Awwww, just put the clip on the handle then push the handle onto the shaft. Works every time.
You can just put that clip in place on the windows crank before you mount it on the spline then just give it a little tap so that the clip seats itself into its little groove on the spline

Sorry I should have read the above posts before I replied they explained it much better and simpler than I did

I think keeping the chrome and installing halo lights are a cool addition imo, the chrome bezels would complement the darker headlight accents which I might do

Can you take a wide photo? Is that white painted center cover on your dash?

No problem! It's actually silver but they picture did make it look white. This isn't much better unfortunately.
Poppy got new wheels and tires, a 2” lift and her fog lights hooked up. Next comes new soft top (arrives tomorrow), LED headlights and LED fog lights.

Fingers crossed my Brown Dog engine brackets and mounts will finally show up tomorrow so I sprayed down the bolts on the engine brackets and motor mounts with Kroil today to help loosen those puppies up.
I also got the transmission bolts out and while under there poked my finger up in the frame and found my cruise control vacuum canister was flopping around loose. I ended up taking the battery and tray out to get in and bolt it back on. While I was under the hood I replaced the air filter.
Man I'm enjoying working on this so far!

What kind of condition was the frame in before the sandblasting? I had wondered how well that would work.
Wait are you media blasting and coating the undercarriage?
Do you happen to have before pictures and dare I ask how much that set you back?

Storage is always an issue in the damn TJ.
I was strapping my boxes and compressor down in the back, along with a cooler and backpacks. Then on top of that I’d have to load in the bag with the soft upper doors and windows (never know in Florida when it will rain).
I always thought that there had to be a better way. Then while I was in Maine, I saw that my father had an Olympic products storage rack and it dawned on me that I could put the boxes and cooler on the rack, and slip the bag of doors and windows underneath it. Duh.
I went searching for the best price, and I don’t know how it happened but the stars aligned and I found a crazy Amazon deal.
Regular price:
Crazy deal price:
I finally got around to start installing it last night. I removed the rear seatbelts, which will allow me to mount the rack very low, just above the fender wells. I can keep the braces that span the rollbar in all the time, and install the rack (just four bolts) when we go wheeling.

101 degrees outside. Just got off the freeway. That has been the norm for her.
I ran the codes......... its the dreaded missfire number 4. With pending multiple misfires. And pending missfire cylinder 2. Looks like i need to go through everything and clean it up. Hopefully i won't have to rotate the exhaust valves. Damn 97's.
