Nemesis build

[Dune Crawler]

Thought I should start a build thread to keep all my photos of the jeep in one place and see how she grows. So here I go. Picked her up 2012 as a high school graduation present.

First day home.

two weekend later I Installed a 2.5 rough country lift and got her all muddy

1st year of college

2nd year of college
This year of college

Decided to do a little painting
Younger brother picks up his jeep

4 months later dad has one too pulled 35's off to get better MPG driving home depressing

How she sits today and can't wait to do more mods

Kind of overkill but no more hood flutter.

That hood thing kind of looks cool. Can you explain it a little?

 

[RMC2]

Never thought about hood pins.

It's a old simply design that a lot of rally car/racers use. This probably explains it a lot better than I can. http://youtu.be/NDFxy6shSTk

Crawler conceptz bumper arrived
Some protection before cutting

Cutting off the crash bar


Cutting off the horns

Cleaned up the cuts and sprayed it down before it got dark, installing bumper tomorrow

 

[Dune Crawler]

letting it sit till tomorrow morning is going to hard

 

[RMC2]

Nice bumper. Didn't know you had to cut all that off. Guessing it will give a better approach angle.

PSC fairlead mount on its way but until then I have to run my dually's towards the ground using the fairlead light bracket

Now onto my next project. Deciding if I want to connect my rear bumper lights to my tail lights or to the trailer hitch
