DISCLAIMER - I'm not picking on anyone. This is just a fact.

Lamborghini is putting verticle doors on their cars, but only on their V12 models. Only the people who have the money to afford the Murcie'lago will be allowed to have them.

When i got the jeep it had not headliner but before putting on in from a wrecked vehicle i used a couple of old sun shades, the reflective kind with all the little bubbles like packing material to line the roof on the inside with. I though it cant hurt to try and keep the sun heat down as it just do darn hot here in Vegas,



I just gut them with scissors and put them in. Seemed to work out pretty good so far,

Well its been a long time and I have done some mods. small like normal. I moved my cb from my roof to my rear bumper with a fab'd mount. Also cut off that plastic piece that runs under the front bumper and connects the fender. For free it looks really good. I'll post pics of the cb mount soon.
