Pics are always helpful!
I've been researching Monstaliner for months. I have a kit ready to go on and good lord willing, I'll be well on my way to installing it this weekend. My girlfriend is also going to do this to her car. There are some great threads over on jeepforum about it.

Herculiner is harder to clean and more "gritty" if I understand correctly.

Nice Jeep btw! Need some bigger tires on there!

Think I'm going with Herculiner (because monstaliner won't get in soon enough) and Rustoleum on the wheels.

I wouldn't bedline wheels... they're gonna get so crazily dirty and you won't be able to clean them easily...

So Im about 99% sure I've got the 8.25 rear axle, but then again Im a noob so I thought I'd post pics and see what you guys thought. Pretty new to the whole cherokee scene and was wondering if anyone could give me the quick and dirty explanation on what the differences in the axles are and what it means.

What do you think the biggest tires I could safely run with this axle? Also not looking to trim anything right now.

Default A few more Bedliner pics

A few more up close pics of the liner, really love the grit of it and seems like it should be easy to touch up if needed later on.

Still need to get some of the tape off with a box knife, just been too cold to be outside lol.

Hey man, looking good on the bedliner.

I'm in Spring Hill, just south of Olathe and I'll be moving up to Overland Park area here soon so if you ever need some help or you want to go out wheeling or something, drop me a line man.

Looking forward to see what you're going to do with the build

Yeah you have the 8.25. You can run 35s on it if you really wanted to. The axle is plenty strong but regearing will play a huge part in power/mpgs. Build looks sweet keep it up.

So I needed a new filter and decided to use the stock box but drop a cone into it. It was pretty straight forward, all I had to do was pull the tubing in the box out and put my tubing through it. The hole in the back wasn't necessary, but I want to do the cowl intake at some point so I figured I'd cut the hole while I was in there.

Here are the pics:
