That's not the part I'm talking about. I'm talking about the rubber seal around the three sides of the actual tailgate. #17 in this diagram.

Let's say I just acquired a 06 LJ manual with 195K on the odo. If it's lived that many miles without OPDA failure, should I assume it's fine? I guess there's also the possibility it was done by the previous owners.

I had to replace my tailgate seal, since it was sagging in the middle and preventing me from closing the tailgate properly. The replacement I got from Amazon had 3M adhesive strips, but my tailgate appears to have a channel for the seal to slip into (and it's not in great shape, leading to why...

I'll get back to you on that. Even if this works, I may do that anyhow. Color doesn't matter much since I still have 2 cans of Color Bond. I'm halfway considering doing it in yellow. :D

LOL! It's on the kitchen counter all clamped together right now. A few years back my parents and me and my wife decided to buy a big house and all move in together to avoid retirement community savings grabs, so my mom is the one that won't tolerate that for long. I think I have 24 hours.

I'm going to log my progress in this attempt to repair a broken console lid. The previous owner must have stepped on it or something. It's busted through. They put a rough country cover on it, but I hate the tire tread look, so I bought a new cover that matches my neoprene seat covers. I...

What size bit for drilling the holes, do you think?

I have seen videos about that, and I've got it on my radar. Got to get over the heebie-jeebies about drilling into the frame, LOL.

The frame was perfect (aside from a slight pull we had to fix from the wreck). It was coated with mud, but no rust at all anywhere. Funny story - I sold the old wheels and tires and the buyer told me they were all warped. He put them on as-is and tried to drive with them. He later called me...

I got this poor baby at a reseller for auction vehicles (and paid too much for it, sadly, but it was my first time) just over a year ago. Carfax told me it had been in 3 accidents during its lifetime, but the last one totaled it. As you can see, it took a hit on the driver side front...

A little filing on the contacts, then... I ran the conduit through the holes in the grille right behind those lights and in front of the radiator to the fender wells. PS: Please don't make fun of my huge fender flares. I will be getting offset wheels at some point in the future. :D

I installed a new MF switch with the fog light pullout, put in 2 fuses, checked for the relay (already present, but ordered replacement anyway), bought pigtails for the connectors under the fenders, and....no juice on either side. The indicator on the dash is working. I'm going in with a...

Winter to-do list: Get rear frame member replaced (broken, bad weld, got the new part, need someone to cut it off and weld in the new one) Rear bumper endcaps (waiting for ^) Blower motor resistor Finish color bonding the dash Install new seat bushings Replace the other O2 sensor Spruce up the...

I pulled this piece of crap out of mine last month. Not fun. It had been spliced into the ignition wire, too, with zero slack.

HAHA...inanimate objects conspire to frustrate me. One of my screws is damaged, or at least the integrated washer is damaged. The screwdriver loses track of it when it's so far up that slot. Also, I need three hands to hold it together and keep the stem boots inside their slots while I try to...

If you think getting it off is hard, try getting it back on. I cannot for the life of me get the screws to bite in the upper cover. I'm going to see if I can get slightly longer screws.
