The next major improvement I made was putting new spring isolators, shocks, and a rough country leveling kit as the front end sits much to low from the factory.

Any pics from the side showing before/after or at least after installing this? Just to be clear, you don't have a lift right? Just added the front leveling kit after new shocks and isolators?

Love the LED interior pics. On superbrightleds, which color LED did you select? I think "cool white" was available for the festoon-type and all of the 194 applications. I was curious how similar in color all the bulbs ended up looking.

Also, Go Sioux! :thumbsup:

Unfortunately I don't have any before and after pics of the leveling kit, and no lift yet, just shocks and isolators. As for the leds all the leds I bought are cool white except for the turn signals and heater controls (Amber and uv respectively). The color is very close to the same as long as you buy the same intensities for all the bulbs. My floor lights are a lower intensity and the light is a much softer and less crisp then the overhead lights.

Thanks for the info about the LED's. Do you have a current side profile pic? I'm just curious to see what a WJ with the RC leveling kit but no lift looks like. Thanks!

This is the best picture I have of it right now, I plan on taking some more this weekend and will post up a couple of it.

Nice! If you have any more that would be great. It looks surprisingly good for stock springs. The new isolators and the front spacer make it look good!

Overland Rock Rails.

They were pretty rusty when I found them at the junkyard, so I patched all the holes in the sides and then just welded a piece of angle iron to act as a new bottom and is attached to the bottom of the piece that sits against the rocker panel. Rivnuts were used in place of the u nuts since the 99-01 models are not pre drilled for the mounting holes.

Sweet! Are the end caps on or not? I know typically those rust out first. Might also just be the angle of the photo too, not sure.

Nope, I ditched the caps as one of them was missing when I found them at the junkyard. They really cause all sorts of problems with how much dirt/water they hold so I decided to use gap filler to keep dirt / water out of them.

All right finally found a set! I have a 2000, so I'll need to figure out how to mount them too. Where did you get your rivnuts? I've never used them (or heard of them before), but a quick youtube search looks like I need to drill a hole and then somehow (depending on the type of rivnut) crimp it to the metal? I thought all WJ's had the access holes to put the U-nuts on, but there just needed to be a hole drilled for the bolt to go through into the U-nut.
