I got the tom woods drive-shafts for cheap. It will work fine for now with the little tires. When I swap axles I'll go 1350.

Last summer I pulled the carpet out of the jeep. Heat coming in through the floor was terrible so I put it back in. I have a mouse problem and the jeep smells terrible. I want to pull the carpet back out. It gets wet whenever it rains with the top and doors on because of the half doors. What is the best way to knock that heat out? Will bed-liner keep the heat from coming through? Or bed-liner plus floor mats. My other jeeps don't have carpet but they don't get so damn much heat out of the floor either.
What about adding a heat shield between the exhaust and the floor board? or using the heat wrap on the exhaust?
Spray the inside with lizard skin heat shield.
beat the crap out of the JK this weekend at Canyons. I had fun running a little rig but the crazy long 116" wheelbase with 32" tires resulted in some to be expected carnage. All the skids underneath are beat to hell. Pass side rocker looks almost boatsideed already. Driver rocker has a smaller dent. Rear license plate mount broken as well as banged up rear bumper. The box tubing front bumper even got smashed up from winching out of a drop in with the weight of the jeep all on it. I also cut two tires. One is big enough to put fist in sidewall. The other is like two fingers but still too big to plug. I had fun but it is time to do some upgrades.
Why the hell would you take this jeep when you have a trail rig?
The whole family was with me
Damnit Clarke. I literally just gained 10 pounds reading that.Quote:

Just an update on the little jeep.
Grumper, 35's, 3.5" lift from a 2 door
Looks good. Can't say I'm a huge fan of the grumper, but to each their own.
What type of tires are those?
I just grumped a little bit
I think they are Mickey's, but I'm not sure need to look. I loaned the jeep to a buddy a few weeks ago while his is under the knife and yesterday we threw his old lift and tires on mine. He has a 2 door that we did Super Duty dana 60 front with RK 3-link long arm, 14 bolt rear RK 3 link long arm 6" stretch. Still need to set up gears, arbs and install driveshafts that should be in tonight. Oh and take to the exhaust shop too. He goes back to work in a little over a week hopefully his jeep will be complete before then.Quote:

I haven't driven it yet with the 35's. I get the jeep back Monday. And Tuesday I am finally installing the Atlas I have had sitting in the shop for a long time.
