Yeah I love mine. It's pretty sturdy. And that thing was quite heavy compared to the original.

well your much farther along with knowledge of cars than when i was 16, I'm 20 now and learned quite a lot with all the wheeling I've done now and all the repairs caused by the wheeling. but my first jeep and first vehicle never had a chance to get built. I was speeding and hadn't driven it in over 4months so forgot how to steer it right at higher speeds. hit some sand on the road shot off a corner at 45mph and hit a tree stump.

Yep looks alot like what I have done on mine. Too bad you dont live near me or we could go wheeling sometime. I have to say that even though my dad rarely helps with my jeep he always will if I really need it. Interior is looking good BTW. Also I think you and I are the only people in the world with our CBs mounted where they are.

So today i went to taco bell w my jeep packed down w buddies and drove through the puddle/lake bout 2-3 feet deep in the parking lot. a hit it pretty fast and it was fuller than ever. i smashed through it and almost stalled out my jeep. sucked up some water and i parked it and let it idle.... dried out the air-box / filter and continued back .... haha all my buddy's laughed at me. any advice on what i should do? i checked my oil. no water in the oil, and i ran some choke/carb cleaner through the tb. shes running just fine now.
and i put my new sticker on!
