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.

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.
