It sure is! It won't stay purdy for long. Going to try to get out to Tellico this year. Won't I need to have the front lifted before the spring purches can be welded on at the correct angle? If not, I will get to work on that I guess I should get started on reading the instructions.

Happy New Year, Nah. I think it is more like the luck of the Irish :D . I am very excited about it. I just have to wait for the front 44 to be finished. I don't want to put the kit on twice, but I am not sure I can hold out :brows:

Getting closer to adding this - Rubicon Express 5.5" MJ lift. I opted for the Adj. upper and lower control arms, and the track bar brace. - Rich

I found a steel hoop popping through the back panel. I think it is for the jack arm :dunno:, am I going to need this? I just purchased a High-lift jack, so I will not be using the stock jack. I figured I shouldn't let that piece go un-used :brows: I cut out a 1'' section of left over radio mounting hardware, picked out a few SS screws and nuts, and one of the Mag-lite clips like this -> I mounted the steel behind the loop braket and secured the clip with the screws and lock nuts {the bolts line up on either side of the loop and straddle it}. If anyone thiks that the support is vital to something I am missing, I can easily remove it. It is very secure, even with the one clip. I think it looks pretty slick ->

Awesome Is the CJ part of your collection? - Rich

He can't be all that bad if he wrote "PS I love the drab olive on your MJ. Reminds me of my first MJ." :rotf: :popcorn: I don't remember having to give all my banking information when I signed up for Paypal? Am I mistaken, or can you just use a credit card? - Rich

It also took me a while to get over that fact too. After I realized that the wifes Honda had 17'' wheels stock, I knew I could get used to it. It may have something to do with size of the lock ring, but they do not have that DUB look. They do offer a 15'' in the beadlock wheels, if you are feeling adventurous :brows:

They do look better with the tires on them, thanks Wahoo ;) Thanks BLHTAZ :cheers: . You need to check out the new options for the wheels. They have anodized colored lock rings. And they offer a sweet looking black powder coated version. My wife loves the look, so it could be an easy sell to Tina :brows:

I took mine off with a staight edge razor knife. Took a bit of elbow grease, but it came off in one piece. I decided to have a professional reinstall it for 100. He said that he ws shocked that the window was removed by me! He said that 90% of the time, the average joe installer breaks the window :roll:

Thanks CW! I was getting razzed :D on another post for the wheels being too "bling, blingy." Validation! - Rich

Got A lot done this weekend . Some time back, I hit the pick-n-pull with a sawsall and cut out a good section of floor from a donor MJ. My floors had rusted out due to the windshield leak, door gasket leak, rear window seal leak . About the only thing that the body shop guy got around to doing, was welding in that scavenged floor section. Driverside before - Only picture (partial) of the white replacement floor - After - Pass. side before (notice the white powder; it was insecticide. I had a "slight" carpenter ant infestation on top of nesting rodents) - After - Today, for a McMuffin and a subway sub ;) , I got bwatsoncj to finish the seat brackets and floor . We laid out the new seat supports - Then bwatsoncj worked a little of his magic - It was an awesome job, and the seat sat perfect on the new supports - With the floor complete, I was able to start to install the new carpet I got from JC Whitney - It is starting to look good. I will have to add a bit more detail to the write-up after I get some sleep. I will post more as the project moves along. Thanks again bwatsoncj :cheers: 2/18 Got the full center console in - Just test fitting the seats - 3/22 I just came across an awesome write up on installing the full center console from 88XJSport in the DIY forum here-> http://www.comancheclub.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=9011. 88XJSport's write-up provides easy to follow instructions, with a ton of pictures . The steps involved in his installation (in an XJ) were almost identical to the installation into my 89 MJ. I recommend taking a look at it if you are considering this upgrade- Rich 6/1 I just finished the interior and everything works - right now :roll: -> I just need to figure out the wiring on the new switches for the Eaton lockers. I went with a rocker type switch instead of the push button switch provided with the kit. I also got around to tossing out my first bucket seat -> I don’t think I will need it again - Rich

I got my new Walker Evans Street wheels in a week or so ago. They are the 17x8.5 simulated bead locks - I picked up four new 33x12.5x17 Mickey Thompson Baja MTZ radials and had them mounted & balanced on Sat. - I am trying out Photobucket below - I will not know how they ride until I get the lift onto the truck. TBC- Rich

This is a DD, so I decided to get the simulated beadlock wheels. It kinda sucks, but the actual beadlock rims are also available in 15x8. As for pricing, the best deal I could find was with Dave at http://www.walkerevansracing.com/street.wheels

SW2, are these the same wheels? - They are nice looking - Rich

AARG, X2. Sorry Drahcir495, gotta agree on that. Not you :eek: , but you love chrome :hmm: . Maybe I should sell the RE 5.5 and lower the girl? I still like them :D

Thats just mean ;)

:yes: I give my wife a lot of credit, she puts up with my jeep addictions. Things seem to go a bit smoother when I get her involved in the build-up's. That, and she gets to trade in her car every three years :brows: . And congrats on the 15! Evan Evans - thats just cruel, lol. 89eliminator, they are 17x8.5 - Rich

These are the Walker Evans Street Wheels. I got the rings and bolts in today! My wife would not be happy with the title of this thread :D . I was reminded today that she was the one who decided I should get these. DansGreyMj, Do you get a friend of the family discount :brows: ? :clapping: WahooSteeler, lol :yes:

With these :D We are all sleeping in the back of the MJ tonight . I hugged the DHL driver, even though the rings were MIA. - Rich

I forgot about that picture. ;) I probably should change that to the CC build-up page. :cheers:

Not trying to Hijack but anyone got pics of the speakers in the door handles? $500 MJ, I may be getting back with you on that design 8) Watchamakalit, you need to go to CW's build up page, and often :brows: He has the complete write up, with pictures, on page 13? Try here -> http://comancheclub.com/forums/viewtopi ... &start=180 That is where I got the idea for the tweeter location - Rich

$500 MJ has a picture of them installed in his MJ. Look on the build-up thread here -> http://comancheclub.com/forums/viewtopi ... highlight= 4th page, 3rd picture down - Rich

:cheers: I don't know how I missed your build up thread, :eek: :bowdown: I caught up with it this morning! -> http://comancheclub.com/forums/viewtopi ... highlight=. LOVE your spare tire/High Lift combo carrier - Rich

Wow, :agree:

That has got to be the nicest picture of the factory console mounting bracketry I have EVER seen :brows:
