My '97 TJ- "The Painkiller"

[MarineSniper]

Wanted to wash and wax before pics but rain coming. Finally finished the rear swing away (Garvin) and C02 tank mount. A bit overkill since I also have a Viair constant duty compressor and tank hard mounted underneath. The pic of the inside of my tailgate is my response to the MPAC Springtail system. I Herc'd a 1/2 piece of plywood and mounted it onto the gate. Then, I mounted my quick fists, MOLLE bags, flashlight, etc. Total cost of materials was 0. A lot more verstatile too. Inside of jeep was redone totally black (was tan).

Very Nice. I like the tailgate addition. 13 lights up front, wow. How do you like the 3 mounted across the hood? Any problems with glare? I've seen brackets locally for setting something like this up. Thanks for sharing. By the way, your spare tire cover is still enjoying riding on the rear of our Jeep. Had a friend (X-Marine) come in from San Diego the other day. He asked about it. He liked it,,, My wife laughs, sometimes thats the only item I clean regularly on the Jeep.

Love the hood mounted lights, I do not get much glare at all from them. Glad you are enjoying the tire cover, I really miss it.

Pardon me while I drool all over my keyboard! hahahaha :D

Drooling, hmm, you might want to get that checked.

Sweet looking rig. I really like your tailgate setup. What are your bags connected to?

I ran a piece of aluminum bar across the bottom, shimmed it with 2 washers on each side to allow straps to slide on.

As a fellow '97 TJ owner... I must say, Well done. It looks great.

Hey, that looks sweet. What did you use to paint the inside? I was thinking of painting my tan to black the other day when I bought the herculiner. I bought a crap load of those quick fists and never thought of a place to stick them. Thanks for the ideas man. The jeep looks sweet.

I think SinCityCJ was trying to do a group buy for the quick fists if anyone else suddenly realized that they would be sweet to add.

Painted the interior with Krylon Fusion Satin Black. Took it apart as much as possible, cleaned it, and sprayed it. Has held up very well, and is easy to touch up. Herc'd the tub, then added new black carpet, bestop seatcovers, and GEAR covers. I had ordered black tuffy console, glovebox, and rear boxes in black last year knowing ultimately it would all be going to black when finished.
