apparently I must have muttered something about the failings of the kid's backpack I'm using as a tool bag since my folks got me a real tool backpack! Nothing crazy, just an AWP from Lowes, but it has a bright inside and a hard shelled place for my glasses! Just imagine, now my tools aren't just a pile of pointy things in the bottom of a deep dark bag! but even better, I received some art from my eldest nephew of a Comanche. Not sure why it appears to be flying into the sun, but the details matter not.

pretty sure you win the gift contest. congrats!

usually in the Pub. It's been hard to get people to look in the regionals with any regularity so the Pub has been used to spawn local gettogethers and such. but if you'd like to take up the mantle of leader, you can feel free to make use of this space.

the radio was fixing that wheel bearing for quite a while But then it wouldn't and I was stuck with the decision to either fix the bearing or add in a couple subwoofers. I went with the bearing since that included less wiring.

what all are you working with here? what year is the fuse box from? I don't understand how you had blinkers at all without the pots unless you've got multiple years harnesses going on.

not for recovery... unless of course your version of towing is this:

whoops.

it certainly is colorful

it is oft' easier to ask forgiveness than permission. But I gotta say, if you don't want it in your life, do NOT go see it. the dang things are like puppies. next thing you know it'll be following you home.

I do believe that's the check valve for the 4x4 system?

all in all that's quite a score you've found this past week!

for just a brief moment I thought you were going with rear-steer

keep in mind that just because a part is new, doesn't mean it hasn't failed. Especially the chinesium parts available these days.

every MJ deserves a nice warm spot under a roof.

most parts ARE across the pond. But the 2.1 should never be your daily driver so waiting a few days for a part isn't really that big of a deal.

if you want to learn more about the ol' oil burners, ya gotta talk to Rob. (Automan2164) He insists parts are not impossible to find.

yup. pretty sure you don't have a rack and pinion steering.

love it! always wanted one.

buckets came in Eliminators. If you put your VIN in the registry, one of the guys that works at a dealership can get you some build specs.

that just takes a bit more steel.

if it's steel, it can be repaired.

typically that's done with wheel spacers. and if you're debating the current wrangler wheels, I believe you'll need that extra space too.
