awesome! do make sure it's properly insured.

yes. the corners won't quite line up, but you can sand down the front facia and fill it with bondo to make it right like in this pic:

installing new arms is way easier than new bushings if you think you can tackle that. I'd just skip that one upper bushing in the diff as you aren't likely to notice it. lower arms are by far the biggest impact on handling.

my uncle lined the walls of his drum room with covers.

excellent vinyl choice

that describes most of the ornaments on my tree.

poor caulking too. I'm a bit shocked that ever got sent out.

which technique did you use for finding vacuum leaks? I've found sometimes propane works better but other times carb cleaner works better.

super looking forward to this build. (side note, we've been having random issues with upside down photos but it has to do with how orientation code is saved in different systems and thus beyond our software. I've found that if I alter the pic at all in my laptop and save, it'll load properly if you're using a phone it's more complicated than i can fix them for you as needed.)

best name ever

tested all sensors? tested for vacuum leaks?

I do believe that driver and pass lower seat fabrics/padding can be swapped with minimal efforts. :)

yup, if I could only have 2 Jeeps, those would be them.

nice!

is this the start of the decor, or are you just doing the front?

seems like the new heated shop is a great place to get that axle seal taken care of during winter

does the exhaust itself smell of gas at all?

any evidence of fuel leaking out the fuel pump location?

how rusty is the truck? is you charcoal system intact? how's your fuel economy looking? 4.0 or 2.5? you should put some basic info on your truck in your signature.

is that why our windows leak so frequently?

if it's antifreeze, it'll smell like antifreeze. if it's gas, it'll smell like gas. if it's condensate water, it won't really smell like anything.

I dropped your Q into Tech so more eyes will see it.

honestly I don't think it needs to be rechromed, just straightened, hammered, and polished. it may not be perfection, but it'll be very nice.

check for vacuum leaks (especially intake manifold) and test all the sensors. the link in my sig should have the procedures.
