Won't the inner door panels be difficult to keep looking clean if they are white?

Sanded down the front bumper, modded the factory riser and welded it to the front (plan on mounting my new driving lights to it), spraying the bumper down with bedliner right now. Should be done shortly, then let it dry until tomorrow so I can make the light brackets for it.

Thats a concern yeh but ima give it a shot.. Unlike my dash i painted black and white which the white has proven hard to keep clean ,i have heard monsta doesnt attract the dirty and grime and will be easier to clean... Thats a theory ima give it a shot worst case itll force me to show it a little tlc haha

Changed my front and rear dif fluid today. I discovered that the whine that I thought was an axle bearing, turns out that it is my carrier bearings are shot. Looks like I'll be trying my hand at rebuilding it, I don't think I can afford to take it to a shop

I like it, the soft top is black on the inside. And i have tinted windows so its black as night with the soft top it seems like its about the same!

I have never replaced the carrier bearings, but other than needing a press (to press bearing on carrier), I would think this would be a pretty straight forward job and that it would not effect the backlash. Do a search to confirm that my hunch is correct.

That's what I was thinking/ hoping. I'm doing a little searching now trying to get it fixed over the weekend.

Took off my huge 7" flares and put my freshly repainted stock ones on. It was such a huge pita but so worth it

Is your factory paint shot? I can think of no other reason to ruin a perfectly good Jeep.

Purchased a barely used soft top for my LJ today. Ripped the original one at the seams yesterday. I plan on installing it tomorrow. Any tips would be helpful. Tom
