In!

Hard to take pics of this but it looks super secksy.

[cowboy63b]

give it time, the shit will begin flying at it.

[downtowncb]

Good job on the headliner! Mine started disintegrating so I just got a new one from the junk yards.

[Hockinaloogie]

The headliner looks cool man. What kind of material did you use?

[ZJninerWJ]

Black MicroSuede

You are aware that the name of this site is an intentional misnomer, right?

Anymore trail pics?

Yes. You might be able to tell by the proposed mod list that this will be a dual-purpose rig, still have good on-road manners while being able to take a weekend beating, all from the comfort of a luxurious and refined cabin.


Whenever i can receive and install the rest of the mild lift & tires, we shall have more trail pics. My stock tires are junk and really a buzzkill for when i want to go wheeling.

[it usually runs fine]

It looks like it needs to be fucked up.

Since everyone has been showing off their pimpin headliners, I made this with a buddy of mine a few years ago. My headliner was fallin down so I ordered new fabric for it. Then I got the idea to glue down rope in the pattern of flames and glue the fabric over it. Looks really cool in real life, you can kinda get a good idea of what it is in the pics. Cost me bout 30 bucks.

Redneck pinstriping?

[Jeeptech01]

It looks like a herd of sperm swimming across your roof.

To the OP you'll find out quickly that most here dont care about your tint percentage, smoked taillamps or what oil you use. Now if you lift and cut that bitch to fit some 33's or 35's and go beat it on the trails you'll get alot more interest.

With that said eat shit and welcome to MC.

The headliner is pretty cool though btw.

i'm used to extensive mod list creation, so i kinda did the same here. This ZJ will only see a 32" All-Terrain as i do quite a bit of highway with it and a solid mud tire would nowhere near provide enough miles out of it. The plan is to make this thing really solid and dependable by the end of the build, which with my part-time income and college, will take some time.

[Hockinaloogie]

Since everyone has been showing off their pimpin headliners,

Lol, thats kind of funny. Not your headliner, but the fact that we are all that really fucking bored and I might say Talented, that we even go as far as mod'n the fucking headliner..

[Jeeptech01]

This ZJ will only see...

Lots of threads here have started out with that saying LOL. Its a nice rig. We'll see what happens.

But I'm a college student, who is already poor and the mustang hiding in the back of some of these pictures is mine too. Two money pits are makin me

[Jeeptech01]

One will win the other will loose. There can be only one..

Yes "Highlander"

[ZJninerWJ]

hmmm, now i'm undecided again.

265/75R16 Nitto Terra Grapplers or BFG KM2's
what kinda mileage are you guys seeing out of the KM2's? I'm hoping for around 50-60k (optimistic)

[cowboy63b]

just rid yourself of the stang and build something worth talking about.

[Jeeptech01]

Look at treadwright.com people say they get 40-60k out of a set.

[ZJninerWJ]

just rid yourself of the stang and build something worth talking about.

never.

[ZJninerWJ]

Bored. Found a Picture:
