I'm not sure what the going rate is at Crazy Ray's for a hatch. Now that I think about it...maybe it would be better to have it repaired. I don't know anything about body work but if I paid 100 for a hatch, I'd still have to swap it over, get the glass tinted, swap the locks and hope there is no damage with it. I'll post up pictures to see what everyone thinks.
Rear Hatch Assm. Van or APV.......................... 64.98 ...........2.00
I have done my fair share of bodywork and from what I am seeing I would replace it.....looks like it is creased all the way up to the glass.
I would take the glass out of the old one and put it in the JY one...if you can find one that color.

That's kind of what I was thinking. I'll keep driving it until I find a hatch in the right color. Or I'll get lucky and find a body guy that can do the work for under 200.

Alright, after talking with Dukie I'm going to pull the trigger on a HD SYE. I'm having a hard time deciding based on reviews and quality. Anyone want to give their opinion? They are very close $ wise, I just want to choose the best one for the $. If anyone knows of a cheaper place to get any of these let me know.
PORC $175.88 shipped
Rugged Ridge $159.00 shipped
Advanced Adaptors $224.00 shipped

Had a good time on my way home. Took the long way--a "shortcut" down a dirt road that actually adds several miles to my trip. I'm just glad the road turned to pavement when it did, cause I would've swung right around that corner and into a tree if there wasn't so much friction. Ah well, it was fun. then as soon as I hit the highway, a state trooper clocked me at 85, so I took the first road off and drove up 3 miles on back streets before re-entering the highway. Can't beat em every time, but it sure is satisfying when I do
And I rolled 150,000 this morning!
Tomorrow I'm headed down to VA again to get my new new springs. Anyone need anything while I'm there?
Oh, and in other news, I came home from work to find my thermostat set at 77 degrees. I keep it at 66 cause I'm having issues with the power company. I warned her not to touch it again.... Now it's set at 60 and I locked the removable faceplate in my gun box.

I have plastic leaf spring liner left over from my bastard pack build for sale. It's dual lipped "H" liner, 2.5" wide.
For reference I used 18' for my 4 leaf pack including waste, full length.
$43 for 25 feet (actual 25'-8" +/-) shipped / $38 picked up.
PM me for paypal information and to reserve a roll.

What exactly does the liner do? Make your springs quieter? Or make them slide against each other easier for better flex? Once you go through a mud hole and get dirt and mud packed in there won't these just get all packed with debris?

slide against one another for better flex. I thought about the mud thing also, so I cut the channel off the one side, and plan on mounting them with the remaining channel down so water/mud can escape.
