Sooooo about time I get my own build gives me a reason to look back on how far I've come. So let's get started... REMINDER: I don't have many before and after pics so please forgive me.. Let's get started down memory lane...

After I installed a K&N intake plan on changing it later on to another one I'll let y'all know ;)

I decided what route to take... Either I could go street or off road... I decided a bit of both something different I decided to go with the 18in Black Mamba MR1 wheels CURRENTLY wrapped in Goodyear Silent Armor tires (245/65r17) donated by my good bud Josh thanks !

I also plasti dipped the grille and installed my fog lights. Got a custom switch that goes to the right on the steering wheel I like it came with a black one but the voltage kept frying it so got this neat looking one :)

Car Vehicle Photography Auto part Electronic device


I do plan on painting the washer black :)

After I did a full LED interior job red in the back for my people who like to sleep don't shine the light in their face lol

Vehicle Car Driving Mid-size car Personal luxury car


After this I honestly forgot I think I did an exhaust job at first I did the flowmaster 40 series without a catback later on I teamed up with my team of bad influences (Jeff and Josh) and got a custom catback 2.5 exhaust job done keeping the flowmaster had a chrome tip but took that shit off and went classy with a black Gibson exhaust tip recommended by Hasan

I did receive a pair of smoked out fog lights from my buddy Connor along with my ported TB that I currently have on my pictures :)

After that I got some chrome side moldings provided by my good buddy Nick once again plastidipped them black and came out great also plan on getting them painted gloss black

I also changed out my headlights and make them HIDs a while back but I started out with 6k HIDs but decided I liked the 8k HID output color better they look outstanding

While all the lighting was being changed around I decided to change my reverse lights to LED reverse lights picture coming soon! Lol

I think one of the last few mods I did which is fairly recent has to be the TB I got Connor ported and polished he does amazing work for a great price finally grew the pair and put it on freaked out a couple of times till I got it on right and fit like a glove got amazing acceleration for all 3.7 peeps this is a MUST mod. :)

I installed a remote start for the jeep as well

And my last mod I did was the 2008 headlights which got my head going for a 2008 front end conversion

Sooooo getting a nifty paycheck this week sooooooo daily poll of the week is... A new intake from injen ? Orrrrrrr double din? Either performance or aesthetics let me know ! :) thanks gents
 
#23 ·
my vote for the double din! Any ideas which one you looking for? Some are really neat with movie,ipod,mp3 capabilities. Def nice for the gf on trips hehe
 
#26 ·
Double din bro. You've already got a k and n intake so I doubt you will see any noticeable performance gain. You may even lose some hp... Besides a double din isn't just for aesthetics it's for audio too
