My JK

Took some poser pics today





and a front shot showing some of the lights

Nice jeep, you've enough lights?

I feel for whoever cuts you off on the road at night.

lights come in handy!
when I'm catching rattlesnakes in the middle of the night 50 miles from nowhere - I like lots of light
There 4 WS corner lights are 100w halogens (soon to get HID conversions), the bumpers are HIDs, the grill are 55w, headlights are HIDs, stock fogs are silverstars plus a pair of 55w floods mounted on the sides for alley lights and one in the back for rearview
The asshats that cut me off get the strobes in the grill + the train horns

Trainhorns? I'm gonna hafta pick yer brain on that

i like the decal on the headlights. i'm guessing you modified an existing tire carrier but i'd like to hear the details on it.

Rig looks good V!


Do you, by chance, have a sticker machine?

Nice! I like the tire carrier mod and the soft top. I am guessing your center rear view mirror is useless with the tire on the way but still looks really good.

Mine was useless as well. So I installed a rearview mirror camera

Haha, sweet rig! Zombie Recon indeed!

Love that tire carrier. Details?

Now that's a nice rig.

that is a nice looking rig.

it started out as a RockHard bumper/carrier, I REALLY liked HD customs switchblade carrier, but I had a perfectly good RH unit and didnt have an extra $2K!

rearview mirror is useless, but it pretty much was anyway.
backup camera makes up for it tho

Rig has been stripped of all the Zombie decals now - got tired of them so it's time for something new

So what ya catching the rattlers for? Same reason I keep adding lights to my jeep as well.. Dont want to take a chance of getting bit when I am out there.. Nice looking rig though..

Been a herpetologist specializing in venomous for about 20 years now
go out snakin several times a week, I live in the heart of atrox country!

Sometimes just for catch and release data, most of the time if I bring anything home it either ends up at the Texas A&M natural toxins venom lab or at kentucky reptile zoo venom lab for venom/antivenom research.

I was in Florida for 15 years before I came to Texas, done a LOT of work with gators!
Used to work at a place down there in the 90s doing educational shows with rattlesnakes and gators 4x per day - under those circumstances, you get good or lose parts pretty quickly

I dropped out into the private herp world for a few years, been an officer in the Southeastern Hot Herp Society forever, then got on as reptile supervisor at a zoo, now moving up to curator


Oh yeah, since those pics up top, I got bored with the Zombie recon thing, tore all the vinyl off and went reptile themed this time!

Damn thats nice!!!

cool man- my bud is a herp maniac too, out of Australia. he's finishing up filming a show where he's been going all over the world. been trying to get him to come to TX for ages.

I'm not a herpetologist, but I play one on tv . Nice rig man!

We need a night shot with those beams on!

I really need to spend more time on here!

here's a few updated pics with the modded tire carrier, humvee wheels and 37"s

all poser shots cuz no one remembers to take pics when we go wheeling :p
