There is some damage but nothing thats not fixable
Sorry its been so long. The new job is takin alot of time. These pics are up until about a month ago. Since then I have started on the exterior rust, undercoated the bottom of the jeep, and new exhaust. Went with cherry bomb and 2 and a half inch pipe. Sounds pretty good. Sorry its taken so long but its gettin closer. Has anyone heard anything on the 4.5inch long arm lift from RC? Thats what im thinkin for the red one!!! See ya later.

Another idea instead of the rubber bushings you can use hockey pucs, they are hard and they last forever. Thats what we use to use to replace body bushing mounts with. I actually have them on my CJ-7 they have been there for over twenty years.

I'm going with the 4.5" RC long arm kit for my XJ. Ordered it 2 weeks ago but its back ordered because of the rear leaf pack. Just a waiting game now. There's a guy on here who installed it on his. His build thread is Maine jeep from Florida. Pm him and see what he has to say. Keep up the good work. Looks great and I'm digging the color! Post more pics!

I had to clean the seats up. The head rests all had black crap on it. We figured it had to have been mullet grease...

sorry I aint been on...Ive been busy with other stuff. I finally got my drive shaft back and in. It took him 4 weeks to do it but he thru in another shaft and cut the price in half so I guess its cool. I just bought another jeep last night. Its a 96 2dr 5sp. It has the 4.0, ax15, dana 30 and cryco 8.25. It needs a new tcase which I have and a frt fender. It has 135,000 miles and I paid 400 bucks!!! He also gave me a different tcase to use. COuldnt pass up the deal. Runs great. Gonna get my old one done and then hit the new one hard. Im gonna fix it and dd it for a while prolly. Gotta get back and forth to my new job...gonna hate givin up cheap parts but I gotta make more money! Ill get pics up of the copper one later.

there are two screws that hold it up in the center through the dome light. Take the lens off and they are right there.
