Nice!

Two questions:

1.What did you use to paint the grille area?

2. What year jimmy did u get the seats from and what mods did u have to do if any?

I used Krylon Fusion beleive it or not, just sanded it down and sprayed, been on a couple months now with no chipping.

the seats came out of a 96 Jimmy. I didnt have to mod anything except the power seat connects, they are only held in with 3 bolts since I had bench seats before. And I had to attach my seat belt buckles from the bench seats to them. 3 seat bolts is all I really needed but someday I will drill thru the floor and bolt it up the right way.

Haha, tint is the next step. 5 in the back and 35 in the front. The truck is also fully deadend, 5 layers on the roof and 6 layers ont he hatch, 2 layers on each door.

Looks great! I especially like the rear wiper dismount! Are those custom made plugs for the holes?

Looks great! I especially like the rear wiper dismount! Are those custom made plugs for the holes?no autozone has a package of plastic plugs for various things and they snapped right in the holes. I used a little silicone sealer to prevent water from gettin in


here's some updated pics, its not lowered anymore. i didnt have drop shocks and hated smackin the frame with the rear axle all the time, and bending the lips of the fenders out from the front tires. it has a little rake on it right now but thats how I want it to stay.

I'm surprised I didn't see this build before! Looks really good though, it's coming a lot nicely. A very clean build.
Love that last pic BTW. The colors are amazing! It's not really HDRish, but still turned out really really good man.

thanks guys. I'm not sure how long the sub setup will last. I want to go with something different sooner or later
