I have those same lug nuts (in SAE) and the fit the openings in my procomp wheels but didn't fit in the OEM Ravine wheels.

Test them out before zipping them on with an impact or something.

Good quality, no sign of rust after 3-1/2 years.

I finally completed my next project installing the 4 white seat belts, front and back. It was pretty simple to do. I also heavily stained protected them 24 hours before the install which was kind of messy so, I laid down plastic drop sheets. I experimented with various shoulder pads before deciding on the tan ones.

Parked the Jeep at my mates place in torrential rain yesterday and noticed wet carpet when I went to come home 🤬
Had to pull the cowl off and the bed rug today as I ended up with wet feet….no debris in the vents so maybe it was just the heavy rain 🫤

Something doesn't compute

and also noticed it said once applied, cannot be removed ! I bet it will come off if sand blasted or you take a sanding disc to it !

I saw a thing on the inet where a guy cut a hole in the firewall so he could replace the core from the front side. If i ever used the hsater i would consider it.

Doesn't sound that "permanent" to me, but maybe my reading comprehension isn't so good...

Cheese and Rice! That 5min job of putting in new door hinge bushing turned into 2hrs later and me giving up. Busted the first one going in. Decided to drop the door in. Was tight. Now cant get the door off. Moved my truck out of the garage. Took a battery cable of.

I remember Fred Williams saying that Jeeping is fun.

Doing mine a year ago took me pretty much all day … I’d try for a couple hours, then give up for an hour then return to it…
I ended up putting my Jeep in in the sun to expand the metal and the Delrin bushings in the fridge to help shrink it slightly then a bit of marine grease helped but not much.
Now they are in I applied a bit of that same grease to the pin so it slides out fairly easily.

Jeep was sitting in the sun. I'll try out the freezer thang on the bushings. Thanks for that.
