This is my 2003 Jeep Tj wrangler, I have had it for a about a year. I had a 1997 Grand Cherokee but I got rear ended by a big moving truck and it was totaled.

**UPDATE**

I finally got my jeep lifted!!!! I got a Rubicon Express 3.5" superflex kit with procomp xtreme M/T 305/65 R17. The wheel are 17" American Racing ATX rims. I also installed a custom catback system, volant cold air, throttle body spacer and a set of lights on the hood and the front bumper

Some other mods include: Stereo system, Grenade Shifter knob

A little mudding

I changed out the stereo, put in 6.5 inch Focal components in the back, infinity kapa's in the front with an alpine deck. I also put in a 10inch JL W3 powered by a phoenix gold Trantrum 500.2 amp. The speakers are powered by a Zapco AG 360 amp.

Here is a picture of the Focal's when I was installing them, I had to buy new pods to house them in

thanks for the compliments man, i like what youve done with yours, 5 stars. I actually havent bought a CB yet, im saving up for a tuned up one and a PA. but i removed my centerconsole and drilled a small whole in the bottom and ran the antenna wire up into the console so i can mount the CB on the inside of the console. just a thought to keep it outta sight. i still have the stock axles on mine (dana 30 and 35 in the rear) with the stock 3.73 gears. This summer i plan to install 4.88s when i get the money

Thanks for your comments! It's funny that you ask about the Kenwood system cause I had it removed yesterday to go for servicing. It just stopped working and I suspect it's because of all the vibration from wheeling. I don't have any pictures yet but I'll be posting some soon. As for the screen, yes it does cover the vents but it all depends on how far out you adjust the screen. I have set mine at about 1/2" away from the vents so I don't have problems with high temperature on the screen. However, on cold days you might want that screen tucked away so that you can have nice warm air blowing directly at you. Where have you installed your focal speakers? I can't tell from the picture. I'm in the process of setting up a sound system now so I'm looking for ideas. I've removed my sound bar beacause of the additional bars on the roll cage.

Hey no problem. I have had absolutely no issues with the wheel spacers and my rig is a DD as well. They even come with red loctite. I've never had the spacers come loose. They always stayed on as tight as I put them on before. Definitely register on jeepforum.com and post up all your questions! Everyone is great on there. Lots and lots of knowledge that has saved me many mistakes, money, and time. When you start workin on the TJ here are two of the best websites out there in my most honest opinion. I have consulted them repetitively: http://4x4xplor.com/mods-TJ.html http://www.stu-offroad.com/index.asp Happy wheelin!
