Next Mod!

[pkang21]

A few things i wanna do right now is
`Tow Package [if possible by the end of this month, if not wait till next spring]
`Nav/Rec[ASAP]
`Srt8 front body kit [prolly next year] (my obsession is back after seeing 4 this week)
`Leather Seats, Cover King- got this sorted out probably within a month (black sides and red middle)|||


then upgrade my Stereo System..


does anybody know if you need another kind of rear bumper if my laredo did not come with a tow package so it doesnt have a little opening on the bottom?. on the justforjeeps site it doesnt describe it properly
and i wanna get a tow package soon because i have a jet ski ready to goo but i m moving it around with my gf's escalade ext because i dont have a tow thing............. and escalades gass is friggin killerrrrr

any suggestions on more mods?

i was thinking of the chrome/thin black side moldings but i dunno if its worth it.




[EDIT]
has anyone tried LED DRL on their jeeps? like instal them in your headlights? i see so many stores sell them but i m wondering where and how it can be installed.

[Travisl23]

You don't need a new rear bumper, you just need to cut the one you have. The pattern is already there... You just need the bezel...

[Scottina06]

just call Peter at justforjeeps adn tell him you need the tow bezel

[pkang21]

oh really!?
so the cutting wont do anything to my jeep ? like rust or watever?

[NHWK05]

Its a plastic bumper. So it wont rust. You cut the out line for the hitch and install the hitch bezel from just for jeeps ($70) and then put in the hitch and wiring.

[Scottina06]

dont do just the srt front on a white Jeep. It looks ok on all black...but not white. I think you will need the SRT skirts as well

[spiker01]

ahh... its just seems so much money for appearance.. i just wish they come out with like a aftermarket body kit other than the srt8 one..
i dunno why but theyres so many srt8s in my area all of sudden its crazyyy
i saw a blacked outt,limo tint except the windshield, tinted tails, powder coated srt8 at a gas station.. but the guy that came out of it looked like some hardcore asian gangster.. so i didnt have the balls to even say nice jeep :(

[Megatron]

Lol @ hardcore asian gangster. Yakuza or Triad?

[Scottina06]

LOL.....he was probably a nice man

[NHWK05]

You should be able to, look behind the stock rear bumper in that area, there should be some sort of cut line, I know full instructions come with the bezel kit. I think you can down load the instructions to do it right off just for jeeps.

The first one is a pretty good deal shipped for a brand new one.

The second one is an 08-09 SRT bumper that they cut the "humps" off to work with the 05-07 headlights. Keep in mind though you would have to purchase the 08-09 bumper support($45) and the 08-09 specific grill($306 plus shipping for the SRT grill) and the lower SRT grill($175) and the SRT bumper install kit from justforjeeps.(approx $300)

[pkang21]

is it very complicated to instal a REC/navigation/w.e.w.e to my jeep?

ok
so i ll have to wait on the 550$ because it just got sold when i was going on it.. like 35sec left till the bid was over lol
so if i buy the first one i would have to still buy all the little stuff for the conversion right? probably.

[Scottina06]

the install of the REC navigation is so simple. You just remove the radio bezel by pulling with force toward your body. It is held in by pressure clamps. Then unscrew the stock radio...there are four screws. Unplug the stock radio. remove the silver metal bracket from the hole. Screw the Nav antenna into the spot already predrilled under the dash. Plug in the Nav antenna, stock plugs and stock antenna plug and push Nav unit in. Then screw Nav unit using the same four screws you removed from the stock radio. Then just push/snap the Nav bezel over the Nav unit. Done....5 minute job...reallY!:thumbsup:

[Dylans3960ccs]

what kind of leatherette?

I rode in 2 BMWs that had PVC or something and that stuff will withought a doubt last forever, and it was pretty nice, but it did kinda have a weird smell to it.

[pkang21]

never got around to ordering them,, i wanted like covers that fit exaclty but only oem and cat skin does that and they cost too muchh
the fogs are just bulb replacement 8000k from ebay.
