Haha thanks! i mean its half way there i might as well! :rofl:

Installed some 2 inch AALs today and removed the rear sway bar. While i was back there i found some more rusty goodness :lol: I also found why the back was sagging so much thanks to some broken leaf springs! Tomorrow im heading to the junkyard so i might grab some leaf spring packs to rebuild mine. Im also going to finish lifting the front tomorrow and install my rear shocks, if i have time tomorrow after all that i might start trimming up my fenders and throwing on some 31s :sorcerer:

^^^WOW huge improvement! Looks awesome! That's a good color combo.

Thanks!! its definitely becoming a lot easier on the eyes now from what it was lol . . ive always been a huge fan of this color although i have no idea what its called. Steel blue? light blue?

So today i decided to tackle one of the many issues this jeep has . . When i bought it the PO had said the passenger side window motor was bad and he had taped it up to keep it from getting wet inside. Well i took it all apart today and here is what i found . . . .

Started by removing the door panel

Once i could peer inside the problem became evident! although there was much more i had yet to find

After unbolting the window, motor, and track i pulled everything out and found that the worm gear was completely pulled out, so from here i pushed the worm gear back through the tubing and reinstalled the housing back onto the motor

Attachment 304375

Now i had read a few threads about the plastic teeth wearing off on the bracket that holds the window onto the track and this was indeed the problem causing the window not to work, its also why the worm gear had come completely out. So i removed the area of the plastic teeth and drilled out some holes and reattached the bracket to the worm gear via cotter pins

Once i had the bracket reattached to the worm gear i reassembled everything and tested it out to find that i now had a fully functioning window!! :)

Also got around to cleaning up and painting the bumper i pulled from the junkyard

It probably wont be on for long though, i got some brackets free from a friend that i will use to build my own

Nice work with the window. I had to do that on my drivers side. Not my favorite job. The lift looks good.

Looking great, keep up the progress!

Thanks! and yea it was a PITA but it was worth it for a working window lol

Thanks!

Decided to tint my tails and markers today! also painted the grill and headlight buckets, id say it came out pretty nice! :sorcerer:

Looking good! I would suggest painting the flares black. Would give it a nice little offset. And get some front bumper caps!
