In keeping with the way this thread has gone I'm holding onto the white jeep for now and.............. Instead added Jeep number 4. 2002 TJ sport 5speed with 86k Dana 44 rear, 4inch lift SYE and drive shaft done. Delta headlights and rampage top. It's straight but filthy. Let the cleanup begin.
You can see where I started to clean the center console arm rest.
Plan is to clean it up and SELL it, maybe

Progress is being made in the clean up. Sanded and painted several prices and cleaned the interior made a huge difference.
Before
also removed the purple tint from the front windows. Will be replaced with normal tint.
After
When I bought the Jeep the battery was dead so with a jump box and a screw driver (ignition was torn out) I could get it running but that wasn't going to do long term. So hooked up to the battery tender and the batteryseems good. Ordered a new ignition tumbler, accuator pin and the electrical piece the pin goes in to start the vehicle. Matched the new ignition to the door key and now it doesn't look stolen
Had some scratches at the door entrance I fixed with some grip tape.
Stereo install kit was broken so I replaced that and continue to clean the interior up. The Rampage tops windows are so bad I can't even see out of them plus a hole in the rear plastic. So I'm ordering a new top in black. looking at grabbing another 15" steelie and 5 new 33x12.5R15 meats to go all around.

I've been busy cleaning and painting and cleaning some more. Also got in the matching 15" steel wheel so it has a matching spare. ordered 5 Cooper STT 33x12.5R15 which should be in by Friday.
The interior has really cleaned up well. This bikini top section of the Rampage top is still usable, the sides and rear I through out.
Simple things like painting the fender flares makes such a huge difference.
maybe a little overkill with the masking but it's easier than dealing with bedliner over spray.
Front grill had the typical chips and such so I masked it off and Plast-dipped it.
Looks so much better.
New soft top installed.
Front bumper and sway bar cover all cleaned up and repainted along with tow hooks and all hardware.
I use Rustoleum Truck bed liner, it feels sort of like a light grit sand paper when done and is tough stuff. The Monstaliner is a bit to rubbery for my liking for covering things other than the floor. plus a can of the Rustoleum stuff is like $8 at Walmart
For the radiator i slid pieces of card board in place and taped them together to cover it. I'd like to remove the front grill so I can paint the V shaped support that is in front of the radiator but behind the grill.
