What made you go with bed tred instead of bed rug

I like the rhino lining look/feel over carpet so I went with that instead. Plus it's easier to wipe out.

Been so long I almost could not find my own build thread! 
So I am finally going to get a few bigger mods done at the end of the month.
5.13s - yeah I know I have a D30 but only running 35s and will keep it open
ARB rear locker
ARB compressor under hood mount
C-gussets
Daystar/rugged ridge a pillar switch pod (still haven't decided)
EDIT: Crown HD ball joints - forget to mention these. not going to get synergy or pro steer now until I upgrade to a PR44
And I might have enough left over for some truck lites or a new exhaust but thinking truck lites for now.
Gonna feel good to get rid of the 3.21s.
Now I just need to make time to cut my fenders.

Why do you want 5.13's with only 35" tires? Are you planning for the future with that?

I think you'll be happy with the 5.13's. Knowing I was going to 37's one day and a PR up front, I went with 5.13 in my Dana 30 so I wouldn't have to regear twice. I've wheeled my 30 with 35in tires and said gears (open diff and c gussets) and haven't had a problem with them. With that being said, I tend to use more strategy than throttle to wheel. You'll be happy with them and let's face it, we never stop building our jeeps so you'll want 37's one day. Nice build and keep it up. Cheers!

My guess is between the 3.8 and living in the mountains, he wants the extra RPM. I know Cozdude is running 5.13's and 35's and likes that combo.

Yeah. I ultimately will be running 37s so instead of getting 4.88s now and redoing everything down the road I figured why not get the 5.13s now....

This is very true as well.....Living in Colorado the 5.13s will help out nicely.

Yeah the PR upfront will be a year out but that is also why I will stick to 35s for now. On a D30 you can get away with it a little more and having the locker will allow me to be lighter on the throttle versus having to bounce it up. And yes the building will never stop.....

Oh okay. That makes sense then. I didn't know you only had the 3.8 so that will help out a lot then.

Picked up RHINO today from Northridge! Man gears make such a big difference.....Even though I could not go above 65/70 I have never had so much response in the throttle before. 5.13s are so nice.
ARB locker and compressor are done as well. Will post up picks of in a bit. And I knew I was forgetting something and left out the ARB inflator kit but will pick that up when I change the gear oil.
Learned that my steering stabilizing is leaking so I will probably upgrade that before my next trip......but other than that, nice to have RHINO back.
