I just picked this up about a month ago. ![[http://www.pittspeed.com/uploaded/Jacks](http://www.pittspeed.com/uploaded/Jacks) HEEP.jpg]([http://www.pittspeed.com/uploaded/Jacks](http://www.pittspeed.com/uploaded/Jacks) HEEP.jpg) So far I put a new exhaust, including catalytic for $260 shipped LMAO. Also, new front calipers, pads, and rotors ($75)! I just purchased these rear frame repair pieces that I am welding on January 2nd. ($250) ![[http://www.pittspeed.com/uploaded/Frame](http://www.pittspeed.com/uploaded/Frame) Rails.bmp]([http://www.pittspeed.com/uploaded/Frame](http://www.pittspeed.com/uploaded/Frame) Rails.bmp) The wanker who had it before me must have like aluminum/chrome on Jeeps. I just had my dad order me the Smittybuilt Rock sliders poweder coated black for the sides, and I am painting the grill inserts black as well. It will make a HUGE difference on the way the HEEP looks. Other than that the major mechanical issues have been taken care of. The last stop will be to Jtech for front U-joints. January and February will be a 4" lift and 33/12.5 BFG Mud tires. Why did I sell my Maxima and 350Z for this thing again? 😛 I love it!
