I dragged home this pile of crap.  :dunno:  some guy's project that he started/stopped like 10 years ago.  no title of course.  see-through floor on teh pass side, somethigns been repainted at some point in time, and the rear bumper is quite bent and has some nasty rot shown in the pic below.  came with a pair of 97+ doors and a hood that were apparently refinished eons ago but left in primer.

I'm guessing the lower bits were repainted at some point, but maybe it was just this fender.  but then maybe more since I see the 4x4 badges are in the wrong spot.  I haven't taken a magnet to it all yet.

the cab and the bed were filled with trash.  not Jeep trash, just the regular kind. :crazy:  I kept anything that looked like it once belonged to a Jeep.

random 97+ door on this side.  original hood was still around, though not attached to anything.

this was the most painful to see after I dragged it out of the weeds. :(  mangled and I can stick my finger through it.

Finally finished replacing my radiator, Trans oil cooler, and Condenser. Also replaced the nasty hard lines with AN hoses and fittings which haven’t leaked yet (knock on wood). The condenser literally had to be cut out of the Jeep because it was so rusted.

Been driving it to work the past few days due to rain. The tires on it are much, much better at resisting hydroplaning.

 

I die a little bit inside when I think about the risk I'm taking driving it in Nashville traffic. I really need another car that I don't have to worry about as much.

Nashville traffic is as bad as Chicago's or Atlanta's anymore.  Even the back roads stay clogged up with idiots.  Might as well forget it when its rains or SNOWS! lol

Nice score. What lights did you go with?

Same ones I had. Up top is some ProComp lights then on the bumper is a cheap set of Baja Blazers. Might swap them out for Hella 500s at some point.
