Picked Up Some 2006 16X8 Jeep Rubicon Wheels For $100





My Bajabumpers.com Bumper And 3 Inch Body Lift


I Bought A New Door SO What More Reason Then To Drive With Out A Door!


Picked Up 1 BFG KM1 235/85/16 Brand New For $20 From The Junkyard.

I wanted to ditch the stock crappy bench seat. So I was at the junkyard when they put a 5th gen Honda prelude in and the seats were mint no rips /tears or stains . Just a few mods to get them to fit in but I love the bolsters they have and recline ability! Also these only cost me $67

Also I just picked a ford 8.8 rear end out of a 97 exploder with 3.73 gears lsd, and disc brakes for $75.

Then i had my friend do a photoshop of what my truck would look like once i get more 235/85/16 tires

 

I got my tuffleds 27watt 1450 lumen 7led fog lights. 2 of them are flood and 2 of them are spot I purchased them off Amazon for 88 shipped.

This photo was just the flood /spot lights no headlights.

This last weekend I got all of my parts installed on my truck got the 5lug fenders cut installed the fender flares got the ford 8.8 rear end installed and I got the fabtech lift coils and upper control arms with my jeep Rubicon 16s and 235/85/16 bfg takos

 

I paid $40 for a used Downey off road header and in the process of installing it I misplaced my catalytic converter.... Whoops!

 

Did you have to do any mods to get the Rubicon wheels to fit. Im looking to upgrade my 5lugs wheels to something bigger than a 14" wheel.
