Just joined and looking for experiences to help me upgrade/mod my 2004 LJ. Attached a photo here. It is somewhat started, but working on the dash area next. Look for my questions soon enough.
Good Morning Jeepers!

Oooooo...I like the yellow with the black grille! That looks real nice. I also have tube bumpers & like how they look on your Jeep with the Ravine wheels. That's one sweet TJ man. Welcome to the forum.

Or stock flares... no offense, never been a fan of those. Just my lousy opinion...And bigger tires
Even still, very lovely ride!
I have the same front bumper and I'll vouch for it. Long story... I accidentally started mine in gear while standing outside of the Jeep. It climbed up the back then on top of my 99' outback sport. Only dinged the bumper a bit lol. Ya shoulda seen the other guy!
It all worked out though, otherwise my new to me of 2 weeks TJ woulda been down the hill, through the chicken coop, in the woods, who knows, wrapped around a tree? coulda been really bad! A couple of weeks later I got a recall notice...
Whatever the sensor/switch is called "vehicle may start while in gear"
I'm with you on that. I REALLY like the look of the stock flares.
It's just personal opinion, but I'm determined to keep my stock flares no matter what!

Tires are coming this spring with a 4" lift and 33" tires. That should get it a little closer to where I want it to be. Meanwhile, Here are the photos of the work in progress to date. They should be roughly in chronological order. The first ones are when I bought her. Already pulled the entire dash board out to spray bed liner, those photos will be uploaded shortly.
Left all the floor hardware in so I can use the seat if I need to. Just have to install the seatbelts when I do.
Be careful when offroading not to run those particular fender flares into anything, they're molded from a rather brittle crack-prone plastic.

Looks great ... I'm kicking myself in the ass for not doing the spray liner.. I opted for the paintable .. Thinking no taping less work lol well that backfired ..
That is Bed Liner, Rustoleum's Truck Bed Coating (Photo of the cans is above in the photo stream I posted). Holds up pretty well, but needs a little touching up here and there where I scraped it with a pallet.
