I know that sound. I did the same. That little buzzing from the passenger side rear. Are you planning on putting anything back there besides the bed liner? Rubber mat or something?

Bedliner. Looking like I'm probably going to do monstaliner. Getting rid of the carpet also uncovered a very intermittent clanking noise. Going to take a look at my rear suspension... Only happens when going over pretty good bumps.

That's the basic idea. I haven't decided if I'm going to run carpet in the passenger compartment yet... I'd like to get rid of it but it provides a good bit of sound dampening and heat insulation... There was water under my rear carpet and I assume it's the same up front. Hoping there's no rust but I think if there is it should just be on the surface.

Yeah I have a mold problem in those areas of mine. Perks of working for a restoration company.

^Can't believe this place was open. The only people there other than me and my friends were cops (they actually had chains on their tires!) and Fox 5 News.

^After doing donuts for like 3 hours in the snow/ice

Getting the ice off my wind-shield and everything was a PITA. I ended up using a flat head screw driver. Probably scratched the hell out of it, but I'm getting a new one before summer is over. Had tons of fun, way better than Snowpocalypse part 1. Much more ice this time.

Lol yeah I'm not worried about it at all. I could still see out of it so it's all good. Seriously though I had such a good time driving around in the snow. Saw a cop drifting too.

Ohh wow, I know where you live, man... Marietta Diner, I've been there once.

Anyway, glad to see someone else was level-headed in the hysteria that's known as Georgia when snowy.
Clean Jeep, too.

Yeeaaaaaah, but you get used to it. Once you take the rest of the carpet out, you don't notice the fuel pump so much anymore... guess why

Haha... seriously though, I love the difference.

On the bright side I've already gotten used to it. I knew it was gonna be louder!

These showed up. Went to NAPA and they didn't have any of the mounts, but I ordered one and it'll be there tomorrow... but I won't be back in Canton to get it till the weekend probably. Still need to get some flap discs for the grinder and clean up the PO tard-welds.

Nice... I need to do that for mine... but the hatch isn't falling and knocking me unconscious until the temp falls below 50 outside so it's not an emergency yet I guess
