  1. I do have a few sets now. maybe 12? I don't remember but it's a very heavy box. I've sold 2 sets so far and gave one away.
  2. well, the MJ was already gone. at least I was able to bring home the bed last week. But not to worry, a CRD Liberty showed up in its place! after 5 grueling hours of work, I successfully pulled the engine/trans/t-case/harness/front-diff/front shafts/skid-plates/and more out of the Jeep still all attached to the cradle for......... a mere 300 bucks. now all I have to do is drive all the way back tomorrow with a trailer so I can actually bring it home. keep in mind, I fully expect the engine to be toast (that's how they all seem to die), but I made out like a bandit for sure. even got some 5x5 adapters and another set of tow hooks. can't have too many tow hooks. I'll get pics tomorrow once I officially have it in my possession.
  3. I doubt there's anything that new in this particular 'yard but I'll keep an eye out.
  4. or a reused Chrysler code that now means something else.
  5. bottom line is that it's important to take the printout with a grain of salt since Chrysler reused codes over the years and we will only ever get the most resent version.
  6. I'm from michigan, but I've been down here for much of this particular winter so now my body shakes even if I don't feel like I'm cold. It's super weird. But I kept my dewalt batteries inside last night and I've got faith in my impact gun's ability to make quick work of things. also it's like an hour away so I'm hoping that glorious GA sun will get things above freezing by the time I get there. But then all the steel bits on the Jeep will still be 23*... dang physics! I'm curious if the yard will be packed or empty.
  7. but it also says "CBA BENCH SEAT - STRAIGHT BK". kaidenlem, I asked because later year MJs had benches with headrests if yours did too, that would rewrite some of the history. also, you should add some basic details of your truck into your signature.
  8. does your bench have headrests? I can't help but notice "CGX-- Head Restraints-Outboard Seating"
  9. but likely a whole lot of both. So it's like the coldest day of the year here in Georgia (only 23* at 10am) but I got an email from a semi-local selfserve junkyard that they are having a half-off day today of all days. guess I'm going back to strip the rest of that MJ...
  10. always a good day when you get to park next to an MJ
  11. seems like an email to Bilstein would clear this up.
  12. it's in the emoticons. I also like this little guy:
  13. you forgot your

    Inspiration

    defintiely an aftermarket bar. looks like it was for a fullsize truck too. that's a super sweet pic!
  15. yup, you should do a build thread. unless you have already, in which case you should link it in your sig.
  16. I'd totally drive one given 2 circumstances occur: -they bring out a decent diesel engine (should be happening soon) -someone buys it for me (not likely to happen soon) I'd throw a small camper in the bed and then use it to haul my MJs to car shows and trails.
  17. have you started a build thread for the truck yet?

    Get Winter Tires!

    interesting! Mine always felt like I was a sports car, even in the rain. I guess it makes sense that they aren't all exactly the same just because they say snow tire on them.
  19. very nice! feel free to do a writeup for the DIY forum
  20. so glad it wasn't a leak!

    Get Winter Tires!

    snow tires are year round too. I ran a set on my old van for like 3 years straight. the mileage you get out of them won't be anywhere near a regular tire of course (I got almost 20k before I sold the van). they are a soft compound for sure.
  22. I've seen plenty of guys that adapted in a child seat too.
