Drove him totally without any balkiness, problems of any kind, through the second miserable metro Chicago cold period and three winter snows, to date.

Superb vehicle, '96 Sport is a true champ!

Made a base adapter and put a 98 Ford Fusion seat in the jeep. Fits great and much more comfortable than the worn out stock seat. Uses the factory track for slide adjustment and the seat has lumbar/recline function.

Just need to go get the matching passenger seat.

I found out I have mutant rats in the garage. Big enough to make this happen.

Unfortunately, I have an addiction to green Snap-on tools. So pretty much everything is green... I even have a green Snap-on ice cream scooper, bottle opener and pizza cutter. Yes I have problems.

That I do not. I got too good of a deal on my current box to pass it up. Its blue, the last color I wanted. But I have run out of room in it and a green one will be next. Just not looking forward on spending 4k on something that I cant drive!

Nothing wrong with that! Some of the Milwaukee stuff has been blowing away the Snap-on stuff. I am really impressed with the 1/2" cordless impact. Might have to get one since they are like half the price of a Snap-on. Might also need to check out there boxes (if they come in green). I like my Snap-on but if I can get the same thing for way less, why not?
