****'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.
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.
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
