I kinda want to make them white, or at least LED. But they don't really bother me at all so I'll only do it if I have to take it all apart anyways

I thin there might be a green film so I'm not sure they can ever be true white, and I have almost all leds.

Unexpected wheeling with friends is a lot better than wandering around a car meet by yourself. Met up with Brandon for some night wheeling.




The exhaust came off. Again. I didn't get it welded yet and on the bumpy road to the spot the muffler and tail pipe came loose.

Meet and greet today too!




These 2 were rather. interesting.








Upside-down RC XJ stinger with tow hooks attached. And the plastic hood thing screwed on.





And well. This one...


Also flexed out to measure for bumpstop. I'm impressed.

It seems like you mentioned you bought a 50 inch light bar awhile ago... You should hook it up!

Yup. I've got a 50" and 4 3x3 LED pods, switches, and everything to wire them up. Just haven't gotten around to it with my work schedule. Wiring also isn't my strong suit lol.

Default Cliffs Trip

Went down to Cliffs Insane Terrain yesterday with Brandon, Jon, Tim, and some others and had a great time.




Only knocked my exhaust off (again), backed into a tree, did a wheelie, rolled on my side, popped a bead, dented my door, smashed my rocker and fender, drove full force into a tree stump, and went 10 miles at 50mph on 15psi. In that order











Brandon on the RTI ramp





Tim got stuck once





Jon beating the RTI ramp

My diffs took a beating.

Jon got stuck a few times lol

















This had to be a pucker moment.

Default Battle Damages (AKA Excuses for Armor)




Tree came out of nowhere I swear





Bead popped after the roll. Still held air. Had to fill it to almost 80psi to reseat it. Gonna suck when I take it apart to clean out the inside at work.





The rock that dented the door and popped the bead saved my jeep from roof damage





R.I.P. rocker and fender





It was hollow anyways
