About my Ride
i am 18 years old and i only make $8.50 an hour, so this truck was built on a very low budget (the most expesive part i bought was the 5-speed at $50!). i dont make very much money so everything on my truck i got from a friend, swap meet, junkyard, or my favorite, the five finger discount. i love it when someone tries to tell me what i should have done differently, and my response is that i built my truck for me, not so i can please everyone else. i have owned this truck for almost a year now and when i got it was bone stock, and it was about a week later that i started tinkering with it (taking uneccessary parts out, crawling underneath to see how it was built, etc.). it wasnt until i had it for about a couple of months that i really fell in love with it. thats when i started thinking about what i could do to modify it. some ideas i came up with, some i saw on other peoples truck, and then some i just came across the part and loved it so much i put it on. so i built this truck for all you people that say Jeeps should be lifted not lowered. i built this truck on a really low budget, and i built it for me, not to mention i built something totally different. my mods will never stop, and someday i hope to drag the frame and end up in MiniTruckin, thats my dream.
P.S. stuff that i couldnt fit on the lines above: battery relocated to toolbox in the bed, stock bench seat in the bed, L.E.D. backup light on the back of the cab, semi-truck antannas mounted just inside the bed, removed headliner, Sunpro 3" tach, painted dash pieces,strobe lights in the headlighs, crappy pioneer seaker in the bed w/ toggle switch, 2-point race belts in back seat, upside-down grill, and my personal favorite, the WWII mortar shell zip-tied to the drivers-side rocker panel.
Newest addition/modification: big ol nasty push bar bolted to a custom front crossmember with 5" diving lights wired to the high beams
Next addition/modification: side pipes through the body
