Tuned up the trail rig (after some advice) and fixed the passenger side door enough do the window rolls up.
After replacing a bad hub assembly to eliminate death wobble from the stocker, I discovered that my $700 investment came with a lunchbox locked rear diff.
I'm so stoked cause I may
A) put that in the trail rig
B) lift the stocker
C) lift the stocker and lift the trail rig more

So friggin stoked!

Thanks,
I had two years to think about it. lol
I have been slowly fixing it up and did all the mechanical stuff and left it ugly and short until I got it painted.
I finally settled on Inferno Red Metallic pearl, minus the pearl. I just had the place match it and did it as a single stage urethane metallic color.
It comes on the SRT8 Jeep and several other Dodge cars like the SRT8 Charger.

I was scared it would look like Sheet, but I was happily surprised.

I love those flares. I want some so bad. They would be $100 more than I paid for my whole jeep. lol
Maybe in the future I will crack open the wallet for a set.
Did you get them for less than $350?

Yeah, that Wrangler at the J-yard is a Jeep Mangler now. Looks like 3000 lbs of chewed bubble gum.

Can you get a new/used one and replace the one that the waste of life broke or bent? Or is the whole door garbage now? The u-pull it yards I think only want $50 for a whole door.
In the summer I feel like the maitre d' at my local j-yard. I practically live there. People are always asking me to borrow tools because when I go I take sheet ton of them. Nothing worse than not having something when you are all the way out there.
You need to be one with the junk yard.
But no, the doors do not interchange. You will need the 2dr door.
The curse of low production numbers.

Yeah it looks absolutely amazing! Nice choice! I now know what color I'm going to paint my jeep here in the future! Thanks!

Made an appointment to have my broken motor mount bolts removed from the block so I can drive it again! Anyone heard any good/bad about The Performance Place" in Hooksett nh? they do a lot of work on Jeeps and other 4x4's i guess.....hope i can trust em with my baby! I distrust shops for the most part, but i just dont have the place or tools to do this myself.
