Lizard skin is a good brand my old xj had it when i flooded the inside and had to trash the carpet. it is louder but im running a loud exhaust and loud tires so thats not an issue for me. If you dont mind making a few sacrifices go ahead but i would install some drain plugs that way when you want to clean the floor you can just use a hose and drain the water. Good luck bro. (only read the 1st page so not sure if any replies might be similar to mine and its just my opinion)

i went pretty thick but this was after i repaired a bunch of holes in my floor so i wanted to make sure it was nice and thick. honestly i dont think you have to go all to thick. grab 2-3 gallons just in case. if you have extra do the underside or sell it on the forum.

Thats a good looking jeep! Im interested in hearing how much difference the bedliner makes in road noise, as said before I also have big tires and plan on getting a loud exhaust so I don't know how much it would bother me. I think its a great idea and hope to see pictures of it soon. I also like your fender flares think I need a set for mine, and I really like you headlights! Do you know what brand they are? I still have have what I think are the stock ones and they are foggy and yellowed pretty bad. Will be following your progress!

Making progress
About to start the morning off right cup of joe and some jeep work
Dropped the tank and this is the state of the old fuel looks like I'll have some parts cleaner
Last time it was registered so I'm guessing it's been sitting up since then
USA made on right China made on left wires are night and day the American part gauge wire is twice the size we shall run the China stuff and see how she holds up the U.S pump has been in since 2012
Closer picture of the two
Pulled the plugs
Figured while I had the interior out of do it right and replace my evaporator and heater core out

Jeep not starting
alright going to start from the beginning
Jeep ran good when I bought I trailered it home and drove it in my garage, I was working out of town a lot but when I came home I would crank it and run it for a few minutes just to keep the fluids moving, I missed once and it was about a month before I tried again and that time it had no start at all
So since I was basically the last person that really worked on the jeep and know pretty much everything about its upkeep from the looks of it it's never been tuned up or anything since I sold it in 2011 so changing parts isn't a problem since I kind of want to do it anyway here's what I got now
Fuel filter and pump are new
Cps is new
Idle air control is new
Brand new optima battery
I took cap and rotor off and cleaned up the points as well as the shaft and reader I cleaned up the plugs as well and cleaned the grounds up and put new cable ends on as well
I'm not getting any Fire , new and the old cps both passed the ohm test I'm thinking maybe the ecm is bad bad part about that is there's not any type of identification on it what so ever if any ideas hit me up and let me know like I said prior I will be replacing parts anyway so throwing parts at it won't be an issue q

Stealer ship can't seem to get their crap straight my ecm isn't working and there's zero identification on it to tell me the part number I've given them my bin and I've called all the dealerships including the crystler main number and I've gotten three different ecm part numbers and they go to the v8 engines from what I've found online how many 4.0 ecms are out there for the 94 models

Great day to grill out some beer butt chicken
Starting the lizard skin
This stuff really goes down good only problem I have with it is my compressor can't keep up with me lol
Laid down two coats of the sound control going to let it set up and hit it again next weekend <br/><br/>On the side note does anybody have access to vehicle info with vin number I'm trying to get a ecm and need to see if somebody could look it up with my vin
