Pics of my '95 restoration....

I ordered my '95 from the factory, a SE Sport model, with air, LS 3.73 in the rear, cloth seats, black. It was my daily driver until I bought my Tacoma about 3 years ago. The Jeep has about 70K miles on it, zero rust so it's in awesome shape but the paint was oxidized a little, I wanted to go with a new Jeep bright silver color and I wanted to lift it, etc.

I first Herculined the tub, then added a RE XD 4.5 lift with Soft 8's/BFG KM2's. I ordered front and rear JCR Offroad bumpers, and Shrockworks sliders and had the paint shop powdercoat then (the sliders were line-x'd for grip as well). I added a Banks cat-back with a Magnaflow high flow cat, K&N CAI (for ****s), TW front and rear drive shafts with 8 degree shims, and Xenon flares.

For the interior, I added some Tuffy storage boxes including a Tuffy console, new carpet (I know what you're thinking!), a Sony in dash with Infinity speakers/amp (in a Tuffy speaker box) and a Fosgate 10 that can be easily removed. I will finish up the interior today. I am also having a local upholsterer re pad my rear rollbars in that I got a crossbar for the rear hoops and I want it to look factory. I'll post more pics when I get everything finished. Here are a few quick shots. What do you thing so far?

Looks great man, almost new. I've been thinking about getting a maganaflow exhaust and those Xenon flares too. Now please go get it dirty.

P.S. If you've never had the KM2's you'll love em. It seems that everyone in our club is switching to them. They ride super smooth for being an MT and are great off road too.

Looks great. Did you use the TJ or YJ rear flares from Xenon?

Looks great.

One question. Considering you are the original owner and it is/was a black Se Sport. Did it by chance have a "sport stripe" listed under options on the window sticker?

Trying to figure out if the stripe on mine is from the factory (looks like it and it was listed on my window sticker, but never saw another jeep with a similar stripe).

Just idle curiosity I guess, but the question keeps popping into my mind.
