A Simple Build

Yep, that pretty much sums it up. My wife wants to nurture them and coddle them, and I want to give them tough love.

They know they can get away with so much more when it comes to my wife. They don’t mess around with me because they know they’ll actually get in trouble. Of course it doesn’t help that my wife won’t back me up when I am trying to enforce the rules with them.

I know I'm quoting a post that's in the middle of the thread... but I'm so glad I grew up with strict parents. I can imagine it's tough trying to figure out what is best.

My mom was the "softer" of the two, but my dad was pretty strict growing up. I remember thinking about how all my friends had "cool" parents letting them do whatever they want. Well a lot of those friends ended up in jail, pregnant with kids from 3 different fathers, have shitty dead end jobs today, etc. Looking back I'm glad my parents were hard on me, and I think it's a big reason why I have more respect for them today.

Yes, you have a point there. I guess I'm just in that Arizona mindset of when would I ever use them? But you're right, during long trips I'm sure they make a big difference

Hard to sell the silver jeep without doors though

Maybe I need to hunt for some silver doors, or some khaki half doors (which are impossible to find!).

Then the fun begins after those doors, you get into New Jersey, get your audio installed, and then some guy named Vinny will bring you to a warehouse full of goodies. Looks like a Chinese cargo ship was robbed.

Here you go, not that far. And you don’t need those full doors. Only PNW folks need them (like me).

Calling on these now. If they are in good shape this would be just what I need to make things easier.

Then are you selling your others?

They want $900 for them

Seems a bit steep, no?

Very much so,

if they are perfect and they are shipping cross country then maybe

He says they are in nice condition but I would be a fool to think they are perfect.

Probably just easier to find a set of silver full doors and swap the silver half doors onto mine and paint them.

Thought you were considering a wrap anyway.

Yep, that’s more likely what I’ll do. Cheaper and easier.

Good news on this one. My American Racing Headers are finally done being built! Took a hell of a long time, but they are finally done. Can’t wait to put these bad boys on.

From what others have said, the headers alone totally open up the 4.0

Didn't even know those existed, I like the concept. Fine work as usual.

Any idea if these work with a savvy tuck?

I hope so

What bumpers are you going to run? And, you're going with 265/75 16 inch tires?
