Replaced the dried out valve cover grommets and fittings, but kept the old fittings as spares.

Found these on CL portland.
Called, made a full price offer ($500.00) and seller claimed I was the first person to follow his directions when replying.
He is an old grumpy coot just like me.
He graciously allowed me the privilege of buying them from him.
It was a 5 hour drive one way, and old boy and myself hit it off.
He ended up giving me two uppers, and what looks like factory slider windows that fits into the fabric of the upper.
Way too freaking cool!
Now, once I buy my armor, I'll paint it body color along with the half doors.

Score!!! Here's to "old grumpy coots"!!!
Looked at the same ones! Just couldn’t make the drive. Glad you got em!
I've been searching for a reasonably priced set for awhile. Everything just seemed to "align" perfectly, and I feel lucky to have ended up with them.
Gotta find mirrors and lock cylinders, then paint. That will be the falls winter project...
By the way, these have tan liners and I need black. Anyone have black liners at a reasonable price?
39 1/2” I want to put the tow hooks on and I would have liked at least 3” more at each end. Those lights are getting in the way.
Ordered the JJ tools and Red Line lube for the new Savvy kit before it goes in.
Many say they're already lubed but some have reported it's minimal. I don't play in clay (that I know of) but Rauch Creek does have a weirdly reddish mud in spots and I'm no dirt expert.
My build has time so why not... I'll need the tools eventually anyway.

Did a bunch today. Got the hooks for the doors installed in the garage. Installed 5.25 speaker in the dash and wired up the front LED cubes to my voswitch.
Just watch where the window frame meets up with the door above the door latch. Mine have both cracked and that's only from me carrying them around and up/down stair in/out of previous apartments. Both mine have cracked there and have small (visible) rust. Mine lived on the Jeep's latches or on the floor in the apartment(s)/garage) when off the Jeep otherwise.
I'd assume hanging them from the frames can accelerate or exacerbate this.

Interesting. I’ll keep an eye on it. Thanks for the heads up, hadn’t heard anything before
Couple of many pics of rusts I took to address on the heep...
Driver is worse than pass but both show the wear and emerging rust.
Agree totally, I’d never hang a door that way , weakest spot is stressed.
Took my grandson out to eat with the top off….he loved it. So did I. Calls me Dandy.

Will keep an eye on it. At least I have two hangars per door so it isn’t just on one spot. Seen a lot of people do it this way but will definitely make sure nothing is happening to them and try to see if there’s a better way to hang them. Don’t really have any other option but to hang them in the garage so any other options would be appreciated
Find a set of body hinges and mount them to a 2x4 mounted to the wall, one for each door, that's what I am working towards.
Just stack some wood blocks on the floor to catch some of the weight.
Did a pre-pack of most all the camping supplies, we are camping in Townsend TN for the Smokey Mountain Jeep Invasion. So I just did a test pack and will have plenty of room for everything, especially since I am also using a receiver hitch hauler also.

Thanks, I think we have some extra wood lying around somewhere and I will set those up. Much appreciated for the help, definitely don’t wanna ruin my doors
my previous Jeep had a set of half doors so I never really had to deal (and lived at my parents so lots of garage space ha)
Changed my left front caliper, used Saran Wrap under the reservoir lid....so my fluid would not dump . Worked great .
