Saw this driving. I have so many questions. Like why not just close the tailgate.

More tile

Water pump might as well especially if you don't know when it was replaced last. Fan clutch if it wiggles otherwise leave it. Also good time to consider a open system vs closed depending on year

My current home project is redoing the basement bathroom. Been slow moving but coming along. Currently tiling. Hoping to be done by end of july with it all. Told the wife this is the last remodel project for a while need to work on the jeeps!

Paint it

Now I know how the "People of Walmart" get their content.

I used both the mothers ball and the hobo freight kit. Harbor freight kit works a lot better. Polish ball was fine for basic maintenance/clean up but wasn't able to give me the shine like the actual polish kit.

I used these and sand paper by block/hand. https://www.harborfreight.com/4-in-400-grit-abrasive-ball-61183.html

You might have to sand it down with a 1000 grit or so and build it back up. Looks like it's oxidized a lot and polishing alone won't get it there. Below is a turbine I polished. I started with 120 to 400 to 600 to 1000 to 2000 then used a good polish on them. The pic of both is untouched and 600

You could get away with bridging the speaker outputs for the front and running just an amp for the rear speakers but would still recommend another deck if you plan to ran an amp that has both front and rear. Yes, the deck is enough to drive those speakers. I run those same speakers in both my WJ and MJ. WJ doesn't have an amp and is fine but after being in the MJ leaves a lot to be desired, WJ is a lot bigger so again should be enough for that cab. Purpose of tweeters/components is to carve out the high frequencies and position them else where so they can be separated from the mids/lows to be more clear. Without having something for the lows it can make for a very tinny sound, so you'll just end up adjusting your treble down to compensate which defeats the purpose of tweeters/component speakers. Well rounded mids are more important. This is my preference but if I was just running speakers id get some well rounded mids and forgo subs or tweeters.

You need to look for another deck if you want to run a Amp. That one doesnt look to have pre Amp outputs. I know some amps let you connect the speaker wire to them but sound quality sucks. You don't need a Amp for speakers if you're not looking for it to be loud. Also MJ cab is small so a little goes a long way in terms of power and speaker size/placement. I'd forgo tweeters or component speakers unless you run a sub. I have a 8" sub with 6.5 rear and 5.25 door speakers going through a 5ch amp, extremely happy with it. Loud enough that I can party but not so loud I'm rattling fillings loose.

I'd say 35s on a open diff 33s with varilok.

In my WJ I have one. I'm on 32s, with a lunchbox and the HO V8. I haven't had any problems and I've smoked the tires on a few occasions. While I don't think it's the "best" axle I don't think it's crap. Definitely a step up from a turdy5 which still isn't saying a lot.

Assuming you already have a deck that can support a system, if not you need to start there. You just need something that has RCA pre outs to run amps. I'd suggest getting a deck that can support subs and a speaker amp, but depends how loud you want it. Could get away with a sub amp only but will need to adjust your eq so you just don't hear bass. I have a 5ch amp with a 8" and it does well. Doesn't rattle any fillings loose but keeps enough for what I want. This is the deck I run. I like it, it's a BT only so enough space to run everything. https://www.kenwood.com/usa/car/excelon/kmm-x704/ That alpine is a powered sub. Should just need power, ground, remote turn on and RCAs. Amp is built in. If it doesn't work than you can use one of those amps. looking at the kicker there is a 2 ch (sub) and 4 ch (speakers). Alpine looks to be a solo and others can't tell. As for the sub simple way to put it is if you want better sign go with a 4ohm louder 2 ohm. Obviously dual voice coils and others things can change a lot but that's the simple way. If space is your concern look at a 5ch amp I have this amp https://soundstream.com/product/pn5-640d/ Wiring is easy, not a lot to it. Just buy quality OFC wire. I used these guys. For the money great stuff https://www.knukonceptz.com/

Out in the beehive state (UT) for a football tournament. Stopped at the Beer bar, because why wouldn't you, sipped a few tasty brews. First was a New Zealand style pils from storm breaker, pretty good, not the best Ive had. Other was a czech style pilsner from bohemian which I thought was exceptional.

Good grief 181k?! F that. For that amount I'm saving 20k and getting this. https://expeditionmeister.com/expedition-trucks/stewart-and-stevenson/lmtv-m1079-fully-built-out-overland-truck-i321

I dig them. Saw one recently that someone lifted and did some work on. Used axles from a XJ and was running 33s.

eBay or online tire shops have been what I use. I either have the issue of the local places can't/won't get what I want or won't price match. Only issue I've run into is getting them mounted, some places flat out refuse to put on tire you don't purchase from them or charge a crazy amount. Les schwab once wanted to charge me 60 a tire to mount and balance because I didn't buy tires from them. Discount just charges more but they've been my goto for most things it a local tire shop if discount is being difficult.

Had saw that done before. This set I wasn't planning on spending a lot of coin on. Other than sanding paper and some of the special conditioning tools just been my time to clean these up. Mainly was just trying to bring these back to life either polishing or painting. The other set I have is in a lot better shape and those I'll probably powder coat.

Cool, thanks for the input. May just polish this set and powder coat the other set. This set is rough so they have to get sanded down.

Have a spare set of turbines that I'm messing around with. I decided to polish one of the wheels. This was the "test" wheel that's almost done but needs paint and to be redone to get the mirror finish. Wanted to do one quick and see if I like the look. Not sure if I'm sold on the polished look for them or not. Thoughts?

I know the gasket you are 100% at the mercy of used. No one makes them. Not sure on the felt. I feel like someone recently used a DIY type kit, but few beers deep rambling about jeep things so I might be making that up.

I used the Meguiars foam ball (same concept) and tossed to the side it after a wheel. All the little nocks and crannies tore it up on my wheels Ended up picking up this https://www.harborfreight.com/14-piece-aluminum-polishing-kit-98707.html And it worked a lot better. You'd probably be good with that though.
