What are you guys going to install next? I got my 4.88's in and my detroit should be in by Wednesday.

I have some LightForce 170's I still need to put in. I just put some body armor and upgraded my CB to a Cobra 75wx ST this weekend.

I'm going to Monstaline my hardtop, whenever the junk arrives. And then sometime in October, hopefully before the snow, I plan on ARB diff covers and then holding off on anything until spring (read: June).

Mine's all scratched to hell and pretty deep. Between my mistakes (on trail and off) and moving a few times it's not in the best of shape. I've moved three times and all three times it was with the moving companies and they weren't kind. I don't know how they managed to do it but the last movers snapped the rear wiper arm but didn't damage the window, thank goodness. Next time I move it'll be on the Jeep.

I'm hoping the lining will make it look nice again and maybe reduce some of the noise. I only put the hard top on during the winter though.

No smartassedness read into it. It's a legitimate question.

Was it when you pcs'd? Shouldn't the moving company had paid for it?

Funny thing about the moving company.... They marked everything, my entire inventory, as having scratches. I can't prove what was there and what they did so I kinda got boned on it. I see their side, to a point. But whatever, I'm hoping the liner will make it more scratch resistant like it advertises.

I paid the $55 for the wiper, it really wasn't worth the hassle and the 3-16 month waiting period for reimbursement.

I just washed mine today. Then I drove through the construction on Debarr to get home. *sigh*

If I'm motivated enough I'll put my Lightforce 170's on tomorrow. I'm at least tearing the rear suspension apart, I have a squeak and it's driving me nuts.
