Well at least this thread is getting some action.

@Alex01 has only borrowed a few parts from the pile so far I think…

Goal for 2024.....
The jeep and wheels will be in the same state.

Kind of like I will loose 20 lbs by summer

Well that escalated quickly…

My buddy drove it from California and had to use the rear view mirror to angle to see the passenger mirror in a snow storm packed to the ceiling.

Apparently I bought a lot more stuff than I remembered.

@Alex01 Would you like to stand up and tell the class what happened to the rear window?

Mike has shitty gas struts that do nothing and I wedged some tape between the top and the window in order to hold it open.

The window shattered into 8 million pieces with 2lbs of downward pressure without removing the tape.

But I installed the headliner prior to the jeep leaving so im sure that canceled out any additional road noise.

Now I know why there are so many rear window replacements for sale on EBay.

Yep. I ordered a new tinted defrost for him.

I even called him with the good news that It'll be delivered next week. He seemed shocked. It was almost like he didnt know he needed one.

Do you mean like this one.


PS: Are there more hidden parts in all those plastic tubs.

PSPS: I have never seen that many jeep parts in place other than at my local 4 Wheel Parts Store.

Good lord, that's a lot of jeep parts in one sitting! Must have been a fun drive with all that stuff rattling around.

Yeah somehow I convinced myself it would be easier to do it all at once…

I can't wait to see how many trips to the auto parts / hardware store it takes to get all the missing/needed screws, bolts, etc. Should we start a pool

How many Youtube Videos are you going to watch on how this stuff is suppose to go together, I hope you don't have too many Savvy Parts because we all know how crystal clear there directions are


All I know from my experience is that one modification leads to another modification, or that something else has be modified.



Or as AOC can say it more clearly than I can

It would have been...in a pickup truck and a trailer

I think he meant the installation and not the transportation

That is definitely a pile of parts. Seeing how you operate, it will be awesome in the end!

[GrinningFool]

Its gonna be an awesome build. I can hardly wait!
