Do you mean upper ca bushing mount? Thats what im about to do soon

 

yep! The old mount was bent, so he bought a heavy duty one and had me weld it on

 

Lol that's good.

 

$1560/year for more Jeep parts!!!!!

 

About to break a window because I left the keys in the car with the lights on and the car off. Now the battery is dead.

 

Finished installing my Napier flares and gave it a bath.

 

Two projects today.

First, I installed the T-case skid plate. My 96 Sport did not have any skids. Picked one up (literally-it was on the ground by itself) at the junk yard recently. The cross member on my XJ had the two holes, but no threaded hardware. The body rail had only one hole (go figure) and nothing threaded. Since I hate the darn nutserts, (on account of them spinning in the holes when you want to undo a bolt) I opted for a trick someone on the forum mentioned. I drilled the 4 holes to accept the nut part of flanged nuts. Stuck 'em in and welded the flanges to the cross member and rail. Ground off my crappy welding mistakes, cleaned and sprayed some black paint on. Then bolted on the skid plate. Sturdy. Invisible. Functional. Then I crammed a big rag between the bottom of the T-case and the skid. Its a diaper to keep the leaking oil off my driveway. Works. Don't laugh.

Second, I installed hood struts from an Infinity Q45. Full write up here:

Been doing these nice incremental projects and its coming along. Next is the headliner. I think I will use wood strips and give it the Conestoga Wagon look. I did that to my 90 Laredo years ago.

 

I pay $400 a year for liability ins., you must be talking about multiple vehicles.

 

Ha, SCREW YOU BUSHWACKER!, with your over priced $500 pieces of plastic.

 

Pulled out the engine in my new to me dd

 

Not one unlock service has a ****ing slim Jim.

 

Any chance your on the north shore of MA? I've got my tools in the jeep and I'm out of work in 10 minutes I'd get you in quick and easy.

 

Kansas :/ and my mechanical locks are typical jeep so they are too stiff to move.

 

I would have picked them anyway, a little graphite lubricant will make them smoother. Kansas is a little far though, I'm a Good Samaritan but not that good.

If you do choose to smash a window....

Porcelain is harder than glass, if you have access to an old spark plug, break the white porcelain part with a hammer. If you throw a small piece of it at the window, it will shatter effortlessly.

 

Thanks for the advice. Do you know what toool is?
