Good looking job. I'm going to have to do something similar to my wife's XJ, soon.
On the pop rivets: Those suckers are going to attract corrosion, but the good news, is that they'll be sacrificial, and just need drilled out in a few years and replaced, so who cares? Unless they're steel. A good way to avoid the steel eating the rivets, is to dip them in some kind of primer to keep the aluminum rivet from touching the steel floor plate directly.
The rocker plates look cool. I think a guy should be able to roll his own, like you did your rear quarters, by rigging up a 2x4 metal brake. My wife has rocker rust, and that's what I'm going to try.
So... How you like the Stryker? I bet you a dollar you can guess where my internet "handle" came from. Memories of cruising the E-town mall come flooding back.....

E-town mall what a joke lol. The Stryker now has a 105mm so it is getting beefier. When were you stationed in Knox.

I love what you did with the bedliner inside and out. How's it holding up? Any way you could post a close up picture so I can see how the texture looks?
Thanks,
