good 3 hours of pillage today.  only 3 tjs and 3yjs in the yard.  no XJs, sad face.
didn't have the ambition to tackle the burb and found the mid seat isnt what i want.  i should grab some door cards and belts though.  that burb interior is mint.   picked up a set of complete TJ hard doors for Matt to sell also.  100$ bill got me todays plunder.  winning.  most all installed on the LJ tonight.

my list is ambitious:

TJ:
Gas cap
Front drive shaft
Rear lift Shocks
Front tubular lca
Front bumper
Windsheild/glass
Driver hard door mirror
Driver hard door inside handles
Both outside hard door handles
Rear view mirror
Center consol plastic
Shifter knob Trans

Spare tire mount
Front marker lights
Front marker light harnesses
Tailgate latch cover
Coolant tank cap
Headlight bucket pass side plastics

carpets grey
broken hard TJ top to make LJ half cab?

90s burb
middle seat
belts
door cards
carpet

rear corners and sliders on the way to start thanks to Joe's full hydro install labor

hopefully that pair of green TJ doors from the yard to Matt will pay for some front tube fenders and we will be rolling!

[M4wdFab]

preped and rusty primered all rust areas.  95%will be removed or covered with armor

pulled all carpet and roll bar padding. 

cut roll bar

front broken glass removed tonight


i think its going to look great like a truck

probably should have just called a glass guy but i kinda want to learn this process

remove a glass pane from yard, clean it.  that saves me 160$ and was basically free. 

remove broken glass from jeep, clean frame. 

not sure if inner gasket is re usable, but i cut it in a few places meh.

need new inner and new outer gasket, urethane sealant?, possibly primer?

each gaskets and a tube of sealant is 25$ each,



i guess it be 300$ to call a glass guy?  i put in a quote request for ray sands to install used pane with new seals, see what they come back at.  if its like 150$ or less i probably go that route

Have them do it for you, watch and take notes

[M4wdFab]

i could just got to home depot and get a 9$ tube of roof and window sealant, use the old inner and outer seals, and get what i get on the cheap lol 

[M4wdFab]

rear shocks, front brakes and some axle seals on the way from Rockauto.  they had the missing hood catch piece for 10$ too!

I'm a little jealous of this...
always liked this lj and lj's in general

[M4wdFab]

moved tonight, new radio installed doesn't power up, sad face


harness had a gazillion crimp splices so not supersizing. 

[M4wdFab]

day 3 on this

front pads and rotors changed
swapped out a stuck front passenger caliper
replaced a missing lift kit lower control arm

added wheel spacers, mustang GT wheels, fresh 35" Maxxis SCR tires

[M4wdFab]

lowes trip yielded a 10oz tube of goo that says its adhesive for many things including glass and metal, so for 9$ i gave it a wherl and stuck the old glass seals back in and glued it in.

tips on internet:  cut caulk tip in a "V" and cut a 1/4"x1/4"x1" chunk of rad hose rubber and place at bottom of channel to help glass center and not sag to bottom while drying.   i guess the idea is to have the pane relaxed, centered, and not touching anything hard to keep it in one piece.


bam, 9$ fix
