    The Jeep is looking pretty good. Is he keeping the 6 or maybe adding a V8 ?

    That is an excellent idea! He did a great job with it as well. Looks good. I might have to steal that idea on my 5.

    The project looks great. I am not a fan of bed liner. I think it is a great product and a great idea until you need to take it off the tub. Then it is a pain in the a$$. That is the only reason I don't like it. And the darker colors act as a big heat sink. In Florida that would suck. But I think the project is fantastic.

    Looks great! Could the "bed liner" be painted over with the body color?

    Looking very nice. I thought about an access cover as well, after replacing 2 sending units om my 5. Now it needs another one.
