I like what you have done in making a ZAV. I have some similar plans to make mine similar in some ways. But I will not be lifting mine, I like having some decent mpgs.

I would recommend Monstaliner. There is a vendor thread on here I believe as well as jeep forum. I just bought 2 gallons of it and intend to use it on my floor, new fender flares, lower half of my doors and quarters. I keep hearing nothing but great stuff.
www.monstaliner.com

Depends on your budget. My little can of roll on Herculiner only cost me $30.

I bought the Herculiner do it yourself kit, it had 1gallon of bedliner, 2 rollers and a paint brush for the corners and stuff. It cost $99.00 over here in hawaii and I did 2 coats on the floor and had enough left over to do the inside of the fender wells and the rest of the under carriage!

This got me thinking about setups for the back of mine. I have so many ideas my brain feels like it could explode. First things first, need to relocate the spare. While I was brain storming I wanted to see if my BB gun would be mountable in the hatch area:



Not too bad of a fit. I'll keep that open as an option.
HaHa bro I like that your trying to make your own flik, but im in the army and use way better gear then that! I'd advise you find a military surplus store with relatively new-ish gear.

Nothing wrong with what he has put together, staying on a budget, and yes Im sure the army has way better gear than that (Ihope) but he is paying for it, not the tax payer so "your" gear that you have you didn't have to pay for, I'm just saying, no need to dog on the guy. Plus if the gear works for you and what you need it to accomplish your goal or mission then your good, no need to go buy all "new" gear from a surplus store...U.S. Marine for twelve years.

My "build" wont be quite so obvious...but i do want do some minor things like the Jerry cans, some type of liner for my undercarriage and stuff and a bug out box for the trunk. then maybe some touch up paint and body work. Im new to the whole jeep thing and I love my truck. Ive got to start off slow.

I wonder if Zombies can break windows...Maybe some wire mesh over them to keep the undead out would be a future step?

So now that you have had the lift on for a while how do you like, are you glad you went the route you did that is pretty much what I am thinking of doing a 3" RC I also want to be able to drive it on the highway for some shooting matches I go to. Hows the highway ride with it. Im looking at going with 31s also.

It's all good. Most of my stuff was free from my brother. He gave me his older stuff now that he has legit Marine gear.

That is probably not a bad suggestion. Lol

I love it. Perfect for what I needed at a great price. Keep in mind I'm under 2k cash into this Jeep total.
