I am creating this build thread for her, since I am the one doing all the work to her Jeep.

So far the jeep is fully stock except I replaced the mirrors yesterday. Here is what I have done so far:

Got the new mirrors in yesterday.

Not to bad, but its very delicate, tons, and I mean tons of clips that can be broken very easy!

Now I am planning on ordering some new parts for it, today I ordered foglight bezels to match the grill and mirrors on the car now. They look like this below, I will post more about these when they come in sometime between now and Feb 6th according to ebay.

This is the photo from ebay: Ordered they were 78.00

Here is a list of stuff I want to buy right now, but all this stuff is expensive and will probably only buy one thing a week for it.

Husky Flootmats (I like how they really protect the carpet)

The jeep looks nice and will be much nicer with those few additions. I will let you know about the Huskyliners. I ordered a set of weatherbeaters for front and back of my truck. They will be here today.

post a thread on the quality if you can.

that thing will look sharp when those get done.

i agree the jeep is going to look real nice with everything done to it

From the front...

More to come when I get more money to order stuff.

They look good in there... .lol I saw those earlier today, bout 5ish

I didnt put them in there until after 6:00 tonight. They were still in the box when I got home at 6:00 an hadnt been open. YOu already taking your meds? :cuckoo:

Those look very nice. Its the little things that make it stand out.


A side note, I FINALLY got my HuskyLiners due to UPS forgetting my package in Fairmont 4 days in a row, so I will try to get some pics maybe tomorrow and post on here.

looks good...

Sweet thanks Brian, I really wanna see them, cause for the jeep they are gonna be a pretty penny. I wanna make sure they are worth the money. :smilie3:

I dont know much about the husky liners but i bought WeatherTech liners for the evo, they are fitted too.

Here is a link for the the jeep...

Thanks nghthwk, if the huskys turn out to be crappy, (thank you Brian for testing them) I will go with the weather tech, how do you like those anyhow Ngthwk?

You can call me Eric if you want

I really like the weathertechs. They are really sturdy and fit the car well, just take them out and powerwash them

Cool Eric, I'd actually like to see yours in person, then check out Brians in person and compare, then choose the best for wifey.. Think that would be an option?

That would be cool with me, just have to find a day to get together and let you check them out

I did some looking around when I bought mine between the HuskyLiners WeatherBeaters, and the WeatherTechs. Both were molded and had the same coverage, but the WeatherTechs were $50-$60 more. I couldn't find $60 worth of value or extra protection in the WeatherTechs to justify the added cost. Looking around its a Ford-Chevy thing. Some guys like the Huskys, some like the WTs. Both are going to last a good long time, so its really what you like and how much you want to spend.

I dont wanna spend much, I wanna spend on the outside of the vehicle.

i agree that the price is steep but they turned out to be well worth it, the fit looks good and itll be nice not to ruin the carpet in this car like i did in my first car... didnt have the second car long enough to ruin anything

To answer your earlier question, if you want to hold and see a set before you order, I don't mind you checking out mine.

My only days off for the next week are tomorrow and sunday, either day works for me
