Figured it's about time to post a picture of my new Jeep. I bought it in December 2010 and it is completely stock (well, there are the dealer optioned bumpers/winch/CB, that the old owner had installed and ugly ass rims).

So far I have the following mods:
33x12.5 BFG's on 15x8 Soft 8's
River Raider Skids
Blacked out the chrome on the grill and the gas cap.
1 3/4" hockey puck lift kit

Good move dumping the bling wheels and going with the soft 8s.

Customized the bumper, cut off the section that hung in front of the tires.

I did cut the plastic thing to be the same width as the bumper, for now... but it's already showing that it wants to come off...

I actually de-badged it last night. The "Trail Rated" emblem looks much better attached to my toolbox!

I knew it wouldn't take too long for me to start the mods... and the good thing is, it has renewed my motivation to get working on the Nova!

Question.

I don't understand why you guys are taking off the "Trail Rated" badge... I know we are an open club, but really... maybe you guys should start looking for a new club [i]before[/i] you put on the lowering kits and 26" chrome spinners.

Here's to the modding!

While in Pismo this past weekend, I knocked one of the rear fenders off... figured that was a good indication that I needed to trim them to gain some fender clearance. Also finally removed the air dam... since it was hanging loose anyways.

Not too bad, but need to be straightened out a tad, sanding should take care of it.

Gives me an extra 2+ inches of wheel travel without that annoying bashing sounds... now time to go test it out!

Got my River Raider Skids installed this weekend!!! :drinks: Was a little bit of a bitch trying to get the nut tightened that hides inside the frame, but all in all, a fairly easy install (even though the instructions suck).

Time to get some Rocker Armor!

Sorry about the crappy picture quality... my computer has been DOA as of the past few months, so I took them with my phone and upload them on an alternate computer.
