It's such a great feeling lol
What I do is I put an ice scraper in between the hatch and the right tail light and it keeps the thing propped up

I use a broke off broom handle to hold my hatch open. I really need to replace the struts.

That or just get/build a nice beefy bumper and run them over.

I've heard of people in Wranglers and XJs with beefy bumpers hitting deer at 55 and not having any damage other than some blood and fur.
Same thing happened to me coming off the highway. Deer ran right across didn't cross my beams until minute since I was coming round a turn. Got lucky I was goin slow enough to brake cause I'm not sure how a stock bumper would of handled a hit

Replace what was left of the headliner because the previous owner had ripped the cloth off cause if sagged i would asssume. Put a 99 headliner in my 94, looks great, well better the the old liner thats for sure. Has the speaker pods in it just like the 94 liner had so it was a pretty straight forward deal, just out with the old and in with the new. It's kinda funny though cause the sun visors have warning labels for airbags that don't exist.

Thank you very much, I take that as a real complement. You are the forth one to ask me that. This took me by surprise, I would not mind doing that for anyone but let me finish these and show you the cost and pictures make sure you like them and go from there. If thats Ok?
