And so it begins... my LX Build

[LaRue762]

Hi, just picked her up two days ago from Grapevine, TX. Bought her sight unseen. Super excited! First I want to change the gold badges and remove the running boards.

Awesome, welcome. Ditch the boards, keep the gold

Welcome.

P-

Plan includes front and rear bumpers, tires, lift, lights. Need to run a search on tires and lift. I don't plan to rock crawl. Thinking of 33s or 34 not sure though. Also don't want my teeth to fall out as it's a daily driver.

What about a mount for your 7.62?

What 04UZJ100? You cracked the code??? Ha!
Actually, I am looking at magnet mounts for my G43.

Ok. So I got the running boards off. She already looks better!!! Will post a better picture tomorrow. Anyone know what a pair of running boards are worth?

Congratulations on your LX. I'm up in Hickory Creek and love mine. Picked it up in September.

Wanted to update my build thread. Recently removed the gold badging and hit it with the rattle can in flat iron. Also did the wheels and the chrome.

 

[LaRue762]

Removed the gold emblems and painted flat dark iron. Did same with wheels, grille, and chrome. Happy with it.

Nice ride! Wish I could dump my running boards, but alas- the 5'3 wife insists (who drives it often) she needs them to get her short ass in the cabin

I hear you. I got that too but figure sliders will be installed before too long!
