    I have other stuff sitting around the house but this is my pride and joy.

    It's a 99 Jeep Wrangler with 5" of lift and 33" Goodyear Wrangler MTR's, Warn 9.5 ti Winch, Full Roll Cage, Lockers, Custom bumpers etc...

    I also have a

    05 Pt Cruiser - Daily Driver

    98 Ford Expediton Eddie Bauer - Tow Vehicle for my Jeep

    02 Chevy Venture Warner Bros. Ed.-Wife's

  2. Slow. I put a couple grand into my 1999 in the last month or so. I needed to upgrade to a Slip Yoke Eliminator to get rid of my driveline vibes which meant new control arms and a CV driveshaft. I also got new rims and tires for it but I have actually done a little to Dixie though. I put some new shackles on so I have enough clearance for my 32's to go on. Daisy had 31's. Mine will be a little bigger but I upgraded tires on my Wrangler to a larger size and I have the 32's laying around and they only have a few thousand miles on them so I figured I would put them on Dixie. I am about ready to paint the rims for Dixie the appropriate copper/brown color. THen I will mount the tires on it. Body work will come in the spring along with the paint and decals.

  3. As far as paint it's Just white. ANy body shop can do that. You would need to get a Golden Eagle Decal which is easily attainable.

    You can get that here

    Cheapest Place I found.

    As for the Dixie Decal on the side I found a local sticker guy who will do it for me from a picture or I was even thinking of leaving the golden eagle on the side like it was on Dixie when Daisy got it after the Duke boys trashed her Roadrunnner.

    You can also change the front end of your YJ to a CJ for the cost of fenders, hood, grill and Round Headlights. It's a Direct bolt up to you YJ tub, they are virtually the same. Actually you can convert even the dash if you want as well, it is also easy to bolt up.

    I know Jeeps so if you have any questions let me know.

  4. hey it does look great even though it don't have the decals yet!! i want to get one but i think i wanna charger first if i can even get either...LOL!! :D:D:D

    A little is happened but nothing much as of yet that would be visually different. I too would love to have a Charger but this is MUCH CHEAPER! :D I can't wait to start the body work in spring and paint it. I have the proper rims now and I am almost done sanding and preping them and then I will send them off to get Powdercoated soon. Unfortunately I have decided to spend a couple grand on my 99 Jeep Wrangler to make it a little bigger and a little better off road and I am working on that right now and not Dixie.

  5. 2005 PT Cruiser Touring Edition two tone Black top/silver bottom, 2002 Chevy Venture Warner Bros. Edition (wifes), My babies - 1999 Jeep Wrangler Red 4" of lift on 34" Super Swamper LTB's lockers, winch, Snorkle, full roll cage, etc. it's a regular off road machine and my 1984 White CJ-7 that will be Dixie one of these day real soon a 2000 Yamaha V-star.

  6. My four year old loves the Dukes. He watches everyday @ 6 on CMT and is playing with his dukes cars right as we speak. He also loves to play my playstation games. Though he doesn't actually play he loves to free roam and drive the General Lee. Thankfully my Walmarts have started to finally carry the cars and models.

  7. I saw the film August 5th when it opened and on the 12th at the drive in. It was different from the show but I still enjoyed it. I think Sean William Scott was a terrific Choice for Bo. I also that Johnny Knoxville was also a good choice for Luke. They weren't a carbon copy of the TV counterparts but still were enjoyable. Jessica Simpson She is very attractive but I hated her fake southern accent and her character in my opinion was used just for her body which is very nice. Willie as Uncle Jessie - I am not sure what to say about him he played a good dirty old man character he was no Family Patriarch. My problem with Boss and Roscoe is that they were to serious they weren't the bumbling fools we all love. Cooter was a fine choice.

    I really disapproved of the ending when they all came out of the "Smoke House" I can see the dirty jokes and stuff but the hints of Drug Use was inappropriate. I brought my 4 year old with who loves the Dukes and thankfully when he saw it both times with me that went right over his head.

    Overall I thought it was a good movie and I will purchase the DVD when released. I give it a 3 1/2 out of 4.

  8. I have searched here I have spent a ton of time on the internet searching I need a good picture of the Dixie Decal on the side of Daisy's Jeep. I can't find a good screen capture or picture of it. I know it is a golden Eagle edition and I know where to get that decal but I need a good Picture so I can have a local company recreate me a vinyl graphic. If anyone has a picture of it please email it to vstar650vt@yahoo.com

    Thanks a Bunch!

  9. I have The lunchbox, the emgo general lee, the 1981 1/18 GL, the old 3 car sets, the roadrunner, the movie 3 car set, the Movie 1/18 GL, Dukes of hazzard Barnstormer, a 1/24 Jeep Rubicon just like what Daisy had in the movie but it's not a real Dukes Toy it is part of my Jeep Collection and I have several of them, 01 Shirt and last but not least my newest addition my CJ-7 that has begun the DIXIE transformation.

    I also have this funny knock off General Lee from when I was a kid that is a orange Charger with the flag and the numbers are actually 10 instead of 01. As a kid 4 year old I didn't notice when my parent bought me the knock off. Now it's just funny to look at and I can't believe how people would make such a lousy knock off just to capatalize on the show. That is also kind of like the Hot Wheels Dixie Challeger. I guess It worked because I have 5 of them.
