And here is my current problem...
This in in the front bottom part of the rear drivers side wheel well.
And this is what I found hiding under the cladding beneath the doors... Of course its on the drivers side. This is right in front of the rear wheel well.
And this is what it looks like underneath...Keep in mind this Jeep came from Michigan... I was surprised...lol
And I just think this is kind of cool... I had it sprayed with bed liner right after I bought it, so it will remain rust free.

And here is proof that I need a lift...
And here are some interior pictures...
And btw... this is our road after a good rain... It can get a little bad in the winter months and dusty the rest of the time... Wasnt too bad today though...
I am planning a lift in the winter some time. As of now, I have some up country springs. Im planning on a 2 inch BB as well. Also some 255 BF Goodrich all terrain TAs and some JK rims... Maybe a roof rack for camping and the like... Im planning on driving this thing back and forth to college, so it being user friendly, yet element worthy is a big necessity.
If anyone has any comments or questions, feel free to speak up...

Looks nice Dave. One thing I would have done differently though, and that's to use a factory hitch that comes out through the bumper cover rather than under it. That way you wouldn't have lost as much ground clearance in the rear. Maybe 6", but still. JMO

Yeah, dont remind me...lol
I bought a factory one before the Reese one and I later realized that the hitch came though the rear cladding. I pretty bummed that I bought it (only $35, but still) and later bought the Reese one though because I needed a towing solution fast for the upcoming mowing season.
I still have the factory hitch and am looking for a peice of rear cladding with the hole in it. Its just a matter of finding one...lol
Ah... and I would need the wiring harness, but I already bought a 4 prong power inverter for $70. I would rather have the outlet, so if I did ever change what I have, there goes some more money...lol

Before...
Then after 2 coats of POR15...
Then after the POR Patch...
And I had some left over POR15 so I painted the frame rails and the area between the rocker panel... I did this on both sides...
