Scored some vented quarter windows for the 2-door at a junk yard for $100. I was going to have a local auto glass guy install for another $100, but I couldn't get an appointment till tomorrow morning. Decided to give it a shot. Got 'em installed in about 1.5 hours!
Had to drive over an hour to pick them up, but after calling nearly 20 junkyards over the past few weeks, I was happy to find any:
Thinking $100 is pretty reasonable. Nice score. Don't you just love the "Hell Yeah" score at the boneyard.
The Boostwerks steering box /sector shaft support is beefier Ironman's ...both are nice but the Boostwerks makes for a better Front cross member than flat plate .
I will look into it. If I didn't have so many other projects going on I would build my own. Just never enough time in the day...
I installed new (taller) rear shocks. Stock is 18". I installed 20.5's and also installed a 2" rear shackle lift. In all. It actually raised the rear about 1 & 3/4". It's not much but, I like the stance & the ride better!
Yeah... except without the seatbelts to hold him in proper positioning, it's gonna be like being thrown into a brick wall that will bounce him back into his seat at 100 mph
Lol i took the seat out so no mas driving unless im kneeling on the floor pans
I installed my new to me Cherokee seats and raised the rear of my hood 1in for airflow. Picked up a set of 2 door Cherokee seats for 100$.
Different color, but they don't look too bad. Way better then the 4 door seats that were in there, you couldn't get in the back seat. Cut 2 pieces of 1in square tube and drilled some holes. Poor mans cowl hood!
[That one piece vented Window looks great! I'm surprised you found them that cheap!

Worked the one piece windows out from the inside, starting at one corner:
I used some thin cord pushed into the gasket all around, wiped all surfaces with silicone spray, got the bottom in first then worked the gasket all around as I pulled the cord into the vehicle. Set the gasket perfectly. Easy
I wish I could find a set of those rear quarter vents for that cheap. Especially with the more rare "mirrored" glass.
I've passed up about 4 sets over the last six months at the local JYs. If you can cover the cost and shipping I will snag a set for you next time there's one available. Almost tempted to get myself some as I will be going two door when my body beat to hell.
Off next week so today is the first day of "Project Jeep Week". Of course it is going to be the lousiest week possible as far as rain goes. Got the driver's door panel and vapor barrier off. Managed to get the new door check in. Wire trick from the guy who did the write up I read was a good idea. He said he used pliers to get the pin in. I found using my next to smallest pry bar, sticking the pin in as far as it would go, lining everything up, and hitting the pry bar with a hammer got it in on the first shot. Door opens and closes nice now. Started scoping out how I am going to deal with the Dynamat. Cleaned up everything and started to make my first cut and it started sprinkling. On a rain delay at the moment. Going to be a rough week.
Started prepping the new-to-me rearend. Cleaned it up, shot it with Rustolium, and installed the extended brake line. Gonna get it into the jeep now with stock gears, just gonna rebuild the brakes and possibly throw in some new leaf springs.
CF wheeling trip coming up. Hopefully I'll have time/funds to regear everything before then, but if not at least I won't be rolling on the D35!

Nice!
You're doing the Hidden Falls trip, eh? Awesome, anyone else going that you know of? CF needs to represent, LOL
I'd like to see a CF event for KOH...I think that would be awesome...
