interesting. I can't. I just see words like "Image may contain: Car". Facebook doesn't like to share stuff. I'm sure it cuts into their millions of dollars of profit. for important things, it's better to save the images and then upload them to CC. plus that way we get to keep a copy.

check your entry in the registry

out of curiosity, can you see the images you inserted? I only see words.

I edited the list just a bit. we're still working on getting more accuracy (chrysler reuses codes for newer cars sometimes). Eventually we might know it all.

it's a junkyard part. can't be that much money to grab some shafts.

it's like an omelette, but better!

sure looks like a solid kit but posting that Q in Tech will get more eyeballs for more opinions.

ahh, that brings back memories... looks like you guys had a blast

honestly that sounds like a great opportunity to complete the upgrade

I'm going to leave the question mark in the title for now

define "direct"? if you're looking for no efforts short of unbolting it from the floor, only MJ seats will do that. If you're looking for seats that look factory and tilt forward so you can access behind them, 2door 84-94 XJ seats do that (avoiding the curved slider ones because those raise you up a couple inches over stock). you'll still need to swap floor brackets, but that's pretty easy. If you're simply looking for something comfortable that fits the space and you don't mind fabbing up an adapter made from 1x1 tube between the new seats and the old floor brackets (frequently this only entails cutting to length and drilling holes for bolts), then the junkyard is your oyster. wander around until you find a set that your butt likes and get them. most any bucket seat will fit. and 2-door car seats usually tilt forward.

yeah, it should have holes or gaps in it already. doesn't have to be big ones, but they should be there. if not, I'd consider that tank a defect.

holy crap that thing is clean!! seems almost wrong to call it a donor. but some must die so that others can live.

fixed it.

yeah, that would definitely be the priority. lookin' good!

accent with some red on the doors?

I am curious as to what an offset front mount would look like.

It's still pulling your front bushings away from each other in the same manner. it appears that shackle bushings just seem to go bad first.

everyone is updating their build threads too, yes?

I guess sometimes ya gotta go for the low hanging fruit so you can take off early for the weekend.

yes? I mean I can do that, but I'm still trying to figure out the best way to go about all of this since I've been cleaning up the obvious errors this whole time and so now I'm in a bit of a hole for using the auto correct feature. Could been super eay and smart from the start, but now I've made a ton of extra work for myself to get things corrected.

is the backside legible? what does it say MWB means?

also, you need to post that up in the registry forum.

and a lot of codes for the early years are simply no longer appear in the computer. a normal build sheet is quite extensive. "MWB-Off Road Truck Tailgate" that's a new one. I wonder what MWB used to mean?

I want to say that's Don's handiwork. yup, it's only 3/4" per side and while that doesn't seem like much (you can force it with a crowbar), it's more than enough that one shackle inevitably wins over the other and ruins both of them in the process.
