hey how do you have your license plate mounted in the front behind the grill? I like the clean look of it

 

he's going to be just like fabian but instead of using expy mirrors he's using acura mirrors

 

Thanks guys! 4x4, I take that as a complement; thank you!
24, I think you may be right; so don't get your hopes up too high!


I had a pretty crudely made bracket up there before the accident. Right now it's just up there with Zip-Ties (old VW thing...). My goal is that it won't stay like that - lets just say I'm not done with the front quite yet!

 

Ive been following this thread for a while... the only time during the day that my blackberry vibrates that is acceptable to me is when this thread is updated.

Glad you got her back and looking fine!!!

 

is the grill not painted?

 

Thank You Very much!
I think it's pretty cool that so many people are watching!


*sighs*
no, it's not.
It's the factory XL grille.
I've had it since the truck was new (and I've never been a fan).
But the fact that they didn't have to buy headlights or the grille helped me get the PTM bumpers.

So, this brings up a good point.
Does anybody have any ideas for the grille?
I was thinking a "Patman-Style" Honeycomb.
(With some Fogs behind the grille maybe?)
Or maybe a FX2 grille?
(I wish they made a badgeless FX2, that would be freakin' sweet)

I'm thinking something matte-black, OEM looking (to match the headlights).

But I'm open to suggestions;
any thoughts?

 

What about Darren's Roush grille idea. He did a super job on his, painted it black. What if you PTM'd a roush to your truck?

 

the grill is throwing the truck off... gotta get it painted

 

How the hell did I miss that?
That sounds pretty cool...
Search here I come...

I know, I know...
Don't remind me!






BTW, check your PM Grafix...

 

hehehe theres no way that its legal to have your license plate mounted where it is is there? I can barely see it! Hell my front plate is in my windshield more visible than that and ive still gotten abuse from cops...clean look though i like it a lot

 

Haha thanks...
no problems so far..
*fingers crossed*

 

I know that I haven't updated this in awhile.
Too many of my limited funds are going towards books.
(Damn new semester )

But I made a deal with the guy at the audio shop next to where I work. I traded him some old Traxxas R/C stuff that I wasn't using anymore, and he's building me a snazzy center console.
I was gonna wait until he was done so that I wouldn't be posting the all hated "teaser thread" but he's taking too damn long and I want to share. Although I can't complain, seeing as I'm not having to pay for anything.
Oh, before I start with the pictures; I want to apologize for the quality.
All I had at the moment was my phone...

Okay, so I think that everybody's seen my center console



It's for a Jeep, so it's a little narrow and it's a little short, but it's a really good length.

Getting started on ripping things out.
It always scares me a bit, seeing as I'm still paying on her...




With the frame rails out



Factory Parts!
(It's for sale btw. ...and I need stuff, so I'm game to trade!)



Box in process...



Installed!
sorta...
test fit anyway



With console



Another Shot



Still waiting on Carpet...
D'oh!

Thoughts?
Opinions?

Edit:
I forgot, I wanted to add the list of parts that I'm hoping to source before the end of the year.
Maybe somebody can help me out?
(Mods, I know this isn't the classifieds, and I don't want to cause any drama so if this isn't cool just let me know and I'll remove this part - Thanks)

-FX2 or Honeycomb Grille
-Lower Honeycomb Grille
-3D Carbon Lower Valence
-OEM Chrome Trim Rings around HVAC Vents
-Center caps for the OEM 17" Wheels (I want new wheels, but I know I can't afford them; unless of course you want to donate to the cause! haha)
-New Visors (I really want black, but Dominic at Tasca said they only made grey and tan, so grey I guess. Mine are falling apart it's my fault, but I learned a lesson about upholstery! haha)

 

Looks great man

 

double post

 

For being a fellow college kids wish i had the funds you do. But paying on my truck/gas and for school just about ties up all my moolah that i make.
