  1. that one is just a JK though.
  2. those are all about the looks.
  3. because the 4dr pickup is just about the best selling vehicle out and the regular cab truck is about the worst. they are selling all the gladiators they can make. meanwhile designing and building a new variant would cost cash upfront plus take up a space on the line for a better selling, more profitable version. especially given 2020's challenges I'd say it'd be a miracle to see a 2dr/longer bed Jeep truck being made.
  4. just when you thought Jeep couldn't make our lives any harder...
  5. love it! for sure you'll never lose it in a parking lot
  6. car-part.com is where I would start hunting. be picky about the axle you choose. this is an investment in your future time and (lack of) headaches.
  7. indeed. just had a filling pop out. at least I can still blame that on 2020.
  8. explode! BOOM!!!
  9. I can't view it even if I click the link
  10. most all my memories are no longer in my head. brain swelling sucks. but I do like to collect things that remind me of the past. helps me hang on to what I do have left upstairs.
  11. must be it. for me it's a big meh. I've simplified my life so much that it's not a huge deal breaker. but there are a ton of 18+ people out there that are entirely dependent on their family for survival and not only do they get nothing, the people supporting them get nothing more. I've got family (2nd cousin?) on my mom's side that are taking care of their down-syndrome kid who's in her 30s. their life is... challenging, to say the least. and both this bill and the last purposely leave out adults who are filed as a dependent in their taxes by someone else. not accidentally... purposely. as in it's spelled out in black and white.
  12. I've been written out of another stimulus bill, so whatever.
  13. now THAT is interesting.
  14. dang! the truck fought back!
  15. dang, you've been busy! I used a similar design of LED in my cluster and ended up blacking out the top LEDs to cut down the brightness.
  16. if you're doing a bench, it'll forever be compared to Raybuck, so keep that in mind when thinking about pricing or specific offerings of colors/textures/etc. unless Raybuck doesn't make covers for the straight edge benches, in which case you'll be compared to local upholstery shops.
  17. welcome to the addiction -ACC makes new carpet (they are the only manufacturer and all others are resellers so just find the best price and run with it). it fits... ok. be prepared to spend some time with it and be sure to request there be no trans tunnel cutouts. I believe there's an install writeup in the DIY forum? if not, there really should be. -raybuck makes new covers for the bench seats but I'm not sure if they make them for the straight front edge ones (as opposed to the ones that have a notch in the middle for the floor shifter). you'll want to talk to them. or find a local upholstery place. -be sure to read through this thread if you haven't already:
  18. the tar-like substance is supposed to be there. though it could stand to be cleaned and reapplied.
  19. if it's rubbing on the flares, a small spacer lift should alleviate it.
  20. where do they rub?
  21. those are '06 TJ Rubicon rims. I've got a pair of 06s on my trailer and a set of 05s on my Liberty. best rim ever! 8" wide and with just a bit less backspacing so the tires push out a smidge.
  22. welcome to the world of old trucks. thank goodness the XJ sold so well or we'd be pretty screwed.
  23. yes, just start a new topic in the appropriate year and put the VIN as the title.

    that junkyard was one of the worst though. each individual thing you want has a 35 dollar minimum charge, sooooo I got a bed and a cluster and that's it. and I only grabbed the cluster because it's a full cluster for a 4 banger.
