bed liner on the undercarriage
new stereo system (have 2 10" kickers already)
rebuild head
new exhaust from engine back
so far i've got 4.88 gears almost done in the d44 and soon to be done in the d30, so check!
i got 35's, not a/t's got m/t's instead, so check!
got 15" procomp steal wheels, not soft 8's. so sorta check!
no snorkel, new bucket seats, husky floor liners, bumpers, roof rack or sliders yet, but i do have jcr sliders on order. so no check!
i have a set of broken flares so another check!
i still have the np242, but did do a hack n tap so check!
i got a new drive shaft out of a 93 grand cherokee so check!
i don't have the bottom bedlined yet, but i did do the bottom half of the sides. so ehh?!
new stereo system is next, i hate the stock speakers
no rebuilt head just yet
new exhaust is on it's way, the header is installed as stated in earlier posts
so there you have it. a list that is pretty close imo to being complete
