I like what these guys are doing. When I’m ready for metal bumpers and new fenders, they will definitely be on my radar.

Very true.. just hoping :amir: will cut me a deal on some Brotiforms and then I’ll cut my springs myself.

To pick up Latinas with giant racks at the mall.

:dat:

Waxed mentioned metal bumpers since the Willy’s comes with plastic ones, and I like the idea. Especially for the rear with the :doge: :doge: hopping in and out. Powdercoated metal bumper will take much more of a beating than a painted plastic bumper.

That looks like the HD headlights. My friend has them in his Jeep, and I have the Harley LED headlight. Hands down, it's the best mod I've got on my bike.
Having 2 would be super awesome.

Can’t you put like a clear sticker over it ?
Seems bizzare to get an entire bumper for no reason

Max. You really aren't going to start down this road in a Jeep mod thread are you? 50% of Jeep Mods LOOK COOL BRAH. THAT IS THE REASON. TO LOOK COOL.

Definitely. I'm not rushing out to buy stuff to throw at the Jeep tomorrow, but it's fun to shop around and get different ideas for how I could end up making it look. Clear-bra style sticker is 5/7 the most economical quick fix.

Right. I think I mentioned it in the OT thread when Waxer and I were talking, but my plan is to drive it pretty much stock for the first year or so and see how much actual Jeeping I do in it, and then make modifications based on my usage. I'll still look at stuff that would just be fun to do though and post stuff up in here.

With Wrangler's having such a massive aftermarket, it's fun to look at all the stuff that's available for them.

I don't like the eyelid thing, but the black headlights do look sick. If they actually increase output, I'd highly consider going that route on mine.

I don’t see a single situation a stock jeep can't handle. If the situation arises where you need mods to go through it you likely purchased the wrong vehicle for the job and may fuck it up or total it due to extreme off roading.

I get the modding for looks but I don’t see a situation where 37s are necessary on a heep that isn’t a dedicated trail rig. At which point wouldn’t it make more sense to purchase one of those Polaris things and tow it with a stock jeep ?

Upgraded headlights would be something I'd recommend getting sooner rather than later.

I'll need to do more night driving to get a better feel for the stock lights at night, but they seemed fine on my drive to Vons last night. I'm cruising up into the mountains next weekend for an Oktoberfest, so I'll use that as the real test of whether I actually need more output.

Have you seen the abomination posted in here ? For mod “inspiration”?!
It wasn't posted for inspiration doe. Just brought up the headlights because you mentioned that they need improvement. Here's a Jeep with aftermarket headlights, and it has a black grill which I think looks good.

Weren't you ...
