Also found my fault I had in my rear speaker wires and pulled them out of the harness from hatch to backseat. And also did some organizing and clean up
Having fun fitting all those wires? Mine has to be forced in to even get the holes close to screw in!

Rustoleum is the worst, Duplicolor Bed Armor(not the cheaper style works alright. Rhinoliner roll on is the best ive used so far.


Today i trimmed the fenders to match the TJ flares. 4 hours for both fronts and another 4 for one rear. I know what and where to cut so that should help for the other rear when I get a chance. Cut into the front and rear of the rear fender so I had to buy sealer to fix the 2 small gaps. First 2 pics are before/after. Only took off about an 1-1.5" but it was significant. TJ flares are starting to blend finally.

Yeah, the rear is way easier than the front. I was able to replace both rear springs and shackles on my own but, had to get a couple of extra bodies to help with the front.

Also located my HID's with projectors for $235 local so I will be getting those this week! There's a pic of the projectors that I will have.

Cleaned up the rear where the PO did a cut-n-fold so it doesn't stick out and grab the tire when I stuff the tires. Front is also clearing fine. This hill wasn't enough to get full compression but it close enough!
