    You did a nice job, especially considering you are only 18. You should be quite the Jeep builder by the time you are my age. Red and green is fitting, considering the Christmas season

    It looks great my friend, good for you. Now keep your daughter in on the build and it can be her first vehicle when she gets to be that age. Job well done!!

    You've done amazingly well! And now you have a ton of time invested in it so you'll care for it better, at least that's my logic. This is a job I've been putting off for a while. I applaud you for taking this on, and for thinking of your daughter.

    Thanks everyone. Just took it for a spin to test everything and it feels so nice to drive again so smooth! sadly i got 2 more problems to fix the Driver side fog light doesn't light up and my two rear brake lights don't work but my top break light works i really hope its just the bulbs are dead and no more wiring problems but ill find out tomorrow. i might just replace my fog light with 6" chrome i have sitting around in the garage don't really like chrome on red but if i have to i will.
