  1. It's power. I'll check it more this weekend, but I'm assuming worst-case, most-expensive scenario.
  2. I'll be interested to know how this works out. You know, details and such. The rockers are very comfortable and they are easy to get. A no-pain mounting option would be awesome!
  3. So, Pete, your rockers are on MJ brackets or something custom?
  4. "Tight" may be subjective too. I'm guessing I can turn the wheel two inches before I notice any resistance. I don't know if that's normal or not. It is an older vehicle and specs change.
  5. What the heck. Take credit for it! And, thanks for digging it up. Very helpful to a mechanically-challenged MJ owner.
  6. I'm trying to get a handle on this too. Opinions are all over the place! The general opinion is that they sit too high and not worth the trouble to fab brackets to fit them. However, I don't know if the seat height is due to the seat cushion being thicker, the bracket design itself, the seat design or all of the above. It's frustrating since I have nice, clean set of rockers I'd love to use.
  7. Ahhh! I'm in that boat too! Have rockers to replace bench, also 6' 4". The world ain't made for tall folks!
  8. My 88 has a crap-ton of play. I'm looking for suggestions on what components must be replaced and what components typically last forever. And, any low-tech upgrades I can/could make. My truck is a daily driver, stock ride, occasional light trail. I'm not looking to beef-up to an IED resistant system. Really just better performance than stock. Thanks!
  9. Next mow, spray your shoes and ankles with Permethrin.
  10. I love mine too! My first car, a 73 Dodge Dart, had them so I guess I'm partial. However, my MJ driver's side vent is crazy loose. I noticed a nut and spring up under the window inside the door. Tried to tighten it, but nada. Is there a way to tighten these vents?
  11. Second this. Had a similar squeak. Shot front pads.
  12. Heh! The "problem" is that my brain was sure it would be more involved. Clearly, it's pretty straightforward.
  13. so, to be clear, I can change my stock MJ power to manual without getting new doors? It's a matter of swapping the motor with a crank?
  14. One more thought. Straight-up bees wax may work. Usually, repels dust and is easy, easy to reapply when/if needed. Also water-proofs.

    I had a bat fly in my basement shop last year. Funny thing is, I didn't see it fly out and I have not seen hide nor hair of it since!
  16. You put a Walnut butcher block outdoors?
  17. Oil will always darken or golden. Water-based poly will stay clear.
  18. Seat images.

     

    Need some resto. Work as far as I know. I'll verify and get back to you.

      Spoke with the owner. He said these seats were a trade. They are untested and he's not sure what Jeep they came out of. He like to get $75 for them. Seems like a good price even if you don't use the electronics. Shipping won't be pretty, but I'll look at all options if you like.

  19. I have a stock bench. Everything I need is already there, correct? Sent from my MJ-MIM (Messaging Interface Module)
  20. Potentially dumb question here. These 1990 XJ seats will fit as long as I do the bracket swap from my bench, correct?
  21. Yeah, I saw that post after I asked, thanks. It is a good price. Unfortunately, I'm in NC so, you know. Distance and stuff.
  22. It does look great! I'm jealous riding around in a rattle can paint job the PO applied. BTW, whatcha doing with those removed turbines?
  23. Good ideas! I think the conduit will be my first attempt. Sounds sturdy and cheap.
  24. I have a heavy plastic tool box/tote I want to mount in my truck, but don't know how to do it without drilling holes in the bed. The box is like a Tuff Stuff type box without wheels. Any ideas on how to install as a temp./removable box?
