Here starts my slow build. I'm starting college this fall so time and money will slow progress here and there.
My parents had always told me they would get me a car if I managed to get college paid for. When that day became a reality I knew my dream car was inbound.
upon getting home I flipped the mirror, removed the dealer stickers, and installed the rubber mats it came with next became some cosmetic changes
tail light swap to oracle's smoked LEDs
before:
after:
next came in the third break light and side markers from oracle that were on backorder for 1 day?
before:
after:
somewhere during all of this I bought a pair of rubi rails that were new take offs i don't have before/afters but this picture shows them after their install
next I got rid of the hideous splash guards between the fender and plastic bumper
that is as far as I've gotten right now. I will be driving a lot from northwest arkansas to SMU (pony up!) for school so i do not want it to be the ultimate off roader and lose decent mpg but the hopefully around next spring or whenever these tires wear out ill get a lift and wheels. I don't have my heart set on any right now but id love comfortable and quality recommendations for probably 2/4 inch lift and 35s? as for next steps i have headlights that will actually put light on the road in front of me coming next week (the oracle oculus bi LEDs) and today another forum member is shipping me some take off drl so I will need to see about getting the jeep configured to properly run with those (suggestions are welcomed).
oh and lastly i went with a classic name for a big white jeep being "MOBY"
