By the way, sweet ride. I wanted an LJ bad, but couldn't pass this TJ up.

My rocker guards will come off after I do a body lift. I'll put them back on after some cleaning and refurbishment.

I did buy the hardtop. Much quieter for long drives. This will expand my comfort zone for offroading.

I installed the 12 O'Clock Labs SpeedoDRD to correct the speedometer. Very easy install and programming. Its a 20mm cube with a 6 foot wiring harness with factory plugs that goes at the transfer case. The plugs just go between the factory harness and the small cube can be mounted anywhere but should be protected from the elements. Currently it is zip tied at the transfer case for testing. Programing instructions to fix my 13.9% low speedometer. It should work for all TJ/LJ.

Today I finally finished my hardtop refurb. I painted the interior with SEM Landau Black and installed Hothead Headliner. Also got new gaskets for the tub mating surface. I really like the hard top but dont think I will use it that much so now I am wondering why I spent so much time on this! My Bartact seat covers (if I ever get them) will also be graphite with black trim so they should match pretty well.
I'd be interested to know if the headliner makes much difference in interior temperature with a black top. It's been CRAZY hot here in So Cal, I assume Florida is the normal Hot and Sticky.
OP
Yep, very hot hear. I asked on this forum and did not get a large number of answers but everyone did believe it helped in some way. Hoping to get some sound reduction also.

The hard top refurb looks beautiful!
Did you use a primer before the SEM Landau Black? I will be doing a similar refurb but white interior + headliner in October for a cold NY winter.

Thanks, it actually looks better in the Jeep with the black roll bar covers etc. I did not use a primer or paint prep. Probably should have. I also feel that even thought the SEM paint has very good reviews it does not cover very well. I had two cans of Landau black on hand and could have used three or more. Some places did not cover very evenly but its not noticeable at all once on the Jeep. No where locally sells SEM and I did not want to wait for another shipment.
I used nearly a half of a dozen cans but I tend to over do it. The black interior looks so much better than the disgusting OEM off-white. My only regret is not having done it sooner.

Sorry to bump an old thread but I'm looking at using the same Kicker sub to replace my torn factory sub and was wondering if your driving it with the factory amp still?
