Sounds good!

No I'm still in need of one. I'd even take two to have a spare.

Glad you were able to get it! can't wait to see it on your truck..

Pics will come, photographer has them. Celebration/reception is tomorrow so the majority of pictures will be taken then. Tonight was the wedding at the lake with the judge, her brother, my sister, photographer, and of course the dogs. Short and to the point, the way we like it.

Thank you!

We are doing the reception on the farm and talked about doing "just married" on the zuki and doing a lap. Lol

Not going to be able to do all of what I wanted today. Someone changed my plans on me. Luckily I was allowed a few minutes to install the windshield and side mirror. It's a sheet of 2x4x1/4" polycarbonate ziptied on for now. It's a little big on the passenger side since it's crushed in but I don't want to cut it until I have a cage so it fits nice in that. The side mirror is an XJ mirror I had laying around. It's basically...ish street legal now.

From today. So lucky she puts up with my shtuff.

Lol thanks! Didn't think it was quite that big of a deal haha. Here's a pic of the Koozies. We have sport dogs and she spends all her free time with training and working the dogs, I of course spend too much time working on Jeeps and other various vehicles.

Yeah I thought about taking you out to the farm but it's 45mins 1 way from my house. Next time hopefully it will have a cage and whatnot so we can really have fun!

It has been about 6 months since I've seen it and over a year since this thing has even been started. With the wedding coming up this weekend out at the farm I decided to get it cleaned out to have some fun and put the back seat in to haul people around if need be. We went out there yesterday for the game and I went down to see how it's faired sitting there. Put a battery in and it fired right up!! The young cousins wanted to go for rides so I took them out for some spirited offroading and they had a blast. All told it ran hard for about 2 hours just fine and only stalled once when I climbed up on a tall log but it started right back up. Later this week I will be going out to put the windshield on, change the oil, clean it up, putting some tranny fluid in to maybe fix the slipping in reverse, and install the backseat. Pictures will come then and of course fun will be had!

By the end of this trip you are going to have half the trailer full of tow hooks. Lol

The factory license plate lights are pretty generic anyway. We also discovered this weekend they are exactly the same as the ones used on FEY bumpers and probably others still produced today.

You don't replace individual parts, get a full cluster and it will have all the gauges. The sensors will need changed but that goes for any gauge you put in.

That's rediculous. How do they even screw that up? Make sure you "pay" a ton of money for the replacement.

Not sure what happened but it ended up with a dead spot in the beginning of the video but it gets the point across regardless. Basically the video covers going over the cleaning of the replacement cylinder head. This is also from like a week ago. Little behind on stuff.

Thank you Pete for hanging out, sharing stories and some knowledge, and just a really good time! Also got to meet and hang out with JMO413. Great last couple days all around. Safe travels on the rest of your trip!

The 97+ XJ console fits the yeti cup perfectly. You could swap the entire console over or maybe cut one apart for the cupholder.

Unless you need the projection I would just go with an eBay special for $20ish. The eBay ones are super bright and light basically everything up around you but don't project down the road quite as well. The better ones light up the road ahead much better.

These are the Cherokee rears, not sure if they make Comanche ones. Edit: 58497 is the Comanche ones according to the thread Jeep Driver posted below.

The amount of history there is amazing.

On one MJ I drilled out the studs and used bolts with washers through it all. On my other MJ I just got rid of the brackets entirely and used large fender washers (1-1/2" irrc) and 1/4-20 nuts and bolts. They are just as strong as the one with the brackets and aren't going anywhere. There is also no way to tell the difference from the outside.

I'd also start to suspect a clogged cat. Especially if it does it while accelerating.

Try a little heat on it. Maybe not a torch but a heat gun to avoid damaging the finish
