards that is so cool!Where did that come from? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SQRLPWR Posted June 24, 2013 Report Share Posted June 24, 2013 Thanks :-) I'd like to say it was all my idea.....but I stole it off a random website ;-) I origianlly started with masking tape, but that was a pain in the butt. The cards took 10 seconds and worked really well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
backwoodsxj Posted June 24, 2013 Report Share Posted June 24, 2013 Just never seen that before very cool! I usually take a big piece of carboard trace out the size of rim (a spare rim works best) and cut out with olfa knife and lay on wheel.No tape needed. Yeah taping it off sucks!
