Picked up the axles out of a 98 today and also the speaker bar.
As of right now the plan for the axles is to gear them for 35s, install lockers, clean and paint them, etc... Probably won't be for awhile though

More progress on the floors this weekend.
The drivers side ended up being worse than I thought. The top didn't look to bad but the bottom was covered in rust.
Also primed, seam sealed, and undercoated the passenger side
Just in case anyone is curious, here's how I've been forming the parts with bends and whatnot
I'm using the 2x6 tubing for my rockers. I mark the beginning and end of each bend and where I think I should hit it. Then line it up on the 2x6. I move them further apart or closer together for more precision.

Cheer up buddy, Ocala's on the list... on the happy side, but I think that's a rouse. We're among the lowest paid counties in the US. Not saying money buys happiness, but it gives you a bit more free time if you're not workin' all the time to get it.Never seen that kind of soundbar before...
I'm not really sure what they normally look like.. time for some googlin

Nice! I'm still holding out for a set of ZJ or WJ seats for mine. Ever since I replaced the driver's side seat in mine for an XJ seat in better condition though, it's like riding in a brand new jeep... I'm in love all over again.

Ya I can't wait to get them in. Gotta get all my rust done first, then I'll move to the fun stuff.

Got another patch done. I was planning on finishing the rest behind it, but my back had other ideas.
This was a pretty tough one. There's a raised spot over the leaf spring mount so the eye has room to move and also getting it under the seat support wasn't fun.

I finally gave into the urge to upgrade my headlights again (hopefully the last time).
Went with the 55w Morimoto Elite system. This should be a huge improvement over the cheap 35w amazon kit I have now.
I'm gonna do a before and after video along with some comparison pictures. Hopefully I'll have everything done by next weekend
