I used rustoleum truck bed coating for that. I love the stuff and used it on my bumpers, all the flag poles I make for trailer hitches, my trailer, and more. It's great and I love the texture.

 

NC tint law is 35% on the front two, no restriction on the rear and only tinted to the AS1 line for the windshield. Yours looks awesome.

 

heard good things about zone, I have an alpine monoblock amp and sub, kenwood headunit to a Polk audio amp to some pioneer coaxial speakers. Make sure you go 6.5 speakers. They fit without modification and make a huge difference. Is the 8.25 a 97+ because before 97 is was 27 spline not 29, also would suggest disc brakes, locker fresh fluid and paint while you have it out then swap in when you lift.

 

SC law is 27 and AS1 allowed on windshield but I've never gotten in trouble for it. I've been pulled over with the tint and he didn't say a word about any of it. Honestly going to 20 is worth it in my opinion, and 70 is hardly noticeable when looking at it but the tint knock off so much heat.

 

Yeah its a 01, the issue is the donor jeep needs to stay rolling so i need to swap mine out with his. It may be a really busy weekend if he still has it when i lift. If not i guess i can get one from the junkyard later. Ive read a lot about Zone and can't seem to find anything bad other than maybe rough shocks. I was going to go with OME or BDS but figured i can save some cash and buy discos and a trackbar

 

I think we spoke of this before possibly in another thread. You can still lock and disc brake swap easy with it on the jeep, probably to do all the axle work a whole day at a relaxed pace.

 

Got the headliner, overhead console, sun visors and speaker bar reinstalled. Looks way better than before.

 

Still rockin the crappy paper speakers till I figure out what I want.

 

6.5 shallow mounts (for the doors) 6.5 whatever depth you want for the rear. That's the route I went and they're great!

 

Finally added the battery I should have bought the first time. My F150 needed a new battery so I figured I would order a new yellow and put my red in the truck.

 

Well after countless hours of trolling the forums and searching website after website for "what lift to buy" I finally pulled the trigger on the 3" lift from BDS. Ive been leaning toward them since the start but then rockridge4wd.com sealed the deal with 20% off in the vendor section. That makes it pretty much on par with RC prices considering what you get in the kit. I also grabbed a little set of pandemic lights, for the price i will find something to do with them im sure. Now i just need some wheels and i will be content...for awhile?!

 

BDS makes some great kits. I'm sure you won't be disappointed at all. Plus, BDS and Zone are one in the same. Kinda like Honda and Acura.

 

Im thinking i will add in the zone full leaf pack in a few months.

 

Get the full packs now if you can. You'll need to do the job 1 time that way.

 

I could see my headliner through the windshield so I ordered some matte black viny. I applied it to the top of my windshield. Looks way better than it did.
