Dear xxx , After several years of resisting inflation, we’ve finally faced the difficult reality that we’ll have to significantly raise door panel prices on January 1st, 2025. If you have already received a door panel quote, or still need to receive a quote, you have until the end of the year to place an order and lock in our 2024 prices before the prices go up. We always keep our prices as low as we possibly can, but each custom-built set of door panels is highly labor intensive and requires specific materials and tooling, and inflation has hit these areas especially hard. Price increases are never pleasant, but in order for us to keep offering the showroom quality factory-correct door panels we have become known for over the last 30 years, we’ll be raising our door panel prices on January 1st. So get your order in by the end of the year to lock in our 2024 prices. We appreciate your business and your understanding!

I have an 87 and and 89 MJ that I will be selling. Both are 2600 miles away in coastal Virginia, left behind when I moved to Montana. Any suggestions of how to sell them from afar?

Hi JHughes, I see this is your first post. On behalf of all of us knuckleheads, welcome to the CC. Someone will probably ask you to register your VIN number. It took a while, but I did find someone selling the handle used. I don't recall what I paid for it. Later, I saw someone else had one listed for sale here in classifieds. He wanted more than I wanted to pay just to have a spare, so I told him when he might lower his price to $40 that I would buy it and I did. I have an 89 and an 87, so one old part could go. As you have figured out, those are unique to the MJ and are no longer easy to come by. After looking at the part, it shouldn't be too hard to fix. More likely than not, the cable wore through where the attachment is on the end of the cable opposite from the handle. That attachment fits in a slot on the release mechanism. Find a similar size piece of cable and a something to lock on the new piece of cable. Cut the broken end of the old cable. Leave as much of the old cable as you can in case you have to do it again in several years. Using something large enough but small enough, clamp the cables together and you should be in business. That will likely last longer than one out of a junker that likely has a cable worn in the same spot. https://www.moparpartsgiant.com/parts/mopar-cable-brake-parking-brake~52000861.html

For your viewing pleasure

Agreed. The lines across the gap look very amateurish. Darken the lines so they are less predominant and gap them where the gap is. Agreed. It looks like it belongs there. My suggestion is: "Pete", written in script and centered on the large panel on the door. Cruiser54 centered over the rear wheel well (instead of near the cab.) No parenthesis needed. Thanks for doing all this. It is the man and his good deeds benefiting the CC we are honoring; not the truck.

Sooooo, what has become of you? Fly home to Massachusetts? Any summer ventures to ward off travel withdrawals? Don't let it go to your head but you put words together nicely.

Gonz, we need a fix. Any more words and pics for us?

Cruiser54, the other Pete, posted to the CC on the day that he died, May 16. How is that for dedication?

Peter “Pete” Lee Rushbrook, 70, of Prescott, Arizona, passed away on May 16, 2024. Pete was a beloved husband, father, grandfather, and great grandfather. He was known for his love of old cars, his dedication to his friends and family, and his willingness to help others in any way he could. Pete will be remembered for his friendly and outgoing nature. He never met a stranger and was always ready to strike up a conversation with anyone he encountered. His knowledge and willingness to lend a hand made him the “go-to guy” for many, earning him the admiration and love of all who knew him. Pete is survived by his wife, Christine Rushbrook, his children David Rushbrook (Erica), Kurt Hartwick (Heather), Shane Christopher (Jimmy), and Chrystal Hartwick, as well as his grandchildren-Kristen, Brady, Cody, Kaylee, Alexandria, Ashley, Seth, Jase, Connor, Sophia, Olivia, and great-grandchildren-Tanner, Brayden, Cole, Natalia, Nevaeh, Penelope, and Dawson. He was preceded in death by his parents, Edna and William Rushbrook, and his brother William (Rush). A gathering of friends in memory of Pete will be held on Wednesday, May 29th, 2024, at 5 p.m. at the Watson Lake upper Ramada. In lieu of flowers, the family requests that you keep them in your thoughts and prayers during this difficult time. Pete will be deeply missed by all who knew him, but his memory will live on in the hearts of those he touched. Information provided by the family.

How close are you to having a set available?

Sorry the seat won't move but, IT REALLY LOOKS NICE !!!

If you can get past the guy talking too much, you might enjoy the information he gives and what they did to improve the truck while keeping the original look.

Any more pics of winter from those that still have winter? Curiously, there has been a lack of snow in much of Montana. Snow lingers only at higher elevations here.

Did you ever find those pics? This is not one of those big fish got away stories is it?
