    Rough cut lumber fencing

    I'd like to make a picket fence area for my small dog, Holly. I'm considering different styles and considered using rough cut lumber for the pickets with pressure treated 4x4 posts and cross members. Can anyone offer insight or advice on this? Thanks.

    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.

    My original soft top will need to be replaced in the next few years. I’m thinking of picking up a used hardtop instead. My 97 SE has a 2.5 4 cylinder with a 5 speed transmission. Any thoughts on this concerning weight? I take the soft top down in the spring and put it back up in the fall. This...
