I really wish I could, but my health won't allow it right now. I had enough saved up to be able to make the trip too, but there's just no way I can justify being so far away from my doctors if something does happen.

Bought Baby when I was 16 for $600 not even knowing what I had just bought. It took me until I was 21 to get the title away from my mom because she liked it so much as well. Oldest picture I have of her (circa 2005) Last time I seen her (as Jeepco had her loaded up to go to his place) In between then, she has seen a number of minor cosmetic changes (a lot of which I wouldn't dare do knowing what I do now). When I get her back, she should be only one phase away from being just as I always envisioned her to be.

Does it make me evil if I shock him for over a minute straight? And intentionally make the wrong cut? Oh, and I kept the pill for myself. As soon as I stop seeing little green guys flying around and can get rid of the garden gnomes in my living room, I will let you all know what it was. :banana:

MiNi, that is inspiration. For those of us with XJ's; as that's what it is. Still very nicely done though.

6'1" here as well, and even in my XJ, with the rocker seats, I still have comfortable head and leg room. I can't say on my MJ though, as it's getting racing seats, but with the bench it had, I had a lot of room as well.

I see what you did there. Most people don't realize that they're misusing their words there in a sentence. Some people do realize it, but do it anyways to see who catches it. Then there are some people that know their differences, and they're the ones to make comments like this. [/end

Add to the list my condolences, I know many an official of the law that are out to do right, and not what the book says is right. He passed away doing what any person should do' protect their own. In that regard, I commend him. I can only wish my passing would be similar to his; saving anouther life. I will openly admit I am not a religious person, but I know full well that he is in a better place than here, and is happy, just awaiting the time to see his family and friends.

It is an addiction that is hard to kick, much like any street drug. Once you have had one, you must have the rest and the best!

Cereal? Green ghey Butt Packers colours on the motor and intake? Blech!! Other than that, I'd say it was a good buy to flip.

yep the center caps make the wheels look real dirty :yes: Looks REAL good though! :brows: Just clean her up a bit more, and she will look great! Glad you accepted he caps, they went to a good home.

Looks good! I can't wait to see how them center caps set it off though.

I guess I am in the minority then, I absolutely love it! Imagine that truck with everything that Baby has/will have done to her? :drool: :drool: :drool: :drool: :drool:

True enough, that's what sets this group apart from others, the diversity, but mutual respect for one anouther.

Hey, you were first in line, I am a respectable man, so if you can take it, then it shall be. If for some reason that deal falls through, then that's a horse of a different colour, and I shall see if my fundings allow such a transaction.

^^^What he said.

i need the wheels! or just the center caps!! please tell me you are saving it...!! I have an extra set of turbines with center caps sitting in my storage unit. Do you need just the center caps or the actual rims with the center caps? Just need the center caps! PM replied to, and taken care of. :yes:

I've not installed a full windshield banner myself yet, but even for the smaller decals, I get the surface a little bit wet with a dish soap and water mix, which allows the decal to be positioned correctly before adhesion. When it's in the right place, use a credit card, hard rubber squeegee, or similar to force the water and air bubbles out and let it sit for a minute before pulling the clear film off. Anouther trick I've used it to leave the backing and everything in place, get it positioned correctly and use tape on either the top or bottom to keep it in place. Then it's a matter of removing the backing (carefully) and working your way with the squeegee, or item of choice, from the direction of the tape to the opposite edge.

Going by the axle to frame measurements for a 4wd MJ of front: 7 3/4" rear: 9 1/4", I would say that the rear on a stock, good springed MJ is about 1 1/2" +/- 1/2" taller than the front. Edit: Or just click the link Pete posted.

I would still like to do my MJ15 project. Convert an MJ into a miniature version of the M715 by removing the bedsides and building a set of fenders for it. The front fenders would be cut and shaped similarly. 6.5" long arm lift, 35"s, cut the rockers out and replace with 2"x6" as rock rails, 4.7L stroker (possible turbo), AX15/242, and waggy header panel.

I've only ever seen one of them before, at a car show many years ago. I might still have pics of it somewhere. He had all the documentation, original window sticker, everything to verify it as an original Shelby convertible. I myself have had the privilege of owning an '85 Shelby Charger that I regrettably sold. At least the guy that bought it brought it back to it's original condition, as I wasn't able to. To the OP, I'm kind of with shelby on this one, I personally wouldn't have let that Dakota sit like that, though I can understand your reasoning as well.

:eek: There is now one less kitten on this earth because of that statement. Our Jeeps are not cars, they are trucks. :yes: To add fuel to the fire (bad pun, I know), I like both them Dodges. I like the sound of the gasser, and the looks of it, but there's just something about hearing a turbo diesel spool up and let loose black smoke. So, in my book, the Dodges are tied. The rat rod on the other hand... :clapping:

*Note to self* Don't drink Pete's Kool-Aid! :cheers:

If you all pick a date with enough advance for me to have the gas money to Jeepco's, I would gladly come along and supervise ;) .

I will agree with you that it wasn't the best choice to say my health is worse off than it really is. It is significantly down from as recently as a year ago though. This isn't the proper thread for it though, and not sure if there would be a proper outlet to try to explain it. So, with that, I apologize for stressing anyone out if they did, and Don, I appreciate the compliment, means a lot coming from you.
