Decided to give the stock wheels a face lift...and got the wheels painted graphite this weekend (thanks for your infinite wisdom, Brad) They turned out well. Here are some summary snap-shots.

I completely forgot to upload placement of my CBRadio and Antenna. I didn't want a large whip antenna twirling all over the place, and they just don't look right on a more modern Jeep. They are O.K. on trucks... I thought this was more appropriate appearance wise.
I installed the Radio itself to the side of the middle console on the front passenger side.
Wanted to remove the air damn, but it would look funny with the bull-bar so both were removed. I like this simplistic look better although 4xguard front will be ordered here in a month.
Here is what was done to run the wiring without drilling any holes... There's a few ways you can wire it. If you pull off the rubber lip you can see that you fit some wire between the interior vinyl, and the metal itself. You can then run the wire towards the battery. Here are a few pics without tearing up too much, lol.
Update: I tossed in some new spark plugs after about 45 minutes of panic. But everythings good so far.
out with the old (i know there's only 3 pictured here, lol)
In with the new
Very nice bro very nice indeed.

Ty, even though, this is probably as far along as the WK will get... except for some larger meats next year. Efforts will be focused on the ZJ - Untill it is as feasible to mod a WK as dirt-cheap as a ZJ
It works well - there are some people who make can make me out just fine and vice versa. But, there are some who can't hear me, or I can't hear them at all - And I'm not entirely sure why. It has worked well on the trail and at the beach for the most part - It acts weird in urban areas.
Thanks, Knapp - She's come a ways - lol.
