NRT_Chris Posted June 13, 2024 Author Posted June 13, 2024 This is a Before and after kind of. Steele Rubber offers a great kit to fix the dry rotted window trim! The have it for 2 and 4 door XJ and of course the MJ. Very easy to install!
Salvagedcircuit Posted June 13, 2024 Posted June 13, 2024 Nice! I grabbed a similar kit from Precision seals. I just need to commit to tearing apart both my doors to finish the job
NRT_Chris Posted June 16, 2024 Author Posted June 16, 2024 Still needs have some work to do but the Turbines are coming out great!
Torq_Shep Posted June 17, 2024 Posted June 17, 2024 One thing that really helped with my Eliminator wheels to not damage the machining marks on the outside edge was actually putting them on the truck and putting the truck in gear with the rear end jacked up and holding the scotch pad against the rim in the flat areas. You have to be extremely careful doing this, wheel chocks, extra jack stands, etc, but it worked like polishing on a lathe for the final pass.
NRT_Chris Posted June 26, 2024 Author Posted June 26, 2024 My Comanche got hooked up! New grill, headlight bezels. signal and marker lenses, complete bumper all from Crown Automotive..Vintage NOS Wide Beam LX2 from KC and a vintage Offroad Magazine license plate from the good old print media days. I kept the old faded original stuff because the Jeep horder in me can't throw anything Jeep away.

89 MJ Posted June 27, 2024 Posted June 27, 2024 If you’re going to go with an ACC carpet kit, rock auto will probably be the cheapest.
NRT_Chris Posted August 22, 2024 Author Posted August 22, 2024 Easily passed Ca Smog with 238k on the clock!
NRT_Chris Posted September 4, 2024 Author Posted September 4, 2024 I finally finished the Turbines and had some old school style tires mounted. I should have them on tje truck tomorrow
NRT_Chris Posted September 5, 2024 Author Posted September 5, 2024 It was 106 at my house today, so I didn't get to clean the blue off the tires or finish the caps. I'm really happy with the look of the 1987 date coded Jeep Turbine wheels.
Eagle_SX4 Posted September 6, 2024 Posted September 6, 2024 Wishing the turbines I have on my Eagle looked that good. Great job on the painting and polishing.
