Well I desided that it might be a good idea to install a few fire extinguishers in my jeep. I put them between the front and rear doors on both driver and passanger side so that they could be acsessable from any door.



Just had one of those feelings lately. Better to have something I guess just in case. The mounting spot came out pretty good. They are out of the way and they dont roll around on me either.

My son bought me a 2 rifle roof rack for my jeep so I figured I'd share the outcome with you. I drilled the mounting holes through the roof and sealed the bolts so that they are water tight. The rack is holding up really well. I have been out or the trails and don some rock crawling to see how it holds up. So far so good. I love the setup. Out of the way and easily acsessable.

i've been following you for a bit, and we both have 88's you know, we both have IRO long arms, and I just realized that we both have moon/sunroofs! lol. I need to rip my old headliner down, throw that piece of **** motor and trey away and just do what you have there.

I did the headliner with some 3mm spray glue and fabric. its time consuming. I would recommend running wire or anything you might need in the future then if you deside to do the liner.
