FooK's latest project...
So my latest project is preparing a new display vehicle for SEMA 07.
When the idea of the show came around, I almost right away insisted that we sell our current Jeep, and buy another one, and go bigger and better. This is the previous Jeep. It tallies in at about $30K including $23K purchase. http://www.warriorproducts.com/images/catalog/jk1.jpg We sold that Jeep, and I picked out this one. It's not an 08, but I couldn't get my hands on one, plus this one had the oh so hard to get hold of half doors. http://i47.photobucket.com/albums/f1...roy/newjk2.jpg http://i47.photobucket.com/albums/f1...roy/newjk1.jpg This is an 07 Wrangler Unlimited X. It's the base model, with cruise added, and the half door option, and a soft top. I have alot to do to it and very little time. Aside from the products we make, being body plating, bumpers, roof racks, rock bars, and so on, I've got a laundry list of sponsored stuff going on the Jeep too. The sponsor list: JBA Stainless Exhaust Airaid Air Intake Airaid Throttle Body Spacer Scangauge II MileMarker SI9500 Winch 2 QTY - PIAA 510 Off-Road Lights 2 QTY - PIAA 540 Off-Road Lights 4 QTY - PIAA Pro80XT Off-Road Lights PIAA Wipers Tuff Country 4" Performance EZ-Flex Lift w/driveshafts ProComp Cast Blast 7005 Wheels 17x9" ProComp Extreme MT 37x12.50x17 Xenon Flat Tube Fender Style Flares Hunsaker ICON Reclining Suspension Seats (4 buckets total) Superior Gear 5.13 or 4.88 gears And hoping for a Jet Module to finish up the "underhood" package (more hoping for a damn supercharger) I might be missing something here, but who knows. NOW, onto the progress. Over the last couple of days, I've installed the Airaid parts, and began working on our new winch bumper, so we have a place to put the SI9500. Here's some pics of the intake system and the mockup winch bumper mount http://i47.photobucket.com/albums/f1...oy/airaid2.jpg http://i47.photobucket.com/albums/f1...oy/airaid1.jpg http://i47.photobucket.com/albums/f1...inchmount2.jpg http://i47.photobucket.com/albums/f1...inchmount1.jpg |

Re: FooK's latest project...
Thats nice Fookie.
Im thinking about becomming a poser(because my Cherokee is 2wd) and lifting the it a bit in order to stuff some 33s under it on the stock 17s. It needs new tires anyways and I only need a 2" lift which I can get with those gay ass poly. spring seats and stuff some BFG mud terrains in there. Wadaya think? |
Re: FooK's latest project...
Owning a 2wd jeep is equivalent to a NA D series, NA v6 F body or caviler cheerleader car. its pointless.
I think you should trade it for a 4 wheel drive XJ. Dont you have the WJ body style? sweet lookin but more problematic than the XJ's. |

Re: FooK's latest project...
Nice, my DD is an '01 XJ, and the project jeep is an '84 hardtop postal CJ-8, yeah it's RHD :6
Question, do the new wranglers still come with the 4.0 or do they have a V6? Those engine shots look like a V config. |

I don't really like the looks of those 4 door Wranglers. They look too big and long. :l __________________ Best Car Insurance | Auto Protection Today | FREE Trade-In Quote |
