For anyone considering taking out the carpet... when people say it's loud they aren't joking. Whenever the Jeep is on I can hear the fuel pump chugging along. Loud as hell.... not worried about it though!
Sounds just like when you first turn the Jeep to "on" and you can hear the pump priming, so I'm assuming it's normal. lol.

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.

Pictures from Snowpocalypse 2014 part 2.




^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.

Same goes to you! Always good to have another Georgian around. And another 2 wheel driver!
No, I don't lick fish.

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
