I thought that is what they sold Bronco's for (I would LOVE to have an early one). Since I surf fish, the hatchback is good for sun protection, throw a towel over the glass and you are good to go.

Hey guys. I'm going to tackle a transfer case drop this morning. Any advice or things I should look to avoid? It seems pretty straight forward. Thanks in advance.

yea I also disagree with this. Find a small shop, family owned or something that needs repeat business, and you'll be fine. Stay away from the big shops that just want your money.

( btw, the pic of Anya is from before i painted her blue, so that explains the off-looking liftgate )

so how hard would it be, and would it be worth it?
you're looking at LOT of work to make that work, for very little gain IMO.

From now on, I'll use the glass guy here at work, he beats everyone's prices by a bunch, he owns his own company and he's a great guy.
dude...I used the glue kits from wallyworld before...$3 and it's still up there. It's all about prep.

He will be down the street from me when he gets back. I took mine to Morgans towing, they were fair on my ZJ's inspection (Aug/11) And as I said I had suspension, exhaust and offroad lights on mine and it passed
