[QUOTE="machoheadgames, post: 430476, member: 18789"] Thanks! At this point, yeah I basically have altered every single area in some way. Really my “keep it simple” name is pretty much a farce, but it stemmed from when I bought the Jeep. When I bought the Jeep, I wanted to keep it somewhat OEM+. Keep the stock design as much as possible, just improve and upgrade where I see fit. I mostly did that; but it seemed like everything I touched made the Jeep worse in some way. Especially when it was a daily and I truly just didn’t have time to dig into every system. Everything was a time crunch so I was fighting the clock and if the results were worse afterwards, I was stuck until the next time I could mess with it. So that is why I’m such a picky bastard now as I go through it. But that is where the keep it simple thing comes from, and for the most part, it is still OEM+. I try to make everything look like it could have maybe come from the factory a certain way. Doesn’t always work out but that’s the goal. Some things on the other hand are not stock looking at all and are way over complicated. It is what it is. I’m just tired of the years of driving it with imperfections so I’m trying to finally nip those all in the bud lol. I am looking forward to when this forum grows, not so much so people can look at my build but I like to look at others for ideas of things I haven’t thought of. And of course, it’s fun to have others appreciate your own stuff too so that is cool even if it isn’t the goal. I think I’m going to finish up the interior tomorrow if I can (minus carpet) tape all the butyl joints and reinstall the seats. I might be able to take it for a drive. I want to see how it does now. The only thing bugging me about buttoning up thf interior is I still haven’t received my damn tuffy radio delete panel, so whatever I button back up, I’m going to have to take right back apart later when that panel comes. i also still need to terminate my extended radio wiring that I ran to the console so I can plug it into my radio.
