All three of those are junk...lol actually I work with Dells on a daily basis and most of them are pretty solid. I'm a Lenovo guy, personally, or custom build. Interesting work there hacking up the cowbox.

Yeah but HP/Compaq is what makes me money. Really that's all i care about in terms of whats junk and whats not. I've never heard the term "cowbox".

Every pre-'97 i see has some piece of paper or whatever jammed in that vent. Then most have switches/panels hacked into some spot where it doesnt look right. This will eliminate both problems and look mostly factory when im done. I'm happy w it.

EDIT: Is cowbox the word you MEANT to use???

Actually, this is what I meant by cow box. Perhaps I'm showing my age here.



Around the same time that this guy was around.. LOL



But, back to topic, looking forward to seeing the final result.

I remember that guy! And I got the cowbox reference. Running through the fields to deliver them to customers...

I cleaned some of the fiberglass off my new soundbar today. Gonna need to sit down and figure out how to fit and mount it.

I've heard of people in xjs getting lights flashed or a wave from tj tj owners but I never have and I pass a bunch were I live. Maybe if I wave first lol. I always flick lights at other xjs though. One night I could see the head lights coming and we both flashed lights same time.
Edit: then again I live in eastern Pa which is full of snob dbs

yeah its weird...i have 2 95's, BOTH of them have the floppy vent, both have 195K. Then i have a 93 w 210k, that one the vent stays just fine, but i dont have working AC in any of them, so i literally NEVER use the "vent" setting anyways.

Washed it. Last few weeks of winter were tough all the salt, mud and crap was caked up everywhere. Now I'm going to pull out driver seat and weld bracket.

No floppy vents in both 94's I've had.

Just looked at her. Told her were moving again so prepare to get loaded down again.
