Complete 5 minute hack job in photoshop, but should I go with black wheels?

Hmmmmm http://www.dipyourcar.com Might do this to the Bimmers wheels and then who knows...maybe the entire CJ gets it in purple

Yeah, WTH!? You come into the car thread with broke pic links? Its just been me in here for weeks amusing myself (just cant bring myself to get into with imiss and pirate ) and I finally got excited about something new to read/view. Damnit! Damnit all to hell!

Yeah, he's ready alright! Pics no showy...

And yes, he's rockin a "Beatles" t-shirt

You asked And my dude:Custom seat covers will be in this week (I hope) and I installed HID headlights over the weekend.

Needs a new top motor (brand new top, though), needs all new seats (drivers side is torn pretty good and the rear was burned from cigarettes that actually caught fire), tiny ara of rust needs to be cut out from the passenger door and thats about it. Overall, its in awesome condition for a 13 year old car.

With the CJ (the red one) it lasted....well, its still happening. BUT with this one, she was more sold on buying it than I was. Again, great deal and I really wasnt planning on taking on a new client (IT consulting) that was 30 miles away while rocking a suburban. The suburban can now be reserved as the family boat and I can cruise this thing around. Definitely need to sell the red CJ stat, though. My garage/driveway is looking a bit ridiculous right about now.

I'm an idiot...bought a '99 328i convertible today...pics to follow. Needed a commuter car and this was an insane deal. I need to sell the red CJ real fast!!!

More....still trying to figure out what the hell I have here.

And shes in her final resting place (well, not really...clearing out the garage and she'll head there tomorrow)...

Damnit, someone tell what Nurps was/is referring to! 5 letter P word?

Yeah, not sure what word you're referring to here...I'm trying, but cannot decipher your code. I'm sure its something simple that's flying over my head, though.

And more for the thread that I and am single handily keeping alive.....(I'm sad) Bought (more like stole) a CJ5 five this evening. Needs a bit of work, but for sitting in a field for the last 6 years, surprisingly not as much as one would think and the price was a no brainer. Certainly don't need another vehicle, so this is going to be a restore and sell job. Will post more pics later. 1977 CJ5 with a 304, 4 speed T98 Borg Warner tranny (out of only God knows what), rust FREE factory steel body (needs front fenders and a a new grill), brand new BFG MTs and new white wagon wheels, spring over axle lift with new shocks and some other loose goodies. All this for freakin' $1,500!!!!!!

Gotcha...I have never once purchased a new vehicle. And, as you can tell, I have bought, sold and currently own a few vehicles. Used is the way to go, IMO. I cannot really give much of an opinion on either of those vehicles, as they are not my "cup of tea", but good luck in your search!

Good to know...thanks! I cant remember what I put on my Jeeps in the past, but think I am leaning towards the 40 for the Suburban. As shown above in this thread, I just slapped on an cold air intake as well.

Would definitely say heck no to that. A paint job from a blue tone to a red tone (and done right) would cost anywhere from $2,500 to $5,000. No offense, but sell the car and buy it again if you really don't want blue anymore. It would be cheaper and they're certainly are plenty to choose from.

Flowmaster - 40 series or 50? Loud or not so loud? Any thoughts?

What are you leaning towards?

Intake in the Suburban - Body lift on the CJ7 is next. Sitting in the garage and ready to be installed. Have my eye on a CJ5 as well. I just cant stop!!!!!

Yeah, I was (still want to) wanting to build a 4 door Wrangler, but then we're talking a price tag (with purchase and build) of about $20k-$24k. With adding the Suburban into the mix, keeping the CJ, but making some additional modifications, is best. The problem now is that I just found a 1977 CJ5 on craigslist with a 304, brand new 35s, 4 speed, NO RUST and some other goodies all for under $2k. That's just insane, but with just having a second kid, parts for the Suburban having just been freshly installed and CJ7 parts hitting the front door daily, the wife would have my &*%$ in a vice if I bought another vehicle. BUT its such an insane deal and is a local buy! Aaaaahhhhhhhh!

Almost done... Unit in place of old cassette player (factory radio/CD still in place in dash): All 3 screens powered and working: Last step is to make this opening a 1 DIN opening and then I am done!!!!

Much appreciated!

All good...yeah, it was my baby (before the actual babies). Tons of blood, sweat and tears into this thing!

No past tense, my friend. Still own it. Its a 1977 Jeep CJ7, but there is not a part on it older than 2007 (minus the original frame and front grill).
