my question stands. how can they possibly exist? it's not like they made a ton of Dynastys. I feel you won the nos parts lotto here or something.

balljoint is here, so I'll try and do that this weekend. in the meantime I built a work shelf for the tailgate. this is just a test version. I'm still trying to figure out how to properly support it underneath. the chain lock works great to prevent it from collapsing when bumped, but hardly strong enough to support any real weight. and I got a new windshield today! hoo-baby I've been wanting one of those for a while now. most all her miles have been on concrete freeways and the glass has been covered with thousands of teeny-tiny sun-catching chips for years.

how is it even possible that they still exist?

I used a stock YJ rear line on my lifted truck. plenty long enough.

that rubber line does not look long enough for full droop.

could be anything. bad door seal, failed windshield seal, failed antenna grommet, or any of the plethora of holes and gaps in the firewall. here are some I found in a recent truck repair:

plop the vin in here and lets find out! https://comancheclub.com/forum/42-other-jeep-models/

score! the Liberty wheels look good on it. are you saying you bought an XJ that came from the factory with the stickshift and 242?

now there's a fun day!

well, the junkyard rear arm was in way better shape than my rotted one, but the balljoint is still bad. new one is ordered. at 17 bucks, I should have just ordered that asap even if it didn't end up being necessary. on the plus side, I'm becoming an expert at boomerang r+r.

shelving for the rear. still working out what should go where, but I like it so far.

operation "fancy pallet 2.0" is taking shape. version 1 was made in a hurry many moons ago using plain ol 2x4s (and eventually rotted), but this time I'm using cedar and added proper tie down points. so now I have a perfectly flat roof rack for hauling lumber, from 2x4s to 4x8 sheets. (note: these pics are not the finished product) fun facts: the rails on a KJ are not parallel to each other, nor is the roof flat.

not those, I swear I remember someone created a thin piece of plastic that tightened up the pivot cup. or maybe I'm imagining it.

and my completely stock 88. this thing is a fantastic resource for answering questions (both mine and other peoples')

my torn apart 86

that's... unique.

wasn't someone printing little inserts to quiet the gates?

I went with a rebuild from an auto parts store. after discovering it refused to bleed, I swapped it out under warranty and the next one works great.

bought myself an old (2012!) dive camera. it's slow, but still takes a decent image and lets me snap shots of the kids in a whole new way. the one big issue is that, being from 2012, it only takes non-rechargeable lithium AAA batteries. you know, the expensive things. regular alkaline instantly trigger a low battery alarm. this isn't a problem for me, but becomes a bit of an expensive proposition when handing it off to an 8 year old to use and he swims around staring at the screen like it's a video game or snaps 20 images of the grate at the bottom of the pool. but it's absolutely worth every penny.

item: 1941 International harvester A-14 tractor. one owner. very low hours. only traveled 3.3 miles (vertical). ran when parked. still in remarkable shape. must pick up yourself, I cannot help (bad back and all). located aboard the USS Hornet. other primo collectables available. will not respond to "is this still available". no low ballers.
