I hit up the junk yard yesterday and got a couple things. I got new struts for the back hatch. Its crazy I forgot what it was like to have a hatch that stays up! I also got a switch for my rear windshield wiper to replace my old one.

I also stole an idea from no_rdplz I grabbed one of these nets from an early 90s extended cab Ford Ranger. They fit nicely on the door to make map pockets. I included a photo of the Ranger so if you like the idea you know which one to look for. Remember they're only in extended cabs on in the back.

I kinda like that net idea! lol and looks good man, I like the bedliner idea the more I look at it..my mama doesn't want me to trim the fenders though (because it's ugly), so I don't think i'll be doing that anytime soon.. =/

Thanks guys! I totally stole those from no_rdplz. He's got them and I loved them so I did it too. They fit just a little weird around the speaker but other than that they're awesome.

Got to do a little light wheeling with http://hrjc.org it was my first meet up with them and I got there late because of work so I only got to meet a few people but got to see a crazy tricked out wrangler rock crawling. Any way here's a photo of me and a pretty cool Liberty that was there.

4.5" replacement leafs were ordered today so I don't have to use aals And shackles. Although I have thought about keeping the shackles so I can get spacers up front later. Lift starts Friday night!

My CB antenna and coax got here today, but of course I was working. Is it weird that I was so excited that at midnight I decided to install it?

Not at all weird, I did a hub swap on my old K5 in a snow storm so I could go play. Rig looks great, just getting started on my first XJ.

It was more out of anger, when they snapped I was pulling out of my drive way heading up hill and the locker in th back spun me around and into a ditch across the street from my house. And it was a jeep cj that the tow company sent out to pull me out of the ditch.
