Well, this is my first post. I've been stalking this forum for a while though.
I figured since my Instagram followers are probably getting tired of all of my progress pictures, I should just start up a build thread, so here goes.
Here's how she started out. I bought it from my uncle, the second owner, about 6 months ago. It had 270,000 miles on it and still going strong without issues.
First thing I did was a lift. I ordered a rough country 4.5" lift, and bought some 31" tires with wheels off craigslist.
Halfway done
And lifted.
Next thing I did was a lightbar. No, I didn't drop the dough on a name brand one, I just got a $70 amazon one and made my own brackets. Cheap and works great.
Then, I got tired of the look of the front bumper, so I took all the trim off and cut the corners off.
Flag pole mount, just because.
Then one day, me and my sister decided to paint it. Not bad for a $50 paint job.
Added bedliner/black emblems
Flag decals
Removable door mod.
Rock lights!
Then I welded together a JCR diy winch bumper kit.
