Eagle_SX4 Posted October 30 Share Posted October 30 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 Author Share Posted November 3 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 Author Share Posted December 7 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drahcir495 Posted Saturday at 02:49 AM Author Share Posted Saturday at 02:49 AM 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?

Seems to be something funny with the lower dash panel on the driver's side. Maybe just shadows. 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...

Love the rear bumper but hate what they did to the fenders Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
