I can't see your video

some of the doors on the white one are shockingly unmolested

there should be a few different writeups in the DIY section.

there should be a couple threads in the link in my sig. can't remember if they are outright r-n-r threads but they should have pics and pointers in them.

should be a few threads with info in the link in my sig

the link in my sig has a CAD-delete procedure. as jdog said, get yourself a factory cover and do the delete procedure and you'll be good to go.

that would vary wildly with the owner's experience and how many hours they can give it each day. There are guys out there that have torn apart so many Jeeps that I'd wager they could do it in a long weekend. for the rest of us mere mortals, it'll take weeks. also, you'll be swapping just about EVERYTHING from one to the other, not just motors. wiring, trans, etc.

that headlight relay upgrade is one of the best mods!

honestly that sounds more like corrosion in the cables or bad grounds than the alternator. have you run through Cruiser's Renix tips yet? should be right at the top in the DIY link in my sig. also, be sure to make a signature of your own

looks like a solid project in need of tlc. like most old Jeeps. well, certainly like my old jeeps.

spring will be here eventually

ouch!

fusible links are over by the main stater relay. (ignore the circle as I just found the image online. unless it turns out to be the correct one, then I totally meant to do it. ) they look like this: there's a link to a full digital electrical manual in the link in my signature.

I was going to post a pic of a plain hammer, but that contraption popped up in the search and I couldn't not share

nice putting an emblem on it? what about a USMC emblem?

I have one of those that was my grandfather's. I've tried to use it a couple times drilling through wood. couldn't fathom what it must have taken to go through steel. life was definitely harder back in the day.

no need to wait. my Uncle just bought me a pair of the bigger batteries for the work I did on his sister's porch. We have the trim saw, sawzall, and grinder and it was long apparent that the stock drill batteries were insufficient. keeping to one battery is almost inevitable. I say almost because between my father and me they are all 20v dewalt these days except my baby 12v dewalt. It is one of my favorite tools. It weighs very little and isn't insanely powerful like it's 20v brother and so I find I have far more control over what I'm doing. Essentially I'm kinda lazy (impatient?) and use it instead of manual screwdrivers. I own the impact driver too for times I'm avoiding bit changes.

Tech questions should really go in the Tech forum so more eyes will see them. (not everyone peruses the projects)

I love the shift knob

yeah, a coat warmer would be sweet (assuming of course that it works in real life as well as it does in my head)

I *think* the drag link is identical to ours.

new leafpacks are out there that will give you what you seek. Or you can get an AAL, but be warned that XJ AALs are frequently sold as MJ but will lift an MJ less than an XJ because we already have have more arch in our leafs. longer shackles will only give maybe a half inch. Because it only lifts one side, the height gain is only half of the extra length of the shackle (plus MJ shackles are already longer than XJ ones).

99 wouldn't be a ZJ. but it'll have the wrong bolt pattern. Liberty 8.25s are everywhere in the 'yards.

damn straight!
