is the roof monstalined as well? Would love to see close up for texture .. I'm thinking of lining my rockers interior and roof due to the typical clear coat failure

No. The roof is just painted black. There is a little texture to it becasue i sanded very little over the previous bedliner and just spray painted it black. And it is covered by a roof rack and was not worth the cost.
Took it out to play today and went pretty well. The rear fenders are the perfect size for these tires. They tuck in there so nicely. It is like they were made for it. If I get more serious about offroad goodies, I will be buying new front shocks and brake lines, but I feel no need as of right now as this is going to be used as a only car for the next year along with a motorcycle.
Tucking in the center, yes I am missing a lug nut. I ordered new studs from synergy
Very close to the rear of the fender
Very close to the fender, I may trim it.
My front shocks are the max length for factory brake lines, every time I take the sway bar off I lose the pins, it could used regeared in a bad way, could use at least one locker, but it will work for now.
Little has been done and probaly little more will be done as I am moving to Florida for a year and will not have a place to do major work or the funds. But I have been going around the jeep cleaning this up and such.
I got rid of my duralast battery because it was junk. I know Optimas are not the best any more but I had to get it though AutoZone as where my other battery was from there.
Cleaned up the wiring some. I flex loomed 99% of the wires and remounted the relays and made it simpler.I would like a relay box that is waterproof but this is what it is for now. I also did the fan switch mod.
Took it offroad and just a bought everything scrapped.
Put a good dent in the factory skid
I looked into getting it regeared and a locker for the back but decided against it due to cost and not wanting to waste it on these axles. I am thinking jk 44s to get some extra width but also looking at other hp44s or even a 60 but I don't want a crazy tire size so probaly a 44. Rear maybe a ford 9 or a 44.
The keep is in it new home for the year in Jacksonville FL. It was about 750 mile drive down and the jeep did great of the interstate. It even got 16mpg.

Under hood light

After I am done with school I would like to do long arms (cav fab, rubicon express, TNT or maybe iro) and also regear. Back home I know a guy who will sell me a xj 44 and would like a e locker or a trutrack.
Do you have any pics of what you did to angle the tire carrier? I've been thinking about doing the same thing to mine.
Sure do. I flipped the mount over and tilted and bolted back on. I cut the top piece the has the top bolt in it but I don't think you have to do that. I also drilled the hole out a little to tilt it a little more.
i have been down here in flordia for month and jeep has been running great but has some issues. It has a wobble at 55 and the rear leaf spring are changing there mind about being together. Tomorrow i am going to call iron rock offroad and see what there opinion is on it. I went wheeling yesterday at four creaks state parks a little north of jacksonville. There where five of us, 3 jks and 2 xjs.
The bottom to leaf spring are moving from the pack. I think i did this yesterday when i went wheeling. I thought i heard the tire hitting the fender but i am 99% sure this is the noise.
The rear leaf springs are hating me for some reason. They are refusing to stay together. And the serpentine belt squeaks at certain times when the ac is turned on. Right when the car is turned on and you turn on the ac and when you stomp on the gas in park or neutral.
Passenger side normal
Drivers side not normal
I would like to go linked but I can not do that right now as I am in Tulsa weld School. When I am done I am with School I am dreaming of putting rock jock 44s jk length front and rear with new track bar, steering, hydro assist, truss and 3 link front and 4 link rear and stay with 34-35 inch tires. But time will tell.
