I dont know anyone, but its a pretty small village, just across the Hudson river from Albany. Its probably not beat because that town doesn't see much crime.

Default You're lucky!

Surprised the electrical works like it should. My '93 has the police package and someone be arrested for how they rigged the electrical!

Door locks and windows were a nightmare; they left about 15' of cables above the headliner for the antennas and light bar and completely severed the harness leading to the rear hatch above the head liner...

I'd love to get a copy of the options list you have. Could you PM me with a way to get a copy?

I was very surprised as well. There is a hole in the roof from the lightbar but it has been sealed. I'm gonna make a PDF fill of the options and I'll send it over to you this weekend or post it on this thread.

Tomorrow the rust on the rocker panel will be getting fixed and as soon as my floor pan from Quadratec comes in it will be getting done. Hopefully I'll have it in for paint with in the next 2 weeks

Basically it comes with upgraded suspension components, transmission cooler, bigger brakes and an optional column shift. I have the entire options list at my house on this jeep. I'll make it a PDF file and post it. Oh yea and the rev limiter was taken out so it has a top speed of 120mph(which i plan on never testing)

i want to take mine out. how do i do that?

It really does not have that much more than stock. The main noticeable difference at high speeds is no rev-limiter. But the small things like trans cooler and brakes are nice little goodies to have.
First thing you should do is get that thing painted!! If the doors/panels are in good condition just keep them. It wont cost that much more to just paint them rather buy entirely different doors from someone.

Alot of people have been telling me to do that I'm trying to be as low key as possible.

I'll have more photos tonight of the body work getting done. Everything is coming together very nicely. I'm not in a rush to get it to paint yet since the floorpan isn't even in yet.

More work done today. The rotted rocker panel on the driverside has been repaired and all the stickers have been removed. We found some other slight surface rust that will be getting taken care of on MOnday.







Lightbar hole has been covered with a rubber boot.

Still waiting on the floorpan so we can finish the body work finally. Besides the floorboard everything is looking real good and going pretty smoothly. I did get a check engine light and we ran a diagnostic and got a bunch of codes back. The typical Evaporator, 02 sensor and I forgot the other 2. Maybe one day I can finally start driving this Jeep!
