"Wranglers were made from the factory to have the doors removed, ie a removable body panel." That's what I was told by the state police office

Wrangles are factory made to be doorless.

For me, living on the beach I need doors..

Glad I live in NC... doors are not a requirement however, a driver side view rear view morrow is. So I always have that. Been stopped at a light beside police officers many times. I look over and wave. The look over give me a nod... Then I usually see them stare at the Glock on my side for a minute.... Again NC open carry state, can't be more open than that! Never been pulled

the driveline shops prognosis was a bad shaft. They would need to cut the stub and slip yoke off and weld all new on with a new u joint.

Splines looked top notch when i rebuilt but they said there was movement when they had it on the machine. The slip yoke had movement.

Is the pan leaking? The filter is actually a screen and does not require changing 99% of the time. Drain and fill works good, needs to be done twice with some driving in between.
The pans can be a pain to remove. The exhaust often prevents it from coming off, same with the dipstick tube.

Aligning the track bar though, I didn't think of jacking up one side I was tired and it was late. Probably a good thing I called it a night. I will try that when I go over there today. Thanks.
LOL ... I just called my (very) big brother over to shove the body "a little bit" :-D

Installed my T/L led headlights, drove around breaking my new gears in.



the one on the left is Autopal housing 80/100w with upgraded wiring harness 5000K
I don't know why they look like 3500k in the pic, but the TruckLite led just blow
the H4 away.
In this pic the headlights are on low. I hope the truck lites will be
able to handle Alaskan snow fall. I guess I'll find out.

I got a deal on them used from PumpinIron so I did not pay much.
They are still new looking, he said they have less then 100hrs on them.

Big time score

Went to put on my new RE shackles and said to myself might as well replace the rear leaf bushings I have had in the shed for a year and needed to do. What a mistake, bushing sleeve is fused to the leaf and I don't have air tools or a sawsall here fml.

Went and picked up some cheap f150 shocks to replace my crappy and completely blown zone nitros 30k old.

To top it off weather called for scattered showers and said don't worry about it then late afternoon in the middle of the above the skies open up and get an hour and a half pouring.

Any better suggestions for the bushing sleeve beside my current plan to hacksaw slices and cold chisel and bfh it out?

Thx
