Hello everyone,
it has been a farily mild winter thus far in Michigan with barely any snow until today, which we only got an inch...
Last week i washed my Jeep and took a few pictures...
so i almost considering putting my Jeep up forsale yesterday to buy an Red '03 F-150 fx4 with 90k miles but my dad said to just save up for a new one in a couple years instead of dealing with another used car. Then once i looked at these pictures i realized i have way too much time and money invested in my Jeep so ill keep her for a while longer.. I love my Jeep
Nice pics, thanks for sharing. Nice job on the clean up!! olish:
Like the 'built with wrenches' decal on the rear window!
I was in the same boat as you about this time last year when someone key'd mine. Thought of just putting up with it and getting something else this year when the loan finished. Then after thinking about it I knew that'd be crazy. So I repainted the doors and other areas, fixed any niggles and it looks brand new. I don't think I could part with mine now, just make her more beautiful... :lol:
Thanks. I have 2.5" Rusty's springs with a 3/4" leveling kit up front. I had a 2" budget boost but wanted bigger. The jk Sahara 32's barely clear... I need to do some trimming, but for a daily driver its good enough.
I have 2" daystar spacers bb for sale.. pm me if u want them. I'll give you a good deal
That is funny that you were looking at a 2003 FX4. I sold my 2003 FX4 to buy my 2005 WK Limited and proceeded to add lift and other options. Glad I did.
Paint looks REALLY good...someone's been polishing. Looks super clean man. And Ford trucks ain't got chit on our Jeeps. I think that particular make and model had some serious spark plug issues, so make sure you do some extra homework before spending any $$ on an Eff Juan Fitty. My buddy has an 04 I think and they are known to fuse the spark plugs to the blocks making a simple tune up just about impossible. Not to mention the plugs themselves are stupid expensive. Just a heads up in case you're in the market...

If he has an 04 it's not an issue at all. The issue is with F-150 and Mustangs from 05-10 (it might end in 2009) when Ford decided to switch from a 1 piece spark plug to a 2 piece spark plug. My parents bought a 06 F-150 and the first thing I did was change the spark plugs for them to 1 piece plugs (then you don't have problems). If that hasn't been done, an impact will take them out just fine w/out issues.
I would say that Jeeps don't have shit on the Fords. Not starting a brand war here, just being realistic. I had a 04 Mustang and my parents have the 06 F150. The only work ever done on those was simple oil changes. The same is FAR FAR from true w/ my Jeep.
Jeeps are known to have problems. Literally everyone I talked to before buying my Jeep told me about the issues that Jeeps have and how there's always something to fix. They were right, but I wouldn't trade my Jeep for any other vehicle. :thumbsup:
1. first i removed the bumpers off the Jeep.
2. wash them really good!
3. dry them, and clean them with wax and tar remover
4. once cleaned really good, spray few coats of adhesion promoter.
5. once dry i used Duplicolor paint for plastic bumpers-black..
6. a few coats of that with plenty of dry time
7. follow it up with some clear coat and let sit for a day or two and install.
-an easier way i wish i had gone was just done all the cleaning steps and painted them with truck bed coating so i didnt have to clear coat them...
-word of advise, make sure you do this in the summer time so its warm... just a heads up
$800 J/K bro. Here's the deal. I've watched you turn that Jeep of yours into something really nice on nothing more than a shoestring budget. You've really worked hard at it. Being the old fart that I am I really appreciate that kind of drive.That's old school stuff. How's you pay the shipping and I'll even throw in the red shock boots(Since they wont fit on my Bilsteins anyway:lolThere's one catch though.I stole my hose clamps that I used for the bottom of the boots and if I see you using zip ties on them I'll hate you forever:lol:Get your own hose clamps. The shocks have about 5k on them and have a tiny bit of rust on them from one winter. I'll post a pic here sometime tomorrow and try to get a line on shipping if you're into it.
God I Love Jeeps, all ive had were F350's and I love them, but I traded my last on in on My 03 limited, and at first I was sad (traded in for more family friendly vehicle). AND THEN IT SNOWED!!! So much more fun. My F350 did a whole lot better in 2' plus, but I havent lifted my jeep yet. Good looking ride man, even when theyre lowered they look great.
Looks good for the most part, I like the bumper and cladding painted, but the pepboys raised letters, "LIMITED" and the "I6" are a little gross, IMO.
I also dont care for rear window stickers, but I like the wheels.
Interior looks clean.
