Well as the I said this is my 5th Jeep, started at 16 with an XJ, had 2 ZJ's, and now 2 WJ's.
I do not have a pics of the XJ.
Jeep #2

Jeep #3

Jeep #4

And lucky #5!
This is what it looked like when I bought it.

Tinted the front window (first time tinting myself)

Put some switch-back LED's in it.

Then HID fogs.

Here are some mud pics with my ZJ and my WJ before I sold the ZJ

My buddy in the mud

Both clean

Now added the roof rack and a 2" BB.

Wow, I am only on my second. Any stories to go along with those accident photos?

 

[johnsjeep]

The first ZJ was a 94 and I blew up the 318 and had gotten a 5.9L with about 60k for free so I threw that in, the tranny went out about 8 months later, waited a year, put a used one in from the JY and heading to work that Monday some lady took a left turn and ran her red light and T-boned me. Ended up rolling it a couple times.

The second ZJ I was still young and dumb and financed a 2000, drove out to WA after putting a 2" on it and took out a phone pole, tree, and a fence going too fast.

Thrid Jeep I actually sold, picked it up in Seattle for $1,400 and sold for $3,200 after a little work, only pay cash for em now. Seattle is a good place to get some CHEAP ZJ and WJ's!!!

 

[johnsjeep]

I was bored and showing a friend how to change his oil on Saturday so deceided to make my third brake light into an LED light instead of paying $130 for one on ebay.

I started with a couple of regular strips of LEDs I bought off ebay a while back, I only had red left though.

I cut off the back of the stock light.

It still looks stock when its off.

But now it has 33 LEDs

 

[85IrocZ-28]

Cool idea, POST PICS! I want to see as I have been looking at LED third brake lights lately to match my LED tails.

 

[johnsjeep]

I had posted pics from JU but they keep going away, I think they only show up when I am logged into JU. I have been looking at the led brake lights to match my third brake light now. I love the ones you bought and found a good price on them.

 

[johnsjeep]

Just got my rock lights and switch in today, also just got my grille with the chrome inserts in. Still have to paint it black but now I will be able to swap grilles when I get bored of all black.

 

[85IrocZ-28]

That looks sweet! Great idea.

If your having problems with the pics, I like Photobucket.

 

[johnsjeep]

I would but I can't from work and 99% of my time spent on these forums are me being bored at work

 

[johnsjeep]

Rock lights!

Finally had a chance to put my rock lights on!!!
Here is where I mounted my switch, I decided to just use one switch for all the rock lights.

And here are the lights.

I had a few left over so put one under the hood and used the factory switch.

Here is where I put my two relays.

 

[johnsjeep]

Grille

I bought a second grille so I can change between an all black grille and a black grille with chrome inserts, I had gotten this grill cheap and have to paint it then cut the current grille off.

I had to remove the chrome trim rings first.

All removed

Sanding

*Update*
Did some more sanding of the grille, primed and painted today, also cut the old grille off using Iroc's method he suggested and cutting it off with a razor blade and it worked pretty good. Need to clean it up and will post pics once I get off work.

I have a sticker under the hood of my jeep stating that this same recall has been completed. However, it had already been done before I bought the jeep.

 

[johnsjeep]

"TTB LT265/70R17E BSW All Season Tires"

Here is another thing I noticed, I didn't think any of the 99's came with 17's. I know I definately do not have 17's.

"TTB LT265/70R17E BSW All Season Tires"

Here is another thing I noticed, I didn't think any of the 99's came with 17's. I know I definately do not have 17's.

Plus it says it came with 16"x 7" wheels. Not sure how they put 17" tires on there.

 

[85IrocZ-28]

I love seeing everyone's build sheets. It looks like we all had power rack and pinion steering from the factory

The grill looks like it is ready for paint.

 

[johnsjeep]

Tooks some more pics this morning and seperated my stock grille with a utility knife, sprayed on the plastice adhesion promoter and will paint probably tonight. Tomorrow going snowboarding so will have plenty of time to dry.

 

[Jason12692]

How was it separating the factory grille? Give you any trouble?

 

[johnsjeep]

No, it was very easy, took maybe 5-10min. I still need to clean it up a little. I ran out of time and had to go to work but when I get home I will post some pics, finish painting, then mount the new one after cleaning up the bumper and original grill a little with the die grinder or dremel.

 

[johnsjeep]

Over the weekend I finished painting and got my new grille mounted on.

Getting the trim rings back on
