Truck is up for sale: http://bellingham.craigslist.org/cto/5599620628.html Gotta make room for the next project which arrives soon spread the word guys great deal on a nice MJ!

Thanks for catching that Benjy, edited post

This weekends's progress was new sway bar bushes, New steering stabilizer with moog boot, WJ lower control arms, and a couple new steering joints (the one at the Pittman arm was worn out and making loud popping noises!) You can see here the difference between v8 WJ and OE lca's. Install note, oblong bushing goes axle side.

She's all put back together and back in action

Thanks! It was the closest "off the shelf" color I could find to the factory spinnaker blue metallic. It's summit racing's single stage "bright blue metallic". Whole gallon kit for like $120 and surprisingly good quality! It's got a lot more silver to it, but I like it, kinda matches the faded clear coat thing it had going on :)

Dipped the flares, had to weld a bunch of new studs into the brackets (almost half broke during removal). What a PITA! flares going back on

Well it's back from the painter

Yup sure do.

If it was today, wasn't me unless my wife was driving it for some reason. I live on woburn and take Iowa a lot I'm real easy to spot right now as I've installed the 97+ front end with 2 different color fenders ha! Getting painted in a couple weeks....

This is awesome there are already 2 local guys here in Bellingham that have reached out to help a new Jeep owner! Can't say that of the other forums I use for various reasons...thanks for the warm welcome Lee and 8valve! It's weird you work at fanatik I just saw a really cool vinyl wrap on a newer crew cab truck with Fanatik on the side. I used to work at a shop that did wraps, and that one still got my attention! We'll all have to grab a beer sometime so I can pick your brains on jeep stuff I'm here in BHAM too. I you ever need anything just PM me Thanks will do!

It's been a really long time since I've updated this thread, just been driving the truck! I've been working on a few things lately. First thing was to replace the broken and work e-brake cables The dimmer function didn't work on the headlight switch, so I ordered a new one....but got the wrong part. Ended up fixing the old one. Also replaced a door pin switch (dome light works upon opening the doors now!) I picked up a 97+ XJ front header panel and DS fender for a good deal on craigslist. Scored the other fender, fender brackets, and missing turn signal housing online (I love how cheap and plentiful parts are for this thing) More coming soon.

Installed the Putco headlight harness. What an improvement! Also a new outer window seal (the PO plastered clear bathroom silicone all over the cracked original)

Been a while since I've posted, but progress hasn't stopped :) Before After

Rear bumper is primed and ready for black plasti-dip and install.
