what on earth? is this a movie prop?

in the Epic Tech subforum you'll see "Comanche Dawn". he installed a later model bed light.

you don't necessarily need to hunt down the MJ light, other trucks' lights will work too. and any truck after the early 90s will have integrated 3rd brake lights so you can wire up both if you were so inclined.

I trained our cat to not freak out when I pick her up and flip her upside down for a belly rub. does that count? She was a feral for the first year of her life so it took years to get to that stage of trust. plus I've got a 75% success rate on calling her to me. She knows she's getting a back rub. But then she has us trained too and knows who/when to go to during the course of the day for some pettin' or playin'. for example, every evening she'll walk to my room, meow, and then run back to the living room and wait for me to come grab a string and play. My buddy's black cat fetches little toys you throw.

well, these are what I have. certainly better than yours, but it depends on what your plan is before I could say they were worthwhile. I say you should experiment with yours to see what works best for a restoration. maybe they will turn out good enough. remove the rust, seal the rust, paint with a chrome paint and BAM, you can see better at night. maybe.

can you share a pic of how bad they are?

just custom bumper mounts. a longed is 6" longer in front and 6" longer behind the rear tire.

how bad are they? are they rotted out or just rusty? I've got a spare set on that fascia I'm going to display, but they are also rusty.

our cat did the same thing when she was young. always had to keep tabs on me and stick her nose in my work. I'd never had a cat that acted so much like a dog.

thankfully it's already up on the youtube so I don't have to even think about that.

I've got 2. problem is I don't know which is an early KJ and which is a late KJ since mine is a diesel KJ. I'll dig them out later and measure the bolt dimensions. do you have the other skids?

they aren't that bad. they are just work lights with a wide beam to illuminate around the jeep for turning on dark country roads.

oh, and the front lights work again!!

I'm under this thing so often I'm not sure I could miss it the knock turned out to be a loose rim (the one I removed to fix the dust shield apparently didn't get retightened with the lug wrench), and the AC works again (though I'm not sure if me messing around in the dash fixed it or if it's intermittent, only time will tell). and the weird stain on the junkyard hood is gone! I hit it with some rubbing compound and it has disappeared like magic. poof! Didn't take out the stone chips or hail damage though.

no one wants a repair book to stash in the truck?

seems someone didn't strap those down quite well enough. that's going to be an interesting conversation when he gets to his destination...

lookin' good! just keep it away from the salt.

lots of negativity in the world right now so I thought I'd share that I watched a hummingbird taking a shower in my sprinkler today. He would follow the spray across the yard and then fly to a branch to shake and preen. Then do it all over again. and as I was watching that, I noticed this little guy hiding in the top of the hummingbird feeder for the day.

drove in to town today. nothing fell off, but the AC wouldn't work, there's a humming noise at speed that changes pitch when the suspension flexes (guessing front shafts because the operating angle has changed) and in the last 1/4 mile at 25mph I heard a loud thwack-thwack-thwack-thwack noise (once per tire revolution). oh, and I can't hear the subwoofer at all with that tiny amp. 2 steps forward, one step back. but when accelerating from a stop she's MUCH better with those 4.10s

this meme seemed fitting for the topic at hand

it's what happens when you get 4banger diesel miles per gallon, but have a v6-sized fuel tank
