89eliminator Posted July 10, 2008 Author Share Posted July 10, 2008 Very Nice! Can't wait till ours will be ready for it. What made you decide not to go over the bed rails? :cheers: Probably Taz's "experience" Sw2 yes that was the major reason, plus i don't really like the look of it over the rails. $425 was the damage, but i got a $40 "discount" because i was waiting around for the guy to get off the phone for 15 minutes and he felt bad.

BLHTAZ Posted July 10, 2008 Share Posted July 10, 2008 That's about what mine ended up costing after my "damage" refund :roll: They do a real good job and yours looks great :cheers: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TNT Posted July 10, 2008 Share Posted July 10, 2008 I will say your MJ is one of my favorites. The bedliner looks great. It should look good once everything is put back in. Some nice bumpers and a winch would be great to finish the look. It's a Jeep it will never be done. A 4.7" HO stroker engine would be sweet. I could spend $20,000.00 building mine easy. It wouldn't even look close to stock. Yours is almost too nice, I'd feel bad about any trail damage on yours. Mine will be meant to be beat on and bounced off stuff.

SuperWade2 Posted July 11, 2008 Share Posted July 11, 2008 Man, that just makes me want to run down to the LineX place here and get mine done... I don't have the Four+ Benny's to spare right now... Did you do anything other than take all your stuff out of the bed... any other prep work, etc or does LineX scrub bed and stuff before it gets sprayed...

SW2 just bring them a empty bed, and they do the rest. turn around time is 2.5 hours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you have any side view pictures with the roll bar installed? here you go. it wasnt a direct bolt in as the rollbar was about 2in too wide and the angle of the wheel well mounts were wrong. it took me about 2 hours to make it work.

89eliminator Posted October 6, 2008 Author Share Posted October 6, 2008 well i've been working on here quite a bit lately in an effort to get ready for this upcoming Badlands run. i've been having DW a lot lately so i've been checking things off the list and replacing whats bad. replaced all control arm bushings got tires rebalanced need to: replace steering box cause the shaft has play in it investigate tracbar cause that is also sloppy ...hopefully... the dw should be stopped so i don't have to worry about that. also found that my rubber brake line that goes from the bottom of the box to the top of the axle has a tear in it and i can almost see through it. i don't know how its been working, so i guess its time to put on my rubicon express brake lines front and rear.

reson46 Posted October 6, 2008 Share Posted October 6, 2008 also found that my rubber brake line that goes from the bottom of the box to the top of the axle has a tear in it and i can almost see through it. i don't know how its been working, so i guess its time to put on my rubicon express brake lines front and rear. Is it possibly the differential vent line and not the brake line? Willy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
