Agreed , however that color interior was 86 only . it's possible he changed the interior , also possible he changed the engine etc . I would investigate pretty well, that way you know what you're getting.

I'm guessing it was built in 86, and it had a 2.5 in it .

Body shims will work just as well, and most parts stores carry them in stock. However if you're looking for the factory ones, probably dealership only unless someone has some used

First of all, does anybody know who stocks these ? rough country won't be shipping them till the 27th of this month. Also , has anyone used these? They look like a good product, need to put them in my 2001 Cherokee. Only thing I noticed is that because of the heated seats that I will need to either cut them for the wire the pass through . Thanks in advance

I'm asking a $1000 lol

Also removed the aftermarket slider that was in the truck when I got it. Replaced it with a solid back window that I had. The slider was definitely leaking water into the cab.

Some more mock up for the floor pans and brace. If all goes well I will be able to start welding everything up tomorrow.

Lol

Thanks for all the replies fellas. As most of you know it sucks, especially being I left out he just got out on the 7th of march . He stole a hearse, ran out of gas and then proceeded to break into the garage of the house he stalled in front of to steal gas can to fill up to Hearse . The cops asked him if it was his and he said it was, they were in the plates and found out that was not true. Pretty sure that's what he just got out of jail for, he will never learn, Especially when there are no real consequences. He's only looking for his next score so he can get high on meth. I had cameras, but the way my neighbors yard is set up it wasn't pointed in that direction. I can promise you I'm gonna correct that though I'm going to purchase several more cameras. I'm going to buy some of those detectors that Eagle posted as well. I also put expanded metal over the windows in the garage with some really long special fasteners that don't have a standard bit that would be found in a normal tool kit. Although I'm taking these precautions I truly believe it was a isolated incident, for the people that have been at my house on the site should know what I mean. Everything is all fenced in around me and people that drive by can't see what I'm doing because their review would be obstructed by my jeeps. I'm not sure about other states, but Ohio is getting a stand your ground law in effect shortly. Which is a step in the right direction protecting you if you are protecting your property

My brothers vehicle had hail damage, he lives in the Denver area. We looked for someone willing to fix the damage and shops were backed up at least six months to a year. We couldn't find anybody that wanted to do bodywork if it wasn't insurance work. I ended up getting lucky and found a donor vehicle that was the same color and swapping the damaged parts over . good luck with your search as it will probably be a hole in the wall type of shop if you find one . I don't know how Dallas is , but that may be your best bet

I think you'd have to install a limo window to make that be possible.

Tuesday, March 9 I woke up around 5 AM to noises outside. I looked outside at my neighbors house at 122 ( I live at 126 ) and noticed a red 97-01 red Jeep Cherokee XJ in their driveway. The Cherokee had a loud exhaust, and a front off-road bumper with lights . I walked outside and noticed the individual unloading a yellow wheel barrel and a red lawnmower out of the red Jeep Cherokee . It seemed strange that the individual would've been there at 5 AM (and I also have Cherokees myself) so I had some parts outside that might possibly be worth something to him. In fear of him stealing something , there were several parts that I wanted to put in my garage. I opened up my garage doors and put those parts inside . When I put the parts inside my garage my Lincoln welder and dyna-glo heater were inside my garage . I also barricaded the front garage doors with my vehicles as added protection . The individual wheeled both the lawnmower and wheel barrel behind the garage on 122 , Then left around 5:10 AM.I left my house between 5:15 to 5:20 AM to go to work. The evening of Tuesday March 9, I returned home to find both the wheel barrel and lawnmower were gone , and no work had been done at my neighbors house. Saturday, March 13 I walked behind my garage to find my rear window had been broken out (originally thought to be due to the High winds we had days before )but several hours later I went to the garage for the first time since Tuesday, March 9 I noticed my welder and heater were missing . I knocked on the door of my neighbor (the previous owners girlfriend/ roommate he willed the house to ) at 122 to find out who is in the red Jeep Tuesday march 9th , she said his name is Frankie Howley . Frankie Howley is the stepson of the previous owner Jim at 122 , He visited there frequently when his step father owned the house and I know who he is and what he looks like .My neighbor said that he was not supposed to be over there and kicked him off her property , also saying he came back an hour later in a black Jeep and picked up the red lawnmower and yellow wheel barrel he dropped off at 5 AM Tuesday morning. When she confronted him Frankie Howley said that he didn't think anybody lived there also saying his name was "Mike ". I then called the police and filed a report. Talking to some of my neighbors, I found out that I was not the only person that was vandalized. After doing some research on Sunday march 14th we found a relative of Frankie that was friends with my neighbor. We went over to her house and asked what she knew about the theft . She said she didn't know anything, but she would get in touch with Frankie and ask him about it. We left the relatives property and I returned to my house , around noon Sunday march 14th . Five minutes after returning home, Frankie's relative and her friend had brought my Lincoln welder to my house. I asked where the heater was and they didn't have an answer for me. At the time of this statement I still have yet to receive my heater back. We found out that Frankie was at his girlfriends house on 122 N. Manchester , which is only two streets away from me . Saturday evening March 13th My dyna glo heater was for sale on Facebook marketplace, Charlie was the person that listed it and I have a screenshot of his listing. A mutual friend of mine and Charlie's messaged Charlie asking about the heater, and who he got it from. He said he was just listing it for a friend and that it was not in his possession. Charlie found out that Frankie Howley sold the dyna glo heater to another person named Frank P. , and that Frank P sold it to somebody else. When Charlie told Frank P that the welder was stolen, Frank P said that he was going to buy it back off the person he sold it to and return it to me, This was on March 14. And again at the time of this statement I have yet to have my dyna glo heater returned to me. This was the statement I gave to the police, some things have been taken out to protect certain peoples identity. If it doesn't come through clear just ask questions. At the date of this post my heater is no longer able to be had because the person that stole it said that I'm not getting it. They have also made threats to my house and myself , and those have been forwarded to the detectives. After all this the detective said that there's not enough proof to get Frankie, but they can get Frankie's aunt for returning the welder to me, because she received stolen property. The day after they told me that they could not charge anything on Frankie there was a several thefts five minutes up the road from me and they found stolen items at his Aunts house I visited with my neighbor (who was also burglarized) which leads me to believe that the aunt is not as innocent as she says she is.

They sure do . It's a long story, I may post it in up the next couple days

Making progress on the front end finally, somebody broke in my garage stole my welder, heater, and other tools. Finally playing catch-up after dealing with the cops and the thief past couple weeks. I still have the front of the frame rail to straighten out once I get my porta power back LOL.

Sorry I missed your post . No real reason, in my opinion it's kind of halfway between standard tire and a all terrain . The tires that were currently on it were shot and I needed something to put on.

This should be the photo for the listing , he must of deleted it after it sold https://m.facebook.com/pg/Daveys-Jeeps-481571022024278/posts/?ref=page_internal&mt_nav=0#!/481571022024278/photos/pcb.1499529226895114/1499528946895142/?type=3&source=49&__tn__=EH-R

If my memory serves me correctly, it was originally sold at Daveys jeeps around a year or two ago. There was some rust (reason for respray ) , and underneath the guy just shot a whole bunch of under Coating to hide the rust . I think the guy that bought it from Davey was a bodyman too ...

As Pete mentioned the top of the passenger side of the bed needs pulled in to make the gap straight on the passenger side. Also you need to check and see if there is any excessive play in the tailgate Pivots . if there is excessive play you can reduce the tolerance between the two on the drivers side and that will raise the tailgate on the driver side to match the top body line on the bed. There is a good possibility of somebody backed up into something, that when they did they bent the circle part of the tailgate pivot into a bit of an oval shape.

Do you have pictures of all the gaps?

I'm pretty sure I have that kit downstairs, if you haven't gotten any responses by the time I get home this evening I'll try to dig it out and at least take a picture of it

On a 2686 head iirc , I can look tomorrow when I get home.

I'd be interested in another SWB bed depending on condition and price. That's if I'm anywhere near your trip route ,

Automan2164 on here is the man you want to speak with. I know he's definitely close to it . even if he doesn't wanna do it he might know somebody else that will.
