Yup I think we can call this officially derailed. Good luck with your Bartacts or whatever route you go. I haven't had much issue with the tread pattern imprinting on my arm BUT my Maine Summers are much different then your Texas Summers so heat might be an issue.

Not able to get pictures from my jeep since it is currently getting new frame sections welded on. But here is a clip from the manual. The hinge is just that small bar with a eclip. If you take the seat out for any reason you have to pull that clip and risk losing it. Also you will have the...

It is about as good as the OEM seats. But I am not a big fan of the latching system they used or the seat mounts. I prefer the OEM style.

The couple of items I have had that were smittybilt have done ok in the rust belt of New England. BUT haven't had any smitty armor, just a winch plate and couple of antenna bases. I have had a couple of issues with other brands over the years. Power coat cracks and then salty slurry seeps...

To OP. If you are looking for a console cover it won't match but I have been happy with the wheel tread one they have on quadatrec. It is kind of gimmicky but it has held up over the last three years with even with young kids and dogs using the jeep as jungle gym

Been watching that for a bit now. Wish I had the free funds to go for it. Would have to add close to $300 for gas to get down there.

From the a Northeast jeep owner perspective, honestly if this isn't your jeep or getting it for free walk away. If the frame has that much rust then most of the bolts in the jeep are going to have issues. From working on the suspension to replacing fender's pretty much all of the bolts are...

Keys to the drop zone, PRC-E8, Squelch grease

Better have done it...if not where is your friend? I will go pay them a visit with scotch, beer, pretzels and $1400.

No it was over the phone because the shop is about an hour away and he isn't open when I am not at work. He did give me separate totals for projected labor and parts. My number was just a total.

If you don't want to deal with FB Marketplace maybe some of the Jeep Groups. Could just post to there. Especially some of the groups that are in the Rust Belt

Just got a quote from a local shop for a regear to 5.13. He quoted $2500 unseen included parts, oil, and since I am at almost 200k seals and bearings

I have the same model. That is the whole system minus the antenna and antenna cable. Probably will need to extend the power lines depending on your setup.

Welcome to the show. I am just a bit north of you in Maine. When you get a chance check the inside of your frame especially where the skid plate bolts up. It can be a very sneaky place that rust hides.

That is a pretty frame. Good luck with your trip. Keep the hull side down :)

Occasionally they will pop up on marketplace there is a guy in southern NH that parts out jeeps often. I am needing to replace my driver's side for a second time soon going to follow the @PCO6 method also.

I agree but sometimes close enough is good enough. The area of Maine that will get 100% totality is going to be mobbed. Last time this occurred there were massed traffic snags. People ran out of gas, got stuck in rural dirt roads, It is the beginning of the thaw / mud season up here. There...

My kids school is getting out early so that they can watch the event. Though my work isn't letting me out early so it is a wash. We live in an area of 90%. The amount of people headed up to Rangeley and that area for the 100% is insane.

Local person selling Moab Wheels for $50 but they are pretty scratched up. Is there a way to recondition them? Winter is setting in so if it was just a matter of sanding them with increasing grit I can spend the time doing that. https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/1106084417026296/
