Mastercraft Rubicon seats (heaters and lumbar) and we custom did the rear seat to match the front.

Put a really nice grade of red carpet on the floor, and custom bumpers front and rear. We took all the paint off of her down to bare metal, and had the engine rebuilt by Jasper.

She's great, now I need some help with why my speedo and gas gauge went on holiday (gas is reading at 3:00), and dont work anymore, nor does my radio receive normal FM stations (it is new), does this sound like a grounding problem, and if so where should I look?

Those bumpers look great! What did you make the rear bumper out of? You have any pics of when you were making it so i can get some ideas. I am in the process of building one too.

The Rear Bumper came from ROCKHARD

http://rockhard4x4parts.com/cart/pro...?prod=RH1013-A

the Front Bumper from Tomken

http://www.tomken.com/detail.php?id=348

(It has a 2" receiver hitch" behind the license plate on the front bumper)

The bike rack is a 4 bike Rack from Thule

I am very happy with how the jeep has turned out. I also put a pioneer premier stereo in her, with built in speakerphone, and ipod integrated, and a big amp under the rear seat, New JBL speakers all around...

Default Secret on the Bumpers..

I got the Shackles from the hardware store, the bumper guys wanted 300% over what the hardware store wanted for the same galvanized stuff.. The are great, and very heavy duty (I buy that kind of stuff for my sailboat), so I knew where to look.

The Tomken bumper is cool (on the front) as it is designed for a TowBar to connect on the front.

Yes it sounds like a ground problem, Try running some extra grounds to different places on/in the dash...

How about some pics of that new interior/??
