Niiiiice! I'm jealous over the sliding rear windows.
Well I will have knocked out next years phase 2 build plans by end of next week. Went into local Jeep shop by the house to discuss putting in new clutch and flywheel, previous owner had bought and never installed. Clutch wasnt noticeably bad, but vehicle had 85k miles and had been wheeled moderately previously so figured do it now and be done and have the boxes out of my garage. One conversation, and maybe lucky on my part turned into a clutch, regear and nearly brand new long arm kit he had just picked up for one of his project jeeps going into mine start of Monday. So before next friday, Jeep will be on long arm kit, tummy tuck, 4.88's and the originally planned new clutch. Like any project, my current jeep sits on 33's with 15x10's(PO selection), so to avoid looking like I skip leg day, Ill be ordering 35's and new wheels of my taste to go on. I guess I should probably start a build thread, name it "Don't tell the wife."
The below pictures were the sound deadening and bedrug install that I'm very happy with along with inner shift boot replacement which coupled with new console there is no discernible heat that I can feel now versus the inferno that it was prior to the boot replacement. Very happy with how this all turned out and inspiration came from here and the multiple threads on the topic.

Stripped the rear frame section. Those coil perches are kind of a pain to get to

Finally found someone reputable to do my seats and steering wheel in Leather. I changed the leather steering wheel to match the interior color. Here are the before and after pictures.

My trailer has the same size/thread studs as my Jeep, but the trailer's rims are Bassett racing rims (street legal with a shallow backspacing). These racing rims have a different cone angle, and it is almost impossible to find lug nuts with that cone angle except for large(er) racing open end lug nuts. I didn't know how hard it would be to find lug nuts with that cone angle when I got the rims. I think the Jeep's rims use a 60-degree angle lug nut, while my trailer's rims use a 45-degree lug nut (or its the other way around - it's been a while and I forget which is which).

Wasn’t all in a day obviously….but in the last few weeks I’ve replaced my adjustable front and rear track bars. Rockjock Double adjustable c/a’s. Four detachable sway bar links sway bar bushings ….installed sssye and double cardan d/s …smittybilt rock sliders rear pinion seal spicer u-joints and finally hi-line fenders (pita).... steering was getting bad most items needed to be replaced...some did not... just wanted to upgrade
Removed my grill cover to wax the red paint underneath. Thought about leaving it off, but too many rock chips for my liking. Red wax can only do so much.
On your rig, I prefer the black grille, Boog.
I wish they still made that cover… looks good!
I think it matches his dark mood!!!!! Or his black heart, depending on the day of the week!!!!!
Installed the OBA last night, time to go test it today.

Got rid of a dreaded squeak I recently experienced by removing the polyurethane bushed rear sway bar end links, then played with a few of my best girl friends. One is carrying our next fur baby which should be born in late August
