Maybe I should have picked the screen name Rob's_LLC
(Looks_Like_Chucks)

Hey what can I say "BLACK IS THE FASTEST" there's NOT a better Rim for a L than the Chromed Factory Wheel, and w/ the Cowl Hood IT'S SIMPLY MEAN It's the perfect set up, (Chuck I tell people bout your 1 day built all the time, it's one for the record books ; o ) AND THE PRICE YOU DOG.....

THANKS EVERYONE

Mike I'm DEF getting a portable garage VERY SOON, you kept this thing SUPER
MINT and being blessed to be Back in Black and in better shape than my 02
IT'S STAYING SUPER MINT
For now I have that overpriced cover I showed you still in the box ; o )

And yes I HAND washed and detailed this Bad Boy BY HAND.
The Old Rob would usually just do a Qwik Detailer Spray right over the dirt and add 9 million swirl marks. BUT the new Rob said HELL NO : o ()
sooooooooo since it was too cold to have running water I actually did it from head to tow with buckets of red hot soapy water and brand new sponges.
Yes a few neighbors gave me the "There's that Wacko Washing his Car Look"
heehehehehe
Then used armorall cleaning wipes on everything under the Hood and Interior,
went back a second time with Super Gloss Armorall, some Tire Shine and some Wax and WOW WAS I IMPRESSED!!!

MIKE THIS THING IS SIMPLY BEEEEEEEEAUTIFUL, THANK YOU AGAIN

I should add I went out for a nice long ride and WOO HOO WOO WOO WOO
is all I can say (since I'm out of smilies). Starts right up, purrs like a Beast, and the drivability is simply amazing. Touch the Gas and WOO HOO WOO WOO WOO WOO !!!! (dam 4 smilely limit @$%(@$&$)
Stab it at basically anyspeed and YOU SPINNING...... It's everything and anything I could ever want!!!

This is "THE ONE"

Hey guys, I'm digging the blingy 00 rims! Are they factory wheels that have been chromed or polished? Or aftermarket? Ideally I would like to polish my spare set of wheels, but wonder about making a matching center cap. Fill me in on the details, or one of you will wake up to find your truck on jack stands! Rob, you live closer, sorry bud!

Hey you forgot I always Bought, Built, Raced, and Sold a Procharged Gt Convert too, hehehehehe
SOMEONE TAKE AWAY MY CC'S
And hey it's just not a Jeep : o ()
It's a SUPER JEEP and it happens to eat Stock L's for lunch ; o )

Whip I said that yesterday, I was never a fan of the 99/00 rims but after I put Chrome Fac Rims on Red and Mikes came with a MINT set on Blacky#2,
I honestly dont think there's a better rim for a L (IMO). I'm truly loving them big time. AND if you even need some you can get a Brand New Set w Shipping for @500.00 (maybe even cheaper)

Nice Tire Link Red (Thumbs UP) 17" hu.....
After driving it again yesterday I can tell you I will be going through tires like gas filters (pretty much every oil change) hehehehe

Got it with me at work today again, WOO HOO (before the snow comes tomorrow) I truly cant get enough seat time in this Beauty + the Beast....
THANKS AGAIN ALL.....

Maybe I'm partial as an original 00 owner, but I think its the best all around look period. And ya the chromies are sweet. Now, as for the new set for 500...whats the catch? Are they chromed aluminum or steel? Is the fit and finish decent? For 500 I'm on that like a fat girl on cake if they are nice!

I went for a ride in the Truck yesterday with Rob, and I gotta say I LOVE THAT DAMN THING......It made me miss mine even more though. Gotta save more money for my Motor/Blower and everything else.

AND it looks MUCH BETTER with the Hood and some detailing.
Words can not express how totally satified I am with "Beauty and the Beast"







Every single detail of this Bad Boy is Flawless, I ****** LOVE YOU MIKE
Hey Rob
I will bet that you didnt know that the hood started its life on a Harley truck
owned by Al (trashguy) from SI NY.

Rob make sure you put a bungie cord across the bottom of the cover!!!! It will keep the wind from flapping it and scuffin the edges!! I know mine is always under a cover and it makes a big difference!! Artie
