Ok Not much to report did get some new door limiting straps made them from old ratchet strap here is the practice one don't worry the ones I made were solid black but if someone had a red and black jeep the practice would be a nice touch

Ok next high priority project will be to reupholster the seats the plan is reupholster with denier 1000 which i think is the same mateial the military uses to make all their cool gear out of. I believe bartact makes there slip on seat covers out of the same stuff also. This will be my first attempt at reupholstering seats so it will be a slow process I am sure
 
What are you planning on doing with the fender flares, paint, replace or? I replaced the OEM flares on my 04 with wider ones, and I had them painted to match the body.

I like your build.

Since your in Texas I was wondering about the sun fading whatever you put on the plastic. Where I live rust is the biggest issue. I'm looking forward to seeing pictures of the inside of your Jeep.
