    I ended up still doing my visors in snow camo. No pics of the visors themselves but they are in my "after" pics of the xj's headliner.

    Found a dirt hill and drove up it and bought some mesh for a grille :D Question. I have a 2wd with a rear differential lock on it (came with the TRD package I guess?) How does that put me above normal 2wds and how does it compare me to 4wd??

    You can lock your rear differential unlike most 2wd trucks. But its not as good as a 4wd without a rear locking differential

    Removed the bed topper today, looks a lot better in my opinion! The only thing is that it left some gouges in the paint on the bed rails, I was thinking of just getting some duplicolor bedliner and spray it on the rails. Any opinions?

    Yup. Need to get new ones thou because they are getting old! Probably hit up sockmonkey

    So would the order go regular 2wd, my truck, 4wd without the lock, and then 4wd with the lock?

    ^ Sweet, not at the very bottom of the totem pole! I can still do some off-roading but limited by steep incline, mud, snow, and rocks? Basically I can just drive off of pavement onto a dirt road? :tumbleweed:

    Got some goodies for a screaming deal from a local TW member! Time to order some spindle gussets. Don't want to bend another one.

    Nope, not on the bottom:p

    I've actually been pretty surprised what i can do in 2wd open, for the most part i hardly ever use 4x4, though it does help when having fun.

    That would be awesome if I get better gas mileage! I got between 20-21 driving 500 miles to get home, and it wasn't all highway driving. It was a mix of everything.

    Thanks!

    I didn't have this problem, I emptied an entire can of spray glue on the fabric too.

    3M Hi Strength 90 since the fabric was kinda heavy. The fabric I got for my car is quite a bit thinner so I picked up 3M Super 77 for that.

    Thanks!
