PM'd Steve last week with my order. Received a PM from him today that the headliner is done and will be shipped tomorrow! Great turn around and service! Thanks Steve!!!!

Interior coming along, new rubber floor mat, bench seat, trim pieces in. New radio is almost done, wired it up was ready to button dash back up then speakers stopped working intermittently, thanks to the PO for the previous rats nest of wiring. Will be fixing that in the AM, then off to have the new tires installed. Next on the list is new tail pipe and finish the trim pieces that are in the garage along with new steering stabilizer and coil spacers. Going to be a busy Sunday!

Well garage is full of interior pieces and tires...Brown Santa came in September. Also scored a set of Canyons off Craigslist for $100, an hour of elbow grease and they are not perfect but more than presentable. another 30 mins and they are on the truck. Stopped by the Advanced Auto on the way home and picked up a inexpensive AM/FM/CD unit to go into the dash. If the weather cooperates this weekend I may be able to get it on the road next week.

Well silver dollar turned into about a ten dollar bill worth. No worries though, got it all prepped, applied rust treatment and 8 layers of fiberglass woven mat (guess those years in the Coast Guard as a Boatswain Mate working on fiberglass and steel boat hulls did pay off). Now waiting on several part and pieces to come in; 30/9.50r15 General Grabber AT2's, outside door window sweepers, headliner from Steve, 1.75 front coil spacers, drivers side cab vent trim, steering stabilizer, headlamp trim, dash cover, marker-light cover and a muffler hanger. The little 2.5L also got a fresh oil change in preparation for putting it on the road as my DD.

Just bought a 1989 2wd 2.5 manual (sport truck I think) with 114K orginial miles got it home on maypops last night. Truck is mechanically solid and I have only found one rust thru about the size of a silver dollar in the drivers floor board (almost unheard of for a truck that has been in Florida since 1993). Bonus is I found the orginial owners manual and warranty book in the glove compartment along with vehicle registration dating back to 1992. SCORE!!! Couple of pic's from the day I picked it up. Keep going to the last post for more pic's..... Image Not Found

Perfect build thread for me. I hope to be picking up a 1987 2.5 manual trans later this week and will be a regular visitor. Just finish a minor suspension upgrade on our 2010 JK, can't wait to start on the MJ.
