I agree with you on the preferences and the squeaks/harshness. I've owned two Corvettes (C4 and C5) and two Jeep Wranglers (80 CJ5 and 99 TJ). I also drove a friend's C6 and my C5 back to back on a road course. Admittedly, the C6 is way more of a badass with 80 more HP and better tuned...

Sorry for your loss but the Vette is fun to own as well. I would suggest getting into a C5 or older. Corvettes had hidden headlights for 41 years and still should. Cool factor goes way up with hidden headlights (as long as they are working properly). I have an '04 LeMans Commemorative...

I used a friend's forklift and stuck the forks under the roll bars. The hardest part was befriending someone with a forklift. I set the body on a cheap 4x8 trailer and rolled the chassis on a 16 foot flatbed utility trailer and took both home in two trips.

I have one for you. It's yours for the asking. I bought it for my '99 and it didn't fit. How do you want me to get it to you?

I just finished a body off rebuild of my '99 and in the process, I was surprised at how short the OEM wheel studs were. I always thought you should have available threads equal to one and one-half times the diameter of the bolt. I don't think my OEM studs were equal to one times the diameter...

Did you find one? What year is your Jeep?

Thanks Goatman. You were right - easy peasy. It’s all back together and I took it on it’s maiden drive last night after bleeding the brakes.

OK, I have been following several posts on various forums. I bought a '99 Sahara that had terrible rust and made the damn fool decision to save it. It was a borderline decision but I ended up doing a body off restoration and I'm better than half way through. Actually it is therapy for me and...

I’m doing a body off frame repair. It was a borderline decision to either repair or replace the frame. I’m comfortable with the decision to repair as I hit strong metal on the frame in the critical areas. I probably erred on the side of overkill. I took the body off, had the frame sandblasted...

I agree. Address it now. I'm working on one of those TJs that should have been sold for Jeep parts. Apparently I can't walk away from a challenge. Both sides of the frame were rusted out as well as the frame channels on the body. I suspect, judging by the first and second picture, your...
