Looks nice and clean. Lets see some pictures of it flexed. I feel ya being in high school and all. It kinda sucks not to bringing in much money and still do things that you want to do. The majority of my money goes to my jeep, the rest is just bills (cell phone, gas, insurance. etc....)

What are your next mods/future plans? I would definitly look into getting some sliders. I learned the hard way... mine are supposed to be here between monday and wednesday so they will be on sortly.

Looking good...

high school budget? shoot, do as much as you can now!! i had a lifted ford ranger back in high school, and life doesn't get cheaper! i sold the ranger and the quad to afford a commuter to move to Sacramento to attend auto. tech school and nearly 3 years later, i just bought my 93 ZJ, and have little to no money to put into it! I make more than twice as much money as i did back then, but i have 3-4x the amount of bills! I wish mine had at least a 4.5" kit, but i bought it with the 3" Rancho BB, and thats how it still sits today. Gas rices aren't helping my build either.

mines on a high school budget also, but mines more like a 40+ hour weeks all summer and no work during school year budget...i work a saturday here and there sometimes because i need gas

[dangerousdave]

Im on a college budget... Its not easy for me either. Basically I have 2 accounts one is the jeep fund, and the other is the life fund. The jeep looks good though. Its a great place to start.

your budget is cheating

looks really nice and clean, x2 on the flex pics!

[BigDaveZJ]

Some skids and rock sliders would be a nice addition.

[98ZJack]

Thanks for the compliments. Ill try to get some flex pics soon.
I'm going wheeling the weekend of the 17th.
It definitely is frustrating wanted to so much with so little.
Next on the list is protection (sliders/skids)

that things so clean. im assuming theres no mud where you live.

[ZachJ]

Very clean, I would def do skids and sliders. Mine used to be on a high school budget now its a college budget. Im from the east bay and would love to go to hollister some time.

Haha same here...college budget and two accounts....they both seem to be drained all the time though

[98ZJack]

We actually have tons of mud but my dad bitches when i park out front and the mud falls onto the street. so i always have to keep it clean for him. pain in the ass always having to pressure wash it. oh well.

[Goosed76]

I here ya about the mud- gets everywhere, including inside the axles, but man is it fun! I'm also looking into some protection, probably sliders first....

[98ZJack]

I haven't posted anything on here in a while.
Here are some pics from the end of summer.
South Bay Crawlers Hollister trip.

















Money has been tight lately but there will be more to come soon.

[stockzjwnc]

is that like camp jeep or something everything looks man made

[98ZJack]

hahha those are all the pics of the obstacle course which is man made.
I didn't have a camera with me and no one else took pictures on the trail, we were all busy driving.

[98ZJack]

haven't done shit to my jeep... so i decided to hack the front up.
came out pretty gooood.

[dp96zj]

mmmmmmmmmm i like. how'd you get the lines so clean?

[Hugh40]

Very good looking rig. Now hook it up with some black rubber trim to compliment the fenders and it will look even better.

[wdwarriors]

Damn dude I live close by! We should go out to Hollister sometime.

[zj95maxx]

That dark of tint is legal out there?

[19onebadzj96]

it appears to be only 15 percent, thats not too dark but it is still illegal. I run 15 on my fronts and 5 over 15 on all my rears

[dp96zj]

It doesn't look too dark, I think mine are about the same. But then again tint laws from state to state are never the same. I know plenty of reputable companies around here that do 5%, which I'm pretty sure is legal here.

[BigClay]

the trimming looks extremely clean! did you trim the ARB as well? What did you use to do the trimming?
