Great thread so far.

 

Any more progress?

 

sort of. I was out of town for the weekend and when I picked up the rack there were some really thin spots in the coating, so I'm taking it back today to have it fixed...In the mean time, I was able to get my lights wired up and they are really awesome. I'll post pictures of everything once I get the rack back for good

 

some updates...

I got a hi lift jack for my 17th birthday, which was on Saturday! It's the 48" all cast one. I was originally thinking of mounting it on the roof rack but I think it'd be better and more convenient if I could fit it under the rear seat.



And I was at a garage sale today, where I found another hi lift jack for 5 bucks, so I picked it up for no reason. But if you want one for cheap, let me know!



As for the roof rack, I got the lights all wired up yesterday and they work great (I'll post pics later). It just sucks because I have to take them off tomorrow when I go back to the powdercoat place to get the rack fixed up...but oh well, I'd rather have it done right

 

Nice Jeep build so far, very creative. I am from Royal Oak, MI. I pass Saginaw at least twice a month when I head to my girlfriend's cabin!

 

Thank you! Royal Oak's a pretty nice place!

 

cool build next tires i get will prolly be 31's how do you like the feel of them and do they grip nice? looks like they would

 

thanks! I love them. They feel great and there's hardly any road noise too. And as for grip, I've only driven on them in normal road conditions so far, so I can't really speak for bad weather or off road yet

 

I replaced my steering stabilizer today with a rubicon express one. My old one was leaky so this should fix that. Pretty easy install for the most part too. It only took a little over an hour.

 

How wide was the cloth you bought for the headliner? I'm stealing that idea....

Did you have any seams? I couldn't tell by the pics.

Very tasteful mods...I like it.

 

Thanks! The cloth I used was 60 inches wide. You could probably get away with a little less but it would be cutting it close. And there's no seems either... I bought 5 yards of fabric so I had a lot to work with. Good luck if you do it! It's a fun mod

 

I bought an ORV license today. I'm hoping to go to The Mounds off road park this weekend!

 

Good luck. Show us some pics too lol

 

haha i will! it'll be my first time ever wheeling so it should be interesting

 

Awesome man! Hey, just take it easy, don't beat on your rig and know its limits.
