what about those mobile media blasters? should strip it allllllll off

holy cow what a train wreck the PO left for you. I'm not a painter (beyond rattle-can) so I'll avoid that aspect, but I can tell you that pioneer decals exist in the aftermarket. how good does this need to look in the end?

every possible entry point should be a suspect. windshield seal, door seal, hvac seal, rear window, cowl drain, etc. they have all leaked for someone at some time and once it's under the carpet, it can't escape.

the best part of Moab is the variety of trails. there are trails that you can take a 2wd truck on! heck, there was a crown vic on the one trail when I was there. the scenery is awesome, the traction is phenomenal and it's something everyone should do at least once, even if that means flying in and renting a jeep. (there are companies out there that do organized trail runs in their wranglers)

I've been giving thought to a similar framework for my MJ trailer. a bit shorter though since I don't have a cab to clear.

any updates?

I hate it when a Jeep disappears from the yard. It's like if a waiter swiped your food before you got to finish it. "hey! I wasn't done with that yet!"

have you had the chance to install the throttle body yet?

the very first thing I did when I bought my new truck was gut the interior to get the wet carpet out. the parking brake cable runs under the carpet in that moisture.

I was thinking we should have a spot that brings all those scattered threads together. What topics do you think someone new to MJs or simply new to CC should read? I'll start off with the 2 I usually bring forth: The DIY project master list: The "most important tips" thread:

a full cluster swap will give you a real gauge.

have you pull back the carpet to check for moisture underneath yet?

Thompson’s in Fountain Inn, SC I was hoping to get out that way in the next few days. I really want a door off of it. Gotta finish fixing the Dakota first though.

from Sweden:

there's a junkyard in north SC that has a longbed in it that looked intact (but very dirty). Haven't seen it in person though. edit: found a pic

I miss Moab. it sure was a lot of fun the 4.0 does a great job of powering normal Jeeps on normal tires through normal offroading. but yes, torque is king and modern v8s have more.

that's the stuff

never mind... what? you're not allowed to bring up a pin thread without saying why!

I want to say it was a flat bar that went across the tire. but it's been awhile.

and bring those tools with you when you eventually come help me with the wiring

seems that way
