    Lumber Storage

    I'm curious what people are doing to store lumber at home. I always buy additional stock when working around the house so I have extra framing lumber, finish & trim boards etc. to be stored. I'd like to make a rack so that things are easily accessed and off of the floor. Thanks for your help.

    I married a Jeep Girl

    Found this pic of Cindy's first vehicle, a 1978 CJ-7. She bought it back in the early 80's just as we started dating. We had it through a lot of years and great times but couldn't keep the rust away. Riding shotgun in this pic is Tasha.

    Hardtop to windshield clamp

    Just picked up a hard top for my ‘97 SE. My buddy had an ’06 with both tops. I had tried to buy the hard top from him several times because he didn’t use it and my soft top was torn. He called me recently and said I could have the hard top for free. His ’06 had been in an accident and totaled...

    Getting a hard top

    I'm picking up a hard top soon for my '97. The top comes from a 2005. Will I need to remove the rubber seal, I think it's called a windshield channel, to secure the hard top? I won't be using the soft top anymore. You can see it on this pic. It's lifting slightly in the center. Thanks.

    Anything else I should take care of while replacing the power steering pump?

    My power steering pump failed on my '97 SE 2.5 with air conditioning. I've ordered a remanufactured pump from NAPA (new models were not available). Is there any other work that you'd take care of while replacing the pump? Thanks.

    Chicago Auto Body Parts

    Has anyone ever bought parts from these guys? They offer body parts and painting services. I've been looking for a rust free fender for a while. A place like this could be great for rust belt guys if their product is good. https://www.chicagoautobodyparts.com

    Let's see your painted drums and calipers

    The drums on my '97 look like hell from living in the rust belt. I plan on doing the brakes and wanted to see what other members have done. I'm considering red, black or gray on the new drums.

I bought full doors on Craigslist a couple years ago for my '97. I had planned on swapping the door locks from my factory half doors to...
