Got a lot done today. Got the jack painted to match the jeep, Lime green & Black. Picked up 16cans of gloss black at Walmart for $.97 each and went to town on the exterior of the jeep today. Has lots of runs but I Dont care about the paint anyways its my off road toy and I like to scratch it :)

Also repaired swaybar links and painted the sway bar & links lime green to match the paint theme.

Gonnt do the roof rack and door handles in lime green as well. Will post pics tomorrow when I'm finished.

[Adaa60]

6 Lime green shock boots, my new 1.5" trans drop kit & my Polly bushing kit just can in the mail! Yea more parts to add on tomorrow!

[Adaa60]

Went crazy today with spraypaint for this seasons off road fun. Took some photos not the best at night but will change them tomorrow.

[Adaa60]

Yea I see it now. I found a HD zj setup for pretty cheap but also saw some parts I could use from a 2003 ford f350 that I can make work and will be very very strong.

[Adaa60]

So I got Screwed again with this guy who was supposed to repair my axle. I'm tired of trying to repair it so. If I go to the junk yard, how do I know what ford 8.8 has 373 gears inside?

[Adaa60]

There has to be like a number or something I can look for....... Right?
