Drove it to JY 1st time. Water leaking into cab so cleared the a/c drain hose. Got the overhead console installed, Unique Upholstery Of Venice Fla. did a fantastic job on it & it looks great! The "display" don't work but the lights do. What is the "globe" thingy????? Then we installed the trailer light wiring kit. See my post in the "what PO left you" thread..........got the spare tire mounted but most important put some miles on it 1000 miles in past 6 years not so good sometimes!

Agreed. Had Chyna, my pitt, for just under 16years, from the time she was 6weeks old. She lived with me at 5 bases across the country with and greeted me after 9 different deployments over my 14 years in (not to mention sat by my side through a CJ, 3 TJ's, and my XJ)...had to take her in for her final vet visit in April. This was her on that final ride to the vet...anyways, well said Cruiser.

Got him more parts! For $30 in diesel and $150 in cashola picked up myself a 2009-version Detours USA Backbone, a stock steering box spacer that somehow didn't snap, and the dude even threw in a brand new '96+ driver's seat cross member.

Very excited about the Backbone. Should clean up the front end nicely, as well as add confident recovery points.

I love my Doberman, Princess. 3 years old, loves kids, take her anywhere, watches over the family. The breed is not known for their longevity. She's my 5th Dobie. I dread the day...

The globe is the infra-red Keyless Entry receiver for the door locks.

My Pitty put him down in March was about 9 years. Was always a outside pet, but for his last almost 6 months I slept on a old mattress next to him and took him everywhere I went.

Now I have a shepard that is and jerk now. But she don't good in the jeep since she is a monster now.

Gonna be tough to source that one local...I got mine from Grainger, had to order it but it only took a day. Check Amazon or ebay if you don't have a local industrial supply...
