they'd be the shiniest thing on my truck.

gotta hit the right day somehow. I got a text about this one ahead of time. never got one before and never for any of the other 2 yards.

still waiting on the durango being delivered before I can even contemplate more trips. but hey, if it gets here soon, who knows!

at a dealership in FL for $14k

which yard?

yup. one of the Gray-and-White yards. apparently they rotate the party around their 3 yards. last month was Stockbridge's turn.

my 86 mj was a 207 and had a cad. but early years were a bit nutso.

did you re-balance the flywheel or use an S-10 one?

you can use anything you want as long as it doesn't have the sulfur compounds.

a full cluster will go right in. I do hope no one swapped in a cluster with lower mileage to be sneaky. your full build sheet is actually much longer, but a ton of info was lost in (apparently) a basement flood before the records were entered into Chrysler's computers. if you look at a 90s MJ sheet you'll see what I mean. some of the 86s got super screwed and only get a return of 4 or 5 things.

2" pucks, 2" chevy drop shackles, 31" tires, new shocks... done.

yeah, that.

If I remember right, ours runs off the trailer's battery, which gets charged through the 7pin.

done

sweet piece of tech! never heard of a laser alignment tool

that's a heck of a gamble! glad it paid off

sexy

pretty sure they would have a lock on the inside like normal bathrooms. but there is so much choice in floorplans out there that irritants are easily avoided. the best plan s to do some basic research on the internet, and then experience the floorplans first hand. then go back to the internet to re-research with your new found opinions.

you should have seen what some of the other guys were carrying!

I learned a lot from this experience (like that duct tape doesn't stick directly to airbags, and having a small pad on your shoulders makes a world of difference when the seatbelts are cutting into your sunburn) and if I hadn't found that KJ or I had resisted the tailgate I then would have been able to carry way more plastic things. next time I will be more prepared. KJ stuff: full skids/hooks from including rocker guards evic display 94 XJ stuff: center console top gauges TB computer power antenna ash tray random knickknacks fenders front fascia PT Cruiser stuff: 2 radios (need one that has a good AUX port and figured why not have 2 shots at it ) center dash trim fog light set (lights, trim bits, switch) headlight taillight Ford Courier tailgate WJ t-case skid hooks

it's definitely a personal choice. but it has a purpose for other folks. that's so any friends/family you have over to your campfire can use the bathroom without walking through your bedroom first. or for coming in dirty and wet from swimming or hiking and have a legit changing room (with a shower no less) without having to walk through your bedroom first. in our little trailer I can touch the bed while standing outside on the step at the door. it's right there.

do you at least get an employee discount?

they look factory!

I had a blast! for 75 bucks I got 4 towhooks, 3 skidplates, a Ford Courier tailgate, an xj front fascia and fenders, PT headlight and taillight, 2 radios, a computer, foglights, overhead console, and a bunch more stuff. but the best part was watching other guys walk the 60ft. 2 had an engine supported by seatbelts and a driveshaft, a couple more had a bedliner absolutely filled with stuff, more than one guy carried 4 tires by himself. there was no end to the creativity of how to use seatbelts and blown airbags to accomplish the goal of saving money at the possible expense of your back. that's my pile in the back of a golfcart with the airbags on the floor. took a while to figure out how to arrange it and secure it with ducttape and seatbelts. I'll take more pics and tally up what all I got tomorrow.
