Looked at my half painted rock rails while I did yard work and cleaned the garage.

wheeled it, beat it, abused it and it never gave me a fuss other than running a little hot. ripped of my hood insulation and all was well after that.

Just got through priming the driver side and finished sanding the passenger side... Just gotta buy some bed liner and I will be ready to go.
You see somewhat horny to get this bedliner going, so I snapped some shots to show you my progress so far and how I mounted the flares.

I will complete the rest of the bottom of the fender and front flare this week sometime (off til the 16th) and of course the entire underside and interior floor. Kind of project rubber our the rust.

I am considering an allen head button type bolt, so I only made shot the bolts with a little stencil. I will rubberline them to match a bit better - it's only noticeable with the flash, not so much during the day. plus my road is pretty dusty right now.

What do you think so far?

I have never done it and just bought it last year. I have garage, but there isn't room for a Jeep, let alone much of anything right now (stupid mom hoarding stuff, she is finally getting rid of stuff).

It included taking off the cover and resealing it and all the fluid.
my job charges $50 per axle

Picked up some more parts for my front 44, Chevy brake calipers, caliper brackets, and axle shafts. Put in an offer for Chevy flat top knuckles. Contemplated going to the other JY in town and grabbing a 9" I've been wanting to get, but decided to wait since I made the offer on the flat tops.

Did a little more research about rear disc brake conversions for the 9" and found one that is almost the same as the Ford/Chevy hybrid brakes I'll be running in the front. 1/2 ton Chevy calipers front and rear with late 70's early 80's Caprice pads(so I can run EBC Yellow Stuff pads), and Ford 11.75" rotors all around.

I think my xj is jealous, my grandmother just gifted me her 01 wj limited
With i6 that just hit 100k miles (sweet!). Wj will become my new dd vehicle. xj should be happy because the money I put into ot now will be so it can be a dedicated trail rig. I don't know if I can insure both of them though so I might have to take it off the road or share it with my brother so my parents pay the insurance.
