Rockymountain is now lifted!!

[rockymountain]

I've been waiting a long time to be able to post this. I'm savoring every minute of it. I did my lift today!!

I didn't take a before shot, but I have some other pics on the site already. Anyway, I made an album and put pictures I took during the day today. I am sore and sooooooo ready for bed. I'm gonna feel it in the morning. I don't do this every day. Only once or twice in a lifetime. Thanks to this site and all the members that I've been soaking info from. I have read so much on this site that I did it all from memory. I didn't have any big problems. Just a couple little mishaps. So glad its over.

Not Ohio. Fort wayne Indiana. I used to never see these types, but now it seems like I'm seeing more of them. Not sure how many were made, but you don't see too many. There are two that I know of here, mine and another that I pass almost everyday. Anyway. Thanks!!

Haha yeah its a unique color combo that's why i figured i ask.
But that is just one more lifted KJ to motivate me to get mine lifted!! I need to get some more money...

+1 nice looking KJ and congrats on the extra altitude. I like the different color bumper. I think it actually looks really nice!

Looks awesome!

Tip - hit the insides of the fenderwells with simple green, rinse, then when dry shoot the fenderwells with tire shine.

Only thing ThunderbirdJunkie will use tire shine for.

Use a lot of paper towels too....they spread the tire shine better than a cloth...

Thanks everyone! Tbj, yea I know. The whole thing is dirty really. I used to just spray bleech white in there along with the tires. I just used a tire brush to scrub it a bit. I need to detail it out now.

As for the colors, I saw it online and traveled to Toledo to get it. It really caught my eye.

 

[HoosierJeeper]

Forgot to say, looks great.

 

[rockymountain]

It really needs an alignment. Kind of squirrelly. Good thing I set one up for tomorrow. besides that, it rides like a brand new truck IMO. The way it takes bumps now reminds me of the full size truck I used to have a while back.

[Jeepin05]

Yea, my throat is a little scratchy. I'm gonna wait a little while. I'm gonna ride these out. Mid summer maybe. We'll see.

Thanks on all the compliments!
