What do you want to use the lights for? Front spot, front floods, side lights, rock lights?

Yeah, its just in the trunk. The extra clearance is nice but the other day was in Salado Creek on some rocks and the tank started to slip thru which cracked the breather tube and filling tube so the fumes are pretty strong inside.

CleenRob, i took a look at your build and noticed you were looking at those 4.56 axels that were for sale. I know the guy who beat you to them, got them for $900. His jeep is the attached.
******

I guess the 4.10 axles will have to do

Is there anything else close by where you dont have to worry about legal repercussions. Attached are a few pictures of the jeep.
Photo 5 sunk in the water has got to be my favorite.

Thanks man, here are a couple more from that day. Engine shutdown when i let off the gas and it wouldn't fire back up due to the exhaust being a few feet under water and the back pressure. So had to pull it out (with another cherokee) and then it rolled on the way out. Thankfully we got it stood up and she fired right back up, only a few electrical problems.

Ive been running without doors lately and have bedlined the floor, its awesome but the problem now is the seats. There just the stock cloth seats. Any ideas on a cheap alternative to "waterproof" them.
I looked around the site and a bunch of people talk about neoprene seat covers but there out of my price range.
I'm not sure how well it would work to bed line the seats, haha. (this isnt a daily driver so "looks" aren't key)
