    Tell ya the truth. It’s just under a pop up with a tarp on the side. For what it is it still comes out really good. As far as what is being used, I know it’s professional grade stuff from Sherwin Williams.

    Well. She isn’t done yet. But damn does it feel weird to drive her and actually have a good looking paint job on the front. Yes I was allowed to drive her today, put all the front back together last night. Will continue sanding everything else. I will admit, it has its issues but for being done at home by someone who has done such for years all the while still recovering from a stroke is pretty impressive. I can’t argue as it is being done for the cost of myself doing all the sanding and stuff. For whatever reason she gives off a 50’s vibe. Maybe when I get the running boards back on that will go back to being the 80’s vibe.

    That’s not right. Any tires I have done I do them through my work at the dealer.

    Well the oil I can easily order from a depot. The coolant will have to be ordered from another dealer.

    Thank you gentlemen. Next is to sand the doors and bed and fix some minor body problems on the bed. can't wait to get her all painted and back together. Yes she will get her pioneer decals back

    I know now it’s not the level of expertise that is in Jeepdrivers build(will admit, his work has been inspirational), but for honest work and help from my neighbor who is experienced in body work and paint, I’ll be happy with the work I will have put in and appreciate the knowledge I have and will learn in the process. With out a further ado here is the progress.

    Damn I miss camping and being in the out doors. Damn aging out of the scouts.

    I think any Jeep vehicle except for the CJ's are tough to find parts for. Member on here is struggling to find XJ Wagoneer specific parts. I can imagine the SJ community is having just as hard of a time as us, let alone the J-trucks.

    Scary what people do as back woods jury rigging.

    Oh lord. I forgot about tree striping. But its been a long while since I last took LR to the desert for something. As for people who overland, I can only imagine doing that in an old school van and some camping equipment. But no one has the time to just go out from work for a month and just live peacefully until it is time to return. Although that does sound like hell of a dream. Like a Ron Swanson type dream. It could also not have one. Like you said, it came from Nevada and it gets pretty damn hot there during their summers so it sounds about right to be a freeway runner and no T-stat.
  12. eaglescout526
    Neat trick. Course I'm kind of impressed that it is cooling that well with no T-stat

    I vaguely remember it saying something about the same with heat mode. Maybe it just was only for defrost. But I do experience the same thing where the heat is only warm and blows out on vent mode and on heat mode it blows out really warm from the floor vents.

    I hear ya. Seeing all the durangos, chargers and challengers in the grey color bore me everytime I look at one that is out in the shop.
  15. eaglescout526
    Theres a whole thing on that in the user manual. To paraphrase what I remember, it said that the compressor kicks on to eliminate the moisture out of the air, hence "air conditioning". Despite only warm air coming out, the blower also has to shove air through the evap and into the heater core to produce the heat you have requested. Which also helps with defrosting. It is on but it is not on. It is strange.

    SJ control head.
  18. eaglescout526
    Yup. Finally going for it!
  19. eaglescout526
    My truck Little Red. Yup.
  20. eaglescout526
    No problem. Sorry it took me a bit to get back to you. Been prepping LR all damn day.

    No 9 is as follows: They supersede to these numbers: 52003947(without AC) and 52003946(With AC) No. 24
  22. eaglescout526
    Oh yeah. It sure as hell is gonna happen. Oh @88mjsally after getting those vents they went right to painting and I used my can of landau black interior paint(10 coats later) to achieve this: Old vents that came off and new that I bought and restored. Almost looks like NOS. Even put the foam on the back.
  23. eaglescout526
    Do you want part numbers to reference?
  24. eaglescout526
    I think the old Chrysler saying goes "There's power in Mopar"
  25. eaglescout526
    Who knows. Like I said we have found that Chrysler has been recycling codes ever since they acquired Jeep. We compared another members build sheet and found some codes to be the same but different descriptions for the code.
