Well this past weekend I pretty much striped all of the carpet out and let it dry. But unfortunately in the process of taking out the center console I broke the ultra rare working latch... :/

I notice when you put that roof rack on you took the stock rack off, can I get the stock in those from you? I've been looking everywhere and can't find them!

Starting the painting this weekend preped one leafpack. I also need touch up the rockers. And I will paint the coils. Which brings me to the burning question. Should I paint the coils red or black. The theme is red on black and the shocks will be black soooooo. Which one?

Nice work so far. I hope you're not putting that carpet back in. Not afraid to wheel the **** out of a stocker...I like it. What latch are you referring to when you removed the center console?

Thanks! Not sure if I "wheel the **** out of it" but I definitely use it! The Carpet is already back in Lol. and the little plastic latch that keeps the center console closed is what broke.

Forgot to mention that last night when I climbed under the jeep to check out my options for my track bar. I noticed I have a new massive dent in the tcase cross member. No clue where it came from....I need a tummy tuck.....
