😆. Yeah, hanging the CJ grill in the shop I got into that. I ended up getting creative and using the original holes.

Thanks for all the advice. I’m still not sure. I finally have the mechanic working on the XJ. The was the only thing I really needed fix. Now that is done, I plan on bringing it home. Not rust free and the floors are rusty. Everything is done except the engine. I have so much money into it, I will never recoup it. If I did sell it, as it was mentioned, I could get the MJ and Scrambler on the road. I should know better with juggling 4 jeeps projects. I will bring it home and mull it over. I would always dread breaking down in the XJ. She would always have something to say about it. You will have to “get rid of it.” Now that I’m out of that situation I have only me to answer. All I know is that selling it is a lot easier with it not being here with me driving it. Thanks again guys. I still have no idea on what I am doing

Thank for the link. Great pictures Pete 👍. Yeah Gonzo, they don’t look comfortable but it’s mainly a conversation piece. I have no carpentry skills, so it would be a challenge to build. I will search for a kit but I now know a blueprint is available.

Has anyone built one of these tailgate bench seat -> I have no experience creating anything out of wood. Do you think it’s possible for a guy with no woodworking skills to attempt it. I also should look into somebody who can do it for me? I would probably pay for the kit if it is being made out there

Wow! I have so many questions . Well-deserved MJOTM

Congratulations on getting MJOTM! The fender came out good

Nice! Congratulations on getting MJOTM

Help me decide if I should keep the XJ? I no longer have someone beating me up to sell it. If I keep it I’ll have 3 jeeps and the explorer. I have everything I wanted for the MJ but I would still need a paint job. Selling the Cherokee would (hopefully) give me the cash I need to finish both the Scrambler and the MJ. I don’t know. The XJ also was breaking down and I dreaded have my wife finding out about it and then telling me to get rid of it. I can’t decide on what to do?? As soon as I get it home, I can drive it as my DD and figure out its reliability.

Thank you - it is a massive relief.

The paperwork is signed. My divorce is over - just need the courts to sign off on it. I got 50/50 custody - no alimony and no more "I'm taking my son to Wisconsin" threats. Can't take my home either - (I bought the place while I was still married, so it could have been a joint asset). And all the jeeps are mine . I have to go pick up the XJ here asap. Just want him to put the door pins in and I will get it home. He said he is on it. If it makes the 4+ hours drive, I will use my AAA membership to get the Comanche towed with the one time 200-mile one time tow. I can't imagine how much that would be otherwise.

Still no MJ. The guy at the Jeep place said he was going to start working on the Jeep this week. Riiiggght - going to be three years in April. All I really need him to do is replace the door pins on the sagging drivers door of the XJ. I can’t drive it because it’s almost impossible to shut. As soon as Lisa gets her stuff out of the garage I can bring the Jeeps home. Meanwhile - put up my bikes on holders that allows to bikes to swing out to the sides saving space -> Then I hung up my fishing rod and new ladder-> Finally able to hang up the Rubbermaid fast track system->

I want one

Glad you joined

Dang! Hard to believe.

Not sure about the placement but for now it’s out of the way -> This was the best spot for the tailgate->

Welcome! You will find a lot of information here. People on here rare ready to help you along the way. Don’t hesitate asking questions.

Found some bike hangers while unpacking the garage. I figured if I hang them up above the tool box I would have the perfect spot to hang my Wagoneer grill assembly ->

Welcome - it is a good looking truck. That bumper is very nice. I have no fabrication skills, so I’m impressed!

Love the hidden winch bumper. Congratulations

What a great looking truck - congratulations on MJOTM

Congratulations on MJOTM!

The hight of the Napa boxes unintentionally worked out. They are just tall enough to fit metal shelving underneath it. I had two Husky pegboards that I mounted to the back to hold my pegboard bins. The boards are just a few inches wider than the shelf, but you can’t tell when it’s set in place -> Then I went to find a spot for the CJ hard doors to hang. It had to be stout to hold the weight. Used a section of 2x6” wood painted silver and used 4 angle brackets held up with 4 screws each. Drilled the hanger in with several screws to secure it -> It sits around 5” off the floor. If ever did fall it wouldn’t have far to fall.

Great looking MJ!

Your interior is Very nice

Got this bad boy home today ->
