| That's a good upgrade. Those SM465s are much cheaper than a NV4500 too. | |

| You should spray bed-liner on the outside. I saw one done on a jeep website and it looked great! | |

| The drive lines are finished and installed they were $90 to have the front lengthened and the rear shortened , I am going to have to trim some aluminum off of the bell housing as the front drive line is a little to close for my liking . | |

| I put on some advance adapter motor mounts and transmission mounts , whoever had the jeep before and did the v8 swap really half asked it , I also fixed up the hacked up under hood wiring . | |

| Rattle can bed-line that whole bitch. I did that under the back fenders when I took out the factory liners back there. HF sells some that is great. Gonna shoot the bumpers and fender flares with it too. The sell the spray on or a gallon can that can be rolled on. | |

| Its better than the Rustoleom stuff. I haven't used the roll on stuff, but I've read/seen results of it and it looks good.
The more coats you spray, the thicker it gets. Been holding up fine for me. | |
