Spot on. The side windows from the s-10 just didn't work. So I had to go back for the fords. Unfortunately they don't open like chevys did, but it's all good. If you can find a box body s-10 it would work. We've used those before. Now to wait on the jy to get a Comanche in. I'm letting the seam sealant set up overnight, then paint tomorrow.

The new recovery gear we ordered in November arrived today.
We already have 2:1 and 3:1 setups as well as twin, 50,000 lb carabiners.

Default Tie Rod Upgrade/Replacement

Been having some shaking in the front end lately at highway speeds.
Installed Rough Country HD Tie Rod, and new tie rod ends. This thing is seriously heavy duty. https://www.roughcountry.com/jeep-he...-rod-1143.html

Recently, inner front axle seals, front axle u joints, new tie rod ends, new drag link, got the AC working, heat working, new swaybar bushings, sway bar disconnects from RC, transfer case drop kit, new bushings on the transmission cable, some interior pieces, now I am pretty sure I need to put new bearings in the front pinion, which I will not be doing myself. Lot's and lots of work for this old mud truck that needs a ton of love. Trying to turn this beater into a fun little daily/overlander.

Here's a pic of the day I brought it home, all the stickers are gone now.

Very common occurrence. Best to switch to an LED (both front and rear) before it happens. Those OEM bulbs get HOT.

John "Kerry" Mellencamp and "The Boss" (joke joke) are like two peas in a pod.

Reckon I lucked out. Only thing died on mine was the switch. Lens , housing ,and wiring were fine. Got a single pole/single throw rocker switch from Auto Zone.
