the bedliner you can get from http://www.monstaliner.com/ Its a little on the pricy side but it is well worth it in my opinion. It rolls on and the roller you use gives it the texture and you can get it in just about any color you want. And yea im really tempted to do the whole jeep in the stuff but the paint is just too nice right now to cover haha

wow been a while since i updated! alot has happened actually. Ive added alot more stuff to the jeep. I have added HD offroad relocation brackets for the rear and had powdercoated them at work. I would highly recommend these for anyone they are awesome and super beefy.

I also paired these with the Zone off road 1" boomerang shackles. great combo and allow for super amounts of flex.
Since i did all that the rear was much higher then the front so i ordered new coils for the front from serious offroad. Hes an awesome guy to deal with and will do anything to help you get what you need. So i lifted the front more and the control arms were to short so i ended up ordering my longarms. i ordered them from seriousoffroad.com and he makes them himself. These things are just super beefy and he will paint them any color for you. His customer service was awesome and i would say if your going long arms go with his set. They are so well built and are an amazing price. The install was also pretty easy too. just takes common sense and basic tools.

theres a pic of test flexing it for the new shocks. Thats before the coils even un seated themselves. i ended up going with bilsteing 5100's. Theya re definitely worth the price. They ride amazing. also, since i lifted it more i needed some bigger tires. I ended up going with BFG KM2's and cragar soft 8's. I love them so far they grip amazingly in everything.

So i went on a trail ride just exploring some new trails and forgot to disconnect the front swaybar and bent the crap out of the mount on the axle.

Some future mods im going to do is 1 ton steering, New track bar, and some sliders, and a locker. Oh! and also im going to swap to 4.88 gears.
1 upgrade i forgot to add was my rear axle swap. I swapped in a 8.25 from a 2001 cherokee and did the disc swap on it.90cherokee teen build!-261617_584087761623665_1231871543_n.jpg

And one other thing i did last weekend was a cooling system upgrade. I swapped to the new system and did a new radiator, waterpump, thermostat and housing, fan and i also wired the electric fan to a switch.

Woo! update time! This weekend my friend and I (he drives the red comanche previously pictured) put on my 1 ton steering from serious offroad. these things are super beefy! Install was simple. Ripped out all the old steering, drilled the knuckles and pitman arm to 7/8 (the drill didnt like this much as it was rolling smoke out of it while drilling) And then finished putting it all on. So far after test driving it these things are a amazing, they steer really nice, dont make a single noise while steering. They are also really easy to adjust. Anyways here is a pic of the steering installed
