Glad someone here is snagging that top. It looks like a good one at a good price.

On the subject of how much glass is in both, the CR Laurence does have more glass. Presumable because the glass doesn't have to fit into the recess. It also has a much larger opening. Side to side measurements are edge of glass to edge of glass.

Got my Core4x4 control arms installed yesterday. You can see the brake lines that desperately need replaced. I've already bought YJ lines for the front and a Dakota line for the rear which should be enough for the lift I want. You can also see the dentless doors without tow mirror holes I'll swap on hopefully soon. The control arms are made well. Heavy duty for my needs. Welds look nice and hot. The threads were taped off very well for powder coating. They adjusted well and installed with very little issue. However truck fell of the jack stands while trying to get the last bolt to line up. I was using the jack to slightly pivot the axle and it slowly started to crash over to the pass side. I think the fact I didn't put my usual 2x6 footer under the stand and all the rain we've gotten let the stand dig in and shift. Luckily I wasn't under the truck cause the axle landed fully on the ground. No harm to me, the truck, or any tools happened so... Also traced down two horrible sounds. The scraping I had was all the driver brake shoe adjuster hardware banging around in the drum. Somehow all of the hardware just came loose and was chillin in the drum. Picked up a new kit and bada bing no horrible scraping. The loud clanging was the clutch inspection plate only being held on with 1 loose bolt.

Damn this is awesome

I've known guys that have bought Jeeps from this place. Overpriced trying to sucker in dumb kids that just got to App State and "need a 4wd."

That's exactly what I thought of when I took the picture. Honestly I got super lucky finding the brush guard. Guy selling it was only a 2 hour drive and the truck it came off of was kept in a garage essentially since new.

Most assuredly. Yesterday I swapped the headlight harness with the one I got at a JY that has the fog lights built in. At some point the main connector seems to have over heated or been pressed up against the headlight or something. Had to de-pin the connector and use a good one off a spare harness I had. Replaced the turn and marker bulbs while I was at it. The ROL lights I had on the truck where also a junkyard find so they weren't in fantastic condition. However I had a set of Hella 500s in decent nick that have been hanging out in the shed for a few years, so I swapped the ROLs for the Hellas. Didn't manage to get a daytime photo but snagged this really cool night shot.

Looks to be a MJ specific Snugtop on CL. https://knoxville.craigslist.org/pts/d/la-follette-pickup-truck-cap/7221886522.html

10/11/20: Drove to WV to pick up this high rise cap so I'll have more room. And that brings us to now. Recently my s/o of 8 years and I split, so my plans for most things have changed. My eventual plans for the truck are a 1.9 TDI with an AX15, 231, 3" lift with metric ton springs, 31's and 4.10's (which I already have). We'll see how quickly this will happen. The more immediate plans are getting ready for a road trip to Colorado in late April next year. I'm turning 30, will be single, and have always wanted to travel out West. I have a job where I get 3 weeks of paid vacay a year so I can afford to take an 11 day trip. I ordered some Core4x4 control arms last night as he needs new ones and I plan on lifting. I'd like to swap in a 24 gal tank before the trip but I'll play that by ear. Other than that it's banking on the 2.8 not grenading.

Bored on a Sunday afternoon and figured I should finally start a thread for my truck. Some may remember I was working on my grandfathers 86 XLS a few years ago. Multiple factors led me to abandon that as project but soon that will be made into a trailer. With abandoning that truck I wanted another MJ. I found myself an 86 Custom, 4wd, 5spd, with a 2.8 and a clean title at the beginning of last October. This is how he arrived to me on 10/5/19: 10/12/19: Drove out to meet @Blaine.D and bought a camper top off him as the truck will eventually be a camping truck. 10/19-20/20: Replaced the idiot light cluster with the 3/4 cluster out of my grandfathers truck, fixed some very botched interior wiring, replaced 2 fusible links, and swapped the bench for the buckets I had. 10/23/19: Made new battery cables and grounds out of 0ga and used marine terminals on the battery. Also stripped the header panel and fenders so I could swap on the semi-straight ones I had. 10/26/19: Changed what appeared to be the original air and fuel filter, swapped oil and coolant sensors for the 3/4 cluster, installed Cadillac 4-note horns, installed my decent fenders and tow hook style bumper brackets. 11/1/20: Replaced headlights with brighter Sylvania's 11/9/19: Removed the heater vacuum valve, replaced bad rad cap, installed metal vent visors 11/16/20: Took a trip to the mountains. 12/7/19: Replaced corner light and turn signal housings with good used, swapped trim and swapped in chrome 10 slot grill 12/26/19: Swapped shocks for Gabriel Guardians I had lying around for forever. Installed headlight relay harness. 12/28/19: Cut the rot and expanding foam out of the driver floor. Temporarily used some sheet metal until I can weld in new floors. 12/20/19: Bought a Brahma topper off Facebook cause price was right and I didn't have to repair fiberglass cracks like the other topper. Between then and March I just kept driving it, straightened the back bumper as best I could, installed a tach, and bought some YJ gamblers. Also installed Belltech 6400 shackles and V8 ZJ coils with an extra isolator bringing the truck 1.5" front and 1" rear over stock. 3/7/20: Bought an OE grill guard off a guy on FB. 3/31/20: Bought a set of 235/75r15 Falken AT3W's and had them installed on the Gamblers. Replaced the belts. 4/10/20: Replaced the original radiator and hoses with new hoses and good rad from the parts truck. Also put on new heater hoses and super flushed the system. 6/9/20: Replaced all steering with new V8 ZJ Moog components. Replaced track bar with stock Moog replacement. Replaced badly leaking steering box with good used off the parts truck and a JCR brace. Did a pretty decent home alignment. 7/1/20: Replaced rear driveshaft u-joints. Removed front DS until I can rebuild it. 7/6/20: Scored headlight harness with fog light wiring, rear speakers, cab vents, window trim, and an OE slider from a JY truck. 8/26/20: Drove 45 miles one way to work and heard a snap upon entering the lot. Turns out 2 lug nuts were just completely missing and the rest had backed off. The snap was either one or two of the remaining studs just snapping off. DOH!!! 9/4/20: Replaced the studs and swapped all the lug nuts on the truck with new. Turns out the brakes are original too 9/20/20: Bought 5 more gamblers and had a good one swapped for the one I jacked up. 10/1-3/20: Built a camping platform with the help of a co-worker and the amazing woodworking shop we have. Frame is just pressure treated 2x4s, top is 3/4 OSB with about 7 coats of poly. The drawer was made with the cut off from the OSB. Simple fork mount for my mountain bike so I can lock it up. Hopefully it's less likely to be stolen if they have to get into the topper.

Oh and skid plates on both lol

1. 86 XLS Metric ton turbo diesel, charcoal metallic paint, non-towing mirrors, chrome trim, A/C, smokers windows, RX135 radio, Honey interior with the sorta plaid buckets. 4x4 5spd, 24 gallon tank, brush guard, hidden winch, fog lights, slider window, and a camper top. So essentially my build plan... 2. 90 Red Chief, swb, 4x4, 4.0, 5spd, tan buckets, winch, slider, smokers windows, tow mirrors.

No worries. I just didn't want someone to make a trip for a AMC 20 and find a 35

Does not have an AMC 20.

Here's another one. Looks like the one on the last page claimed to be an ARE.

It's also listed in San Francisco https://sfbay.craigslist.org/sfc/for/d/san-francisco-jeep-wrangler/7192283094.html

Of course a deal like this shows up on a thin wallet month...

If you're taking orders I would love those seat covers if they aren't too torn up, and eagle doesn't want them first. Mine are the same color and ripped to shreds.

Love me a good garage eagle

I've got 235/75 Wildpeak AT3W's on my 5speed 2.8 and it's not horrible. It's also 1.5" in the front and 1" in the rear. The total lift cost was like $80 I think.

One of my co-workers had all her free tows with AAA that she let me use one of, which was awesome. Glad it didn't let go at 55-60.

Drove the Comanche to work today, which rarely happens cause it's a 50 mile drive and the Comanche doesn't like the highway. Anyway, I make the turn into the parking lot and it starts making an awful noise. I thought the D35 or the t-case finally bit the bullet. I pull in a spot and check the truck and apparently I had lost 2 lug nuts long ago as the studs were rusted, and 2 of the remaining studs had snapped. I think the studs snapped on the turn into the parking lot. The last was only 2 full turns on. I think I'm gonna have to replace the wheel as well as the holes got rounded out a bit. Luckily I've been just sitting and waiting on throwing in the 4.10 axles I have from the parts truck. This gives me a reason to. Anyways go check your lug nuts if you can't recall exactly the last time you did.

Hope someone snapped up the topper.

Yeah.
