Not sure how much it would be to have just the lower half done, but its about 1K to have the lower half + the interior floor done

That's not bad. I gotta imagine a Kevlar based liner will hold up to anything.

I love those rear quarter panels on the Blue Jeep. I saw them some where but can't remember. Does anyone know where they sell them? I'd really appreciate it! Thanks in advance!!

Unfortunately I some how managed to delete the pics of my grimy axles before i started to rebuild them...Oh well...Here are a few shots of the 9" rear completely finished and the HP44 almost done...my good friend owns S&S Custom Off-Road in Prescott, AZ and was more than willing to help me out with the front and rear setups...only took us a couple of night to get them all cleaned up and put together...I would have never made it to Moab for EJS if it wasn't for Shane helping me cut some time out of the build!

The 9" specs: Superior 5.13 gears, Superior EVO 35 spline shafts, Superior aluminum third member, 35 spline Detroit Locker, F-150 rotors & Chevy calipers...
