Got some really strange looks at the carwash last night when I took the high pressure hose to my interior. (bedlined)

It was filthy after our backpacking trip last weekend. 22 miles in the rain tends to result in some nice muddy gear.

 

Soft top installed and a stock muffler replaced with a cherry bomb

 

ran the Jeep naked for the first time!

I tried to touch up the paint on the hinges while I was at it but I didn't like the way the paint was going on - I want spray not brush.

I also gave it a cleaning and trimmed my mats to fit properly (after market ones the dealer threw in... I need better mats).

I bought a pair of kayaks a couple days ago - I need a solution for mounting them.

 

Put my bestop tube doors on. They rattle really bad but I think a little tape on the latch pins should fix it right up.

 

Of course you know we'll need picture proof Mike

Got my bushwacker flares on

 

Looks killer steve. When did you add the bumper? Things lookin sick. Those mtr's look great too.

I just ordered some 15" american racing alloys for my 37's. Just need to gusset the c's and im good to go. Should regear too, but im waiting to save the cash to put a locker in the rear end at the same time. Debating on locking the little d30 too. I just dont wanna run a trutrac up front in the winter.

Maybe an ox locker in the rear and electric selectable up front...

 

Thanks Mike.... goes without saying yours is one sick mofo too

Got the bumper, winch and Hellas a few months ago now if I remember correctly.... like the set up so far.... would have liked a bull bar but wasn't reasonably priced to add that feature.

I would say strengthen the C's for sure on 37's.... what about the tubes? SLeeves?

I want to regear as well but will be saving for that for awhile... it's somewhat liveable on 35's with 3.73's and a standard trans.

Lockers well..... selectable being the best for winter driving of course but I've had real great performance out of a simple lockrite on the ol TJ.... it's all in what you want to do right

 

Im not sure about the tubes steve. Ive thought about trusses, sleves, external sleeves, ect, ect... But I dont want to sink money into RCVs, and everything else only to blow out my R&P and new locker. Then I'd have a pile of $$$ sunk into a nice shop ornament.

I think I might do a selectable rear and a semi locking front, and C reinforcement. Just see what happens.

60's are only 7 grand lol....

 

Got my new wheels today. Got a smokin price too. American Racing AR-23's in 15x10. Hoping I won't need to shave my calipers down to fit them. My 37x14.5x15 toyo mt's should be on them (and hopefully on the jeep) by the weekend.

I wonder what incidental expenses this will incur lol...

Those are my 4.88's behind the wheel. Just need the cash for an eaton e-locker and the install.

 

Nice simple looking wheel Mike Less is more sometimes and this my friend will be killer!

I've heard backspacing will decide if you have to shave the calipers or not but you'll see won't you lol.

Gears.... lockers.... 37's... damn dude... you're killin me with jealousy

Of course you know we'll need lots of
