My preferred jack is a cheap 2-ton hydraulic floor jack. I also carry a quality 4-way for the lugnuts. a very long flat head screwdriver can be used as a tire winch in a pinch, but the junkyards will have handles and lug wrenches you can use. some 'yards even have a selection of the things near the checkout.

score!!

cowboys with 10 gallon hats?

ooooo, that's a sexy li'l Jeep.

nice! as for my own update, the main garden has now given up 5 cukes and they are taaaaaaaasty. I'm super looking forward to more of them! but at this slow rate I'll likely still need to buy cukes for pickling since I need a large amount of them all at the same time. unless some sort of explosion in producing a more productive produce production occurs...

not worth the risk. but I'm happy to drop my nicest pair of taillights for 10 grand

could be armored.

this isn't a gas leak, is it?

that's very common on ebay but I kinda want to replicate this super-high advertising strategy, just for kicks

well, he definitely found a way to advertise

one of the cleanest MJs I've ever seen.

yup, that's how it should work when the hazards and brakes share the same filaments

jdog was the one that found the thread. maybe he saw that in another?

good catch! I started a thread and linked to here.

best prepare yourself. it's not what it used to be.

wow! the paint colors look great!

there's a harness connector right behind the drives rear tire that is known for corrosion issues. if one side doesn't light up for brakes orf turns or hazards, then I would check for power at that connector.

someone was indeed looking into reproductions, but if I remember right, life got in the way and the project is on hold.

the windshield is a common leak point. but yeah, the hunt for a leak can be a pain. I've had success with sprinkling baby powder around and using the garden hose to find a leak. the water will make little tracks through the powder that can be tracked back towards the source. my least favorite leak was at the top of the windshield that dribbled down inside the A-pillar and dumped out onto the floor near the carpet.

score!

honestly doesn't look all that bad.

not yet. buy the longest sawzall blade you can and cut up high above the body line. then cut the floors inside of the door plane. be mindful of underneath, as there are some braces that you might want to avoid. or at least want to be aware of so that you don't bind up the blade. a 10 or 12" blade makes quick work of it. a standard 6" blade will leave you frustrated and needing more blades.

sleep during the day. work at night.
