Eagle_SX4 Posted October 30, 2024 Share Posted October 30, 2024 I just reassembled my doors after paint and you need to have the rod attached to the lock cylinder before install then just clip it in to the proper hole on the door latch. It makes it much easier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drahcir495 Posted November 3, 2024 Author Share Posted November 3, 2024 Called everywhere to try to figure out what sized shocks are needed for my lift - even Bilstien. They sent me to Shock surplus to try to figure out the correct size shocks. They needed the fully extended and collapsed measurements to find the correct ones. I ended up having to remove one front and rear shock to get the measurements. They arrived today . Have Bilstien on my Cherokee and love them -> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drahcir495 Posted December 7, 2024 Author Share Posted December 7, 2024 Not an update on the MJ as it still sits at the shop. My update is on the end of my marriage. Note to self - Next time find a girl who loves jeeps or understands the obsession. Big If - if I am ever ready to date again? I'm now optimistic on what I will get in the divorce. My jeeps should be safe since I had them before the marriage. The new house was a different story. Perfect home for me - the garage especially. The threats to relocate to Wisconsin have been nixed. So extremely happy about that. In order to see my son regularly, I will (happily) move back to the Tallahassee area. The exceptional good news is that after we sell my (now ours ) house in Pinellas County, and after the payoff, I should have enough funds to put down an adequate chunk of change to keep it I hope I just didn't jinx it - jinxed it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drahcir495 Posted December 21, 2024 Author Share Posted December 21, 2024 The Z car made it But here is the unexpected part. A completely restored MJ. Supposed to have 60k into it, but sold for 25k -> They had to pull it out so the Datsun could be unloaded . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking closer, I wonder if the gauges are aftermarket ones for something like an 80s F150. And maybe the climate controls are aftermarket like Vintage Air?

No door locks, fender flares, plus the other oddities, I have a hard time seeing 25k from the pics provided. But to each their own. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Red Mistress Posted January 8 Share Posted January 8 What are chances of a MJ being on same transport truck as your orange Datsun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It wasn't on there when it was picked up here. I would have loved to check it out in person and give better details about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I never had this happen in Wisconsin, but we also didn’t have the rain before the freezing temperatures Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
