[Robert Palmer]

That sure is one head turner!

[Dylans3960ccs]

your car looks amazying as always. (jelious)

[dreamer1213]

Thanks Joey...I appreciate it....I'm sure it'll turn extra heads now that I took the muzzle off too...LOL!! :D

Thanks Dylan... :)

[Scottina06]

nice picces Hannes! Sick as usual!!! LOL

[dreamer1213]

LOL...thanks Scottie... :) The lighting was great....early morning, or late afternoon is best for pix....

[ducks unlimited]

sexy jeep! i like what you did with the headlights

[QBNKID]

Man... that WJ is sick....!
Very well done Hannes!
BTW, I think my WJ and yours have ran very similar numbers at the track corrected and all. :)

[Puppetmaster_sr]

Nice ride man!!!

[Chaoul1]

Hannes it looks sweet man. You did a great job. Paints flawless too! Still lovin the Jeep.

[dreamer1213]

Thanks Alex! I love them too....I'm gonna have to open up the left side again one of these days...perhaps today...

Thank You Mario!! I'm gonna have to see if I can lower those numbers a little somehow...LOL!!

Thanks Ed!! Likewise!

Thanks Paulie...one of these days I'd like to do a paint correction like Scott/Harrison...one day...LOL!

[tman4024]

Looks great Hannes! :thumbsup:

[Chaoul1]

Same too but you can't tell!

[dreamer1213]

Thanks Jeremy!! :D

The only time you can tell Paul, is if its under fluorescent/halogen light, you can tell there are some fine scratches and light swirls in the clear coat...a light paint correction will get rid of that...which is what I want...lol! But I have to get the pads and products first....so it might be a while...hehe..

[Matt]

One of my favorite WJ's. Love the truck Hannes!!!!!

[Scottina06]

a pc would take care of those scratches and swirls real quick Hannes........LOL

[TeamCherokee06]

Badass!My favorite WJ!

[dreamer1213]

Thanks Matt....that means a lot!

Yeah Scottie...I know...lol...I just need all the ingredients together.... :)

Thanks a lot John!! Appreciate it!

[Megatron]

Hannes, haha i like the pics. The wheels in the first one look so shiney i thought it was photoshopped. haha

[dreamer1213]

They do looks super shiny in that pic...LOL...almost chrome shiny....thanks Paul!

[Hemi05WK]

Hannes... looks beautiful! love your exhaust too! Beautiful pictures!

[Knightrider03m]

Very nice!

[heehawbus]

this is the reason i love the WJs.. they are so damn good looking!! especially when they're done right.. like yours

on my stock head lights i have the bottom where the signals are tinted and it looked pretty sweet, not i have the gen 3's in and it isnt and i dont like it as much, so i wanna tint them again, but yours look like the stock housing, i forgot, did you put the stock housing on the gen 3's?

[dreamer1213]

Thanks Tom!! The exhaust is one the "best" mods...LOL!!

Thanks Marcus!! Appreciate it!

Thank you Andrew...means a lot! I think it would look great if you tinted that bottom part like your stockers were tinted....my gen 3 housings has the stock lens on them, thats how I got to keep the turn signal like that..thats why I love em so much...they look stock.... :D

[heehawbus]

i think when i tint mine again ill get some eyebrows like yours.. where did you gets yours at?

[dreamer1213]

I painted them to match Andrew....lol....at the world famous Hannes's Body & Paint Shop...I'm sure you've heard of it! :rolleyes:

[heehawbus]

you just painted the vinyl sticker tho right and not actual housing?

[blown-wk]

Thats a hot WJ man. Definitely unique with the SRT wheels. You going to gainesville with us this wednesday. Should be 4-5 of us this time.

[B.P.O.D]

that looks awesome bro!!! love the projectors/rims!!!

[dreamer1213]

Andrew....nope...the eyebrows are painted on the lenses...trying to wrap vinyl to look like that would not work out so good/easily...lol...

Thanks Chris!!! Appreciate it! Yeah...I think so! Looks like there's gonna be less of a chance of rain this Wednesday.... :D

Thanks Ifry...lol...me too... ;)

[heehawbus]

Andrew....nope...the eyebrows are painted on the lenses...trying to wrap vinyl to look like that would not work out so good/easily...lol...
)

gotcha, ya i remember trying to wrap vinyl on my taillights and got pissed and gave up and had them painted.. lol

[dreamer1213]

Yup....just slap some paint on...LOL!

[jkram]

The wheels look great on that thing! I love WJs but one thing I always felt is the track is too narrow for the body. The SRT wheels widen the track nicely.
Looks real good!

[dreamer1213]

Thanks a lot! I think so too..

The track is too narrow on just about anything with stock wheels, unless they are performance wheels...but yeah....these wheels has the perfect offset to make them be flush with the fender, and give it an awesome stance. :D

[blackpepper]

Where are my manners, Hannes? Your WJ looks great I don't know what you do with that camera.. it must be that Floridian sun :cool:

What color temp are your HIDs?

[dreamer1213]

I dunno Ryan...where are they? LOL...j/k! ;) Thank You Ryan...I appreciate it!

The Florida sun huh? Hehe...

My the lows and fogs are both 6000K...but I swear the lows are more like 4300Kish on the road...I'll have to take a pix to show you the difference...

[blackpepper]

My the lows and fogs are both 6000K...but I swear the lows are more like 4300Kish on the road...I'll have to take a pix to show you the difference...

You learn quickly! ;) You should get on that right away!

[Cyanide]

Nice Overland Hannes! Love how you've got the exhaust routed and the SRT wheels.Definitely a head turner. Am sure I'll be able to spot you around town if we ever cross paths (same to you blown-wk).

Thats a hot WJ man. Definitely unique with the SRT wheels. You going to gainesville with us this wednesday. Should be 4-5 of us this time.

I need to get with all of you Jax area guys for Gainesville info. Perhaps one day I can get down there myself to see what my old, decrepit 5.9L runs! Just gotta make sure it's when I don't have my son with me. Don't think his momma would like him going to the dragstrip with dear ol' dad! :lol:

BTW, what part of town y'all at? Me...up by the airport.

[dreamer1213]

Its not dark yet Ryan...LMAO....

Thanks Carlo! Appreciate it!!! Same to you....Niner's are a rarity...lol...

I'm on the Southside...

[blackpepper]

Its not dark yet Ryan...LMAO....



What's your excuse now? LOL

[dreamer1213]

I was asleep Ryan....LOL...I did have the right bloody screw driver to see if I could aim them up a little more...so thats my real excuse...I'll get a screw driver, aim them...and then take a picture just for you! Sound good? ;)

[blackpepper]

I was asleep Ryan....LOL...I did have the right bloody screw driver to see if I could aim them up a little more...so thats my real excuse...I'll get a screw driver, aim them...and then take a picture just for you! Sound good? ;)

Hahaha :slapfight:
Going above and beyond the call of duty for a fellow Jeep owner, now that's what I call respect. I don't have HiDs yet but I've been needing to angle down my lights since the bilstein shocks.. I'm blinding people in midget cars :eek:

Looking forward to the pics, buddy!

[dreamer1213]

They're a comin Ryan! ;)

[Marlin]

Gorgeous Jeep Hannes...... love the pics in "golden light" too :)

[dreamer1213]

Thanks Ben!! I know...the light that a sunset produces is super nice... :)

[dreamer1213]

Here the are...just for you Ryan!

Lows only - 6000K

http://i104.photobucket.com/albums/m174/hannes13/Projector%20Project/CIMG4656.jpg

Fogs only - 6000K

http://i104.photobucket.com/albums/m174/hannes13/Projector%20Project/CIMG4655.jpg

Lows and fogs - 6000K

http://i104.photobucket.com/albums/m174/hannes13/Projector%20Project/CIMG4654.jpg

As you can see...the fogs looks bluer than the lows....reason is, the bulbs aren't from the same seller...so I guess they are not the same make.....the seller where I got the lows from did have only bulbs for sale when I bought them....so I had to get them elsewhere..so the moral of this story is...get everything from the same guy/store...lol....hope this helps... :)

And here my Jeep Bro's....is the video of the good ol' Flowmaster Super 40 back on my Jeep...I love it....its the best its ever sounded...and this is the way its gonna sound from now on and forever....I'm done experimenting with exhaust!!

Flowmaster :ftmfw:

http://i104.photobucket.com/albums/m174/hannes13/Jeep%20Vids/th_Flowmaster.jpg (http://s104.photobucket.com/albums/m174/hannes13/Jeep%20Vids/?action=view&current=Flowmaster.flv)

[heehawbus]

niiiiiice.. :thumbsup: your 6000 looks more like 5000, and my 5000 looks more like 4200 in those projectors.. looks like you got them pointing the right way?

[Scottina06]

thye look 6000ik to me

[dreamer1213]

Thanks Andy...ya.....but I kinda like em like this....lol..and yes..they are aimed correctly...you can see how it looks like just one big step...but if you look closely...you can see the other step blended into the light at the top...

Yeah Scottie...the headlights do...and so do the fogs...on the road tho..the fogs edges on 8000K...but oh well...I'm aint takin them out again....lol!

[dreamer1213]

So Ryan...I take these pix for you and you don't even look at them!!? :confused:

[mon_21]

I just watched the clip...... oh my goodness! Hope my 6 sounds like or try too when I switch muffler.
That is just sexy Hannes..... I love it!

[dreamer1213]

Hehe...thanks Mon!!! I Loves it too! You want the Super 40 now??

[mon_21]

Hehe...thanks Mon!!! I Loves it too! You want the Super 40 now??

Oh hell yeah! might not sound the same as the v8's but, I'll make sure I set of the car alarms early in the morning on my way to work....lol.

[blown-wk]

Nice vid. The WJ's sound good with some healthy exhaust on them. Here is mine on the dyno.

http://videos.streetfire.net/video/Kenne-Bell-Supercharged_107098.htm

[blackpepper]

YOu get a pat on the back for those pics.. I see what you're talking about, you better match up those lights soon!

So you think it's because of the different manufacturers or possibly one set of bulbs is older than the other?

[dreamer1213]

Thanks Chris! Healthy exhaust = happy driver! :) Did you end up selling your WJ?

Aww..thanks Ryan....it could be age...I use the lows more than fogs...don't really need the fogs with the projectors....but I think...that the make has something to do with it too...

[blown-wk]

Yeah I got a very nice offer on it so I cut it loose. The timing worked out well since my current SRT popped up at the same time.

[Dylans3960ccs]

did you read the dumbass coments on your dyno video at streetfire. Lmao

[00wj]

Hannes your jeep is just beautiful! my favorite WJ !!! :thumbsup:
I just think you need one more thing... Have you thought of getting the clear fogs like mine and painting the inside black?

Also how did you connect the wires so that the leds are on with you parking lights?
I couldnt figure it out :confused:

[dreamer1213]

Ya know what Chris...I wish I knew you were selling it...I would have bought it!!! :D

Hector! Thank you! I really appreciate that...

I have thought about the clear fogs before...I actually bought them once upon a time...and didn't like the quality...unless they've changed it since them....I think I'm ok with stock fogs...lol..if you paint in the inside of the fogs housing black...no light will shine out...LOL!!

To connect the LED's...you run to the park light wires...which in the middle bulb....white to black with a red stripe, and black to black. That should do it!

[00wj]

haha well what i ment was they grey part in them to be painted black not the chrome... i'm thinking about doing it... and as for quality you could just take off the cover and put it on ther originals... kinda what u did with your headlights...

Thanks for your help!!! Lets see if i can do it lol

[mon_21]

"you can do it" - rob schneider

[00wj]

hahaha ^^^ but i couldn't
I have the halos to the parking lights and i didnt know what to do... and i also wanted to have them as my signal like i do...

[dreamer1213]

I'll have to think about it...LOL!!

To have the halos/leds to work as a turn signal....connect them to the side marker wires....white and red to green, and black to black...

[00wj]

lol cool

i might try to do that to my fog lights tomorrow... if i have some paint laying around... so you can get a better idea on what it would look like and mybe it will look good on mine too lol

Hannes is it possible to just connect the leds as my parking and signal lights?

[dreamer1213]

Yup....you sure can...just connect their wires to the side marker's wires....white to green, and black to black...

Ok....you experiment with the fogs and I'll tell ya what I think...hehe..

[00wj]

I tried but only my blinkers worked not the parking... i'll just leave it as is cause im tired of messing with it.

Here are those pics of the fog lights. i think they look good...

[Dylans3960ccs]

what's up with the steering shock thing I never under stood them but I see you have a fancey one lol

[White WK Swagga]

Love the color!!! Nice clean looking jeep! :thumbsup:

[00wj]

Dylans3960ccs - when i got my wheels the sterring wheel would shake around 40-50mph so i got the sterring stabalizer to help and it did :)

LATENATE - thank you ( unless you were talking about hannes jeep lol )

[NHWK05]

what's up with the steering shock thing I never under stood them but I see you have a fancey one lol


its just a steering stabilizer. It helps reduce bumps in the steering. he just replaced it with an aftermarket one (prolly rancho or skyjacker) and it has a fancy red boot on it, (that actually makes it rot out faster by trapping in water.

[dreamer1213]

That looks great Hector....good job! I'll have to look into it! :)

Did you have you have an alignment done when you got the wheels?

[NHWK05]

Dreamer- Your jeep is a thing of beauty.

[dreamer1213]

Thanks Kyle...I really appreciate it! You can call me Hannes if you want to...lol! ;)

[NHWK05]

Thanks Kyle...I really appreciate it! You can call me Hannes if you want to...lol! ;)


Oh realy, well then, i will.

[scjeep4.7HO]

Hannes your jeep is absolutely breath taking. I can only wish my jeep was that clean.

[00wj]

That looks great Hector....good job! I'll have to look into it! :)

Did you have you have an alignment done when you got the wheels?

Ive had the alignment done 3 times lol but it wasnt shaking till now when i was told i needed a balance because of my ABS light and i got the balance and now my steering wheel shakes once in a while around 45mph

[Dylans3960ccs]

Well the important thing is that now it's fixed. I was think about adding one of these ever since I looked under neath my jeep but never knew what it did . . . . wait . . . what exactally does it do? lol

[scjeep4.7HO]

Just like it's name states. "STEERING STABALIZER". It helps your steering absorb shock/vibrations so you don't feel it in the steering wheel.

Also helps with bump steer ETC..

[Dylans3960ccs]

^^ thanks ^ + rep any one?

[dreamer1213]

Aww...thanks Richie....that means a lot! :)

I see Hector....you balance the tires/wheels?

You're Jeep has one Dylan....it just black and doesn't have a boot...so it blends in...lol..

[NHWK05]

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

[00wj]

Hannes - when i got them balanced thats when the shaking started again...

[dreamer1213]

Thats kinda weird...but if the stabilizer fixed it....its all good!

[scjeep4.7HO]

Maybe they didn't balance them right. It's also possible one of the wieghts could have fell off.

[dreamer1213]

Or....worst case scenario...one of the wheels might be out of round....or perhaps its because of the 0mm offset....I dunno...

[00wj]

i dont know what it is but it doesnt do it all the time.. btw mine have a 10mm offset...

[dreamer1213]

Ohhh...ok...sorry...I forget that there's a 10mm 5x5 version....all the ones I ever see is 0mm...lol!

[Chuck]

Hannes I shouldn't even say a thing. It looks amazing as usual. Nice photos.

[00wj]

haha well mine are but i have no idea who makes them lol i just remember looking at the 10mm offset and was unsure to get them but when they put them on i had to get them lol

[Dylans3960ccs]

here's the Idea of what I want the side molding to look like on my car
http://www.netcarshow.com/jeep/2003-grand_cherokee_uk_version/800x600/wallpaper_06.htm

[NHWK05]

That looks sick, i wonder what wheels those are.

http://www.netcarshow.com/jeep/2003-grand_cherokee_uk_version/800x600/wallpaper_06.htm

Aren't all 2004 overland side moldinds like that?


NHWK05 - those are nice... i agree

[NHWK05]

AFAIK, they have 2 ribs on the sides.

[00wj]

I looked on car domain right now and all 2004 that are overland only have 1... except for 1 but i dont think he put the right year cause his front bumper looked like from an 03 or 02

dylan - so im pretty sure they must sell it somewhere

[Dylans3960ccs]

this picture is of one Brabus/Startech moded and those rims are very expensive (http://www.startech.de/Preisliste_Pricelist_JEEP_Grand_Cherokee_Lo_2008-08.pdf I think you should be able to find them here) and you can order the parts Startech makes at your dealer.

[Dylans3960ccs]

Oh yeah the trim comes off of a UK model ,that's why there's a chrome strip at the top of the trim.

[dreamer1213]

Thanks Charlie....appreciate it....as always... :)

That pic you posted was from a 2004 Overland Export model...2004 Overland's looked like that...even the domestic models...only 1 rib, and a chrome strip...IMHO...I don't really like that chrome strip there...and the 1 rib is kinda outta place.....

Those wheels are from StarTech like Dylan said...and they are lotsa money....lol!

[Dylans3960ccs]

its just a steering stabilizer. It helps reduce bumps in the steering. he just replaced it with an aftermarket one (prolly rancho or skyjacker) and it has a fancy red boot on it, (that actually makes it rot out faster by trapping in water.

So what would happen if I were to take this off :confused: :D

[dreamer1213]

Don't Dylan...leave it alone unless you're planning on replacing it...

[NHWK05]

Don't Dylan...leave it alone unless you're planning on replacing it...


x2.

[Dylans3960ccs]

lol...

I got yall worried hehe

[Dylans3960ccs]

http://i104.photobucket.com/albums/m174/hannes13/CIMG4616.jpg

if this is the passenger side then why is there a key hole for the right side?

[Chaoul1]

That's how mine is.....Look at yours.

[White Chocolate]

I wasn't a fan of Wj's at that specific year, however god damnit you make yours look pretty damn sexy! Mad props to you dude:thumbsup:

[dreamer1213]

if this is the passenger side then why is there a key hole for the right side?

Dammit Dylan...you just had to go and sneak around...didn't ya? LOL!! That is actually driver's side...the picture was just flipped horizontally...there is no key hole on the passenger side...no gas flap either.... ;) Good eye...I was wondering who was gonna bust me...

Thanks Klutch...appreciate it!! I tried my best...and this is what it turned into.... :D

[pjs1965]

Very nice photos at 'magic hour'. I like the rims!

[BUBBADOG]

Man i feel bad 6 pages and im just now chiming in here i think lol...I always thought that WJ was super hot alot of hard work is in that bad boy for sure...Nice job hannes

lol you had a nice go at it for sure :lol: I can't believe it took me that long.

[dreamer1213]

Thanks a lot Peter...those rims were hunted down one by one...I bought them before the replicas hit the market...lol!

Thanks Bub!! I always appreciate it! Lotsa hard work for sure! ;)

Thank you EZY...

Well...Dylan...props to you for finding it!

[Megatron]

No problem man.

That sig pic looks bad ass.

[FlyinRyan]

Looks fantastic Hannes.

[dreamer1213]

Thanks Ryan... :) Appreciate it!

[w87will]

Im not sure if ive posted in this thread.....But you already know I love your jeep lol.

So did you ever do anything with the headlights?

[dreamer1213]

I did....and I don't know if I wanna say what I did...lol... :rolleyes:

[Martyp]

Don't think I've posted here before either, but your Jeep is the one of the best damn WJs out there, period.

[dreamer1213]

Well you non-posters need to get with the program!! Hehehe!! J/K! ;)

Thanks a lot Marty...means a lot!

[FlyinRyan]

Hannes has a secret

[Dylans3960ccs]

you ported his body?











Oh I mean throttle body :lol:

[w87will]

I did....and I don't know if I wanna say what I did...lol... :rolleyes:

I hope you didn't go back to stock, Please say no.

[dreamer1213]

Ummm...may be...lol....the only way I really liked the projectors was the way I did made them look. Problem is...opening up a headlight and getting it to seal perfect again is "rare" I guess...I did everything right...even ran silicone around the edges...and they still fogged up...

I am running some black with clear turn signal stockers...don't be mad Will...it doesn't looks that bad...

[Dylans3960ccs]

I DEMAND PICS







NOW! lol

[w87will]

Haha its cool. I love the look of the stock lights....just dont like the light they put out. The Clear turn signal is a plus though. But im sorry to hear about the loss of your projectors.

[dreamer1213]

I know...it was a sad day...but what can ya do...Will...I have to say...these reflectors shine the light out amazingly....we'll have to meet up soon and then you can see... :D

I'll tell ya...don't take your headlights apart...lol!!

I will get you pix soon Dylan...hold your horses...

[w87will]

hmmm...I hated, I mean Hated my stock light output. I only had halogen bulbs in there because I didnt want to blind anyone with HIDs. But after these projectors nothing would make me go back to stock reflectors haha.

[dreamer1213]

LOL!!!! You'll just have to see it to believe it...tell ya what...I'll take some pix soon!! Give you a little taste...hehe!! ;)

[FlyinRyan]

After seeing Hannes Jeep in person, I can honestly say it is just as clean as in the pics. It's not a Jeep, it's a work of art!

[dreamer1213]

Awww...thanks Ryan....that means a lot!! :)

[w87will]

Ill x2 that.

[Matteo]

this car makes me like the WJ more then the WK :( so sick!

[FlyinRyan]

this car makes me like the WJ more then the WK :( so sick!

You won't be the only WK owner with "WJ Envy" when you see (or should I say hear) his new setup.....

[dreamer1213]

Hehe...WJ envy huh? Yeah...new exhuast set-up was done yesterday...its rediculous! It sounds soooooooooooooooooo good. Super powerful, but smooth...I'll have a little vid up soon!

And I have to thanks Ryan for the inspiration! :D

[w87will]

Man....ANOTHER exhaust set up. lol. It better still be the dual side exhaust set up....

Where's this video at? I need to see it.

[Chaoul1]

I can't wait for it Hannes!!!!!

[dreamer1213]

Ummm....sorry to let you down Will...but its not the daul side exits anymore....I had some problems with the way to pipe ran and people burning their legs on the tips....lol...so its now a single rear right side exit....

I can't wait either Paul! Perhaps Friday....lol!

[Dylans3960ccs]

awh You should-a done at least dual out the back.

[FlyinRyan]

awh You should-a done at least dual out the back.

:rolleyes: Lets see you snake TWO 2.5" mandrel pipes out the rear. same side or split sides. I'll give you a hint....unless you happen to be Jack Burns, it ain't happenin'.

I got to see Hannes true dual setup in person, and while it certainly looked great, it was not the ideal setup. the drivers side pipe due to space constraints was much longer than the pass side (not the shops fault- it would take ALOT of work to fab up a equal length system for a WJ). I had talked with Hannes about what he should do, and not to toot my own horn, but he was so in awe of my setup that he basically wanted to mimic mine (the only difference being I am running a race cat and he is running no cat). He expressed concern about the unequal length piping, and also people burning their legs on the tips. So in order to fix the leg-burning issue, and to get the sound he was looking for, he wanted to change it up to a 3" mandrel bent single rear exit, just like how mine is set up.

Yeahhhhh....I had pipes out the rear before...it was the first set-up I ran...the drivers side pipe was sooo ugly and squished to get by the sway bar and shock it was actually a waste to have it there....

Bottom line is...a WJ was never really made to run a dual set-up...any Jeep for that matter, the SRT8 and clones being the exception.

Soo...Ryan is absolutely right...it would take A LOT of work and money to get it to be perfect...and I've already spent wayyyyyyyyy too much money on exhaust...this is my final change...I think it looks great and sounds amazing....you'll see what I'm talking about when I post that video... ;)

Ummm....sorry to let you down Will...but its not the daul side exits anymore....I had some problems with the way to pipe ran and people burning their legs on the tips....lol...so its now a single rear right side exit....

I can't wait either Paul! Perhaps Friday....lol!


Funny that you say that, i have my pass side dual exit and its getting changed on Sat Oct 19th to my srt semi w/ a trailer hitch setup. I myself stupidly enough have burned my leg on it. So enough is enough and i am going out the back. i will miss it and its amazing sound but oh well it will still sound good when its done.

Well....what muffler are you running with you semi-SRT set-up?

[NHWK05]

I am keeping the muffler i have now, I dont want it to be quite as loud. Originally i was going to run no muffler and the resonators just like scott did. Its basically a magnaflow muffler, its a straight through design. I can try it in the shop and if its way to quiet or sounds like crap i will either loose the muffler and put in a pipe, or i may chop off the resos. We will see in a few weeks when i get it done.
