True that.
It has been far too long since I have had my own Jeep to tinker with and to drive. It would be nice if I had more than 30 minutes once a week to work on it though.

I would carpet everything if I were you. Also don't forget to measure for the carpet. I believe the stuff I used at Home Depot added an extra 3/4 to 1 full inch on mine. You don't want to have to cut after you installed the carpet, it's a bitch, I've done it. Lol

Damn that's turning out pretty good! It's gonna be nice once it's done.

Yep, I thought about that. I am considering carpeting everything but the top with subwoofer carpet because it isn't thick. I am also considering using laminate sheets.

Yep. That is what MTG used on his deck and it is a great match to the factory carpet. He had some extra and gave it to me (thanks MTG:beer
. I plan on using it for the top of the deck for sure.

I bought mine at Home Depot and it was an exact match.
And you Re way to picky to use laminate.

I see you purchased Tank here locally at Lithia Jeep. Did you get a fair price with them or was it a hassle? I am getting ready to drive up to Idaho and would love to save a trip, but did not want to play any games next year with Lithia. Other forums have explained they can be difficult.
Any advise?
Meanwhile, it is great watching your build. Thank you for sharing.

I'm going with carpet. The stuff MTG gave me is almost an exact match and it isn't too thick. I just picked up another roll today so I could start the sides.

It took some work, and it is the second JKUR I have bought from there. I put them in a bidding war with a dealership in CA but ultimately they gave me a very good price. Oh, and I ordered it exactly how I wanted rather than buying off the lot.

I think this is my move next time. Ole Red came down to 2 dealerships. 2 2010 Ruby Saharas, one soft top & one hard. The hard top had more miles. It was in close in value, but I think going at these guys with a build sheet instead gives the buyer more power & leverage than trying to compare in stock.

Had some time so I carpeted the supporting structure. I think the Walmart carpet is a great match.
I'm going to get a new support bar that goes all the way across (not sure yet if I will paint it black or leave it raw).
Then, it's time to paint the deck to seal the wood, install it, and carpet the top. It's been slow going, but I'm almost done.
