what were once two, have become one (plus some scrap). now if it would stop raining, i can get to tearing apart the other side.

as overpriced as it is, I'd wager that trend will continue.

who wants to go visit a museum where you can buy any of the cars you see? I may need to put this on the trip to the AllBreeds show. https://www.classicautomall.com/

be sure to start a build thread and keep us posted on your progress.

I've got no idea what the fix is. don't know if it's simply because the old steel had deformed or what. Just wanted to put it out there for anyone thinking of making new ones.

it's very important that the handle not contact the tailgate as it's pulled. Very common to have that issue with the stock handles.

spoke too soon. after a bit of bouncing it up and down the suspension has dropped down firmly on the bumpstops. so tomorrow's plan is to get the old coils swapped on to the new shocks. no end to the fun.

the link in my sig has some threads about swapping between the various years of automatics.

nice!

very true.

passenger side is back together again. Had to use my Tetris skills to get a grinder in the engine bay down to where the rusted bolt was. that sucked. but I took the opportunity to install one of my painted Renegade flares.

seems to be currently for sale in Shreveport, LA for a lot of money

being a dealership, maybe they mean 2000 down?

ahhh. the ones I've seen had built in reverse and then the red flashed. good to know there are other options available.

the box is from my nephews' pack. Unfortunately I didn't join scouting early enough to do the derbys. But I'm planning on entering the next derby in the adults division. I'm thinking I'll make an MJ On the KJ front... I'm not a violent person, but I'd like to meet whomever designed the upper shock mounts and then punch them in the face repeatedly.

Love it is the white stripe down the middle of the brake lights a backup light? don't forget to add a grill guard to the sub. I know guys that have lost a sub from items rolling around in their Jeep.

2 grand for a perfect MJ. yup, that smells fishy to me.

tell that to the salt fairies that keep eating mine.

That seems to be a good point to wrap up on. Thanks for being civil everyone.

nope. you're touching on things that go down paths that might make others uncomfortable and with which I don't want to deal with the consequences. the joys of being in charge. Personally speaking, there are very few things I find uncomfortable in discussions. Having said that, with my particular health issues I'm not always up to any topic at any time. The brain gets slooooowwwwww and forgetful when the fatigue sets in.

I don't want to cut anyone off if there is some new point to bring up, but it would appear we're starting to go in circles so it's probably time to retire it.

the battle dejour. the shock rusted out and blew. The rust is horrific, but I already owned most all the big stuff to replace rather than try to salvage the rotted crap. Just had to buy upper arms. the struggle is real on those upper arm bolts.
