Tell me about it.Making it out of wood?? What happened....did you win the Powerball Lotto??
The last time I bought some birch ply for making our bed frame it was half the price. Not bad so far I am $63 for the wood and a couple of angle brackets.
Lol. Quite a few years back my 16yr old buried our TJ in mud with no top and half doors. There was more mud on inside of windshield then out. He had fun cleaning thatStupid. I think they word you are looking for is "stupid".
I put the top and doors back on before heading to the car wash. The wiper arms are so clean in this pic because I lowered the windshield to make cleaning the dash easier, I gave the wiper arms a once over while I had them off. I must have wiped the antenna at some point as well. The drawings are from my buddy's daughter who was riding shot gun at the time.
btw, you can see I had mud flaps on, clearly they don't work. Think I'll ask for my money back.
I’ve been looking for that exact thing. Do you have a link?The JL door latches don't work that well with bottles so I added this to my Springtail table.
They're Westins
There are a lot of choices on the Amazon (most much cheaper) but I went with this one because I believed it was really SS (it is) and not just polished pot metal.
Not just for JT but for the Mopar tube doors. Part number is 77072562AB.
Looking good funny i did pretty much the same thing today but i have a Diesel & it’s heavy so i found a guy and bought his Rubicon Diesel suspension & swapped springs & shocks even though the shocks had the same numbers the letters at the end where AA instead of AB . Also i put 1 1/2” spacers in front because winch & bumper weight, the back i put a 3/4” spacer i am very happy with the ride & stance.I drove 700 miles for work, got home at the crack of dawn, and went to work on the Rubicon takeoff lift. I added 0.75" coil spacers in the front and LCAs from the Mopar lift kit. I already had the Rubicon shocks.
I finally corrected the front end sag, and I feel better about doing most of the lifting with springs. I debated not even throwing the spacer in there, but it came out level, and wouldn't have without it. I have some room in the wheel well now without making the stock tires look stupidly small.
Measuring from the ground to the bottom of the fender flares, I had 34.5" and 36.5" starting out, and 37.5" all around when I got done. (I had my son stand on the piece of "black pudding" as he calls it to stand in for the bumper I'm about to bolt on.) I drove the Jeep very gently to jostle everything a little and settle it down some before measuring.
I still have to torque the LCAs. I was going to do that and change the rear bumper, but the bottom fell out of my ass at noon. The job probably took about four hours total, or six hours with breaks. It was the first time I ever took apart any suspension components. It was easier than I expected. I did get the axle breather tube pretty tight, and probably should have loosened it, but I didn't tear it, and it seems fine.
I went to bed for a few hours, and the 30% chance of a shower turned into three straight hours of rain so far. Damn it. Not getting the bumper done today. I have to go lay down in the rain and torque the LCAs so I can take it somewhere and get it aligned tomorrow.
Rain in the forecast every day for the foreseeable future, so no going topless anytime soon. I should, however, have some very muddy dirt roads to explore next weekend!
