lol I have a drill press and always look for an excuse to use it. Lol

 

Installed Class III/IV Reese rear hitch.
Anybody needing one, Summit Racing has them for $99 with free shipping.

 

Not today but yesterday I took apart the broken center console latch and figured out a way to modify it slightly with an extra piece of metal.

It's needs a little more modification as the new latch still allows the console to open about 1/2" before it catches but the concept seems sound and my console can be latched.

 

Nice, it seems like nobody has a latching center console these days lol

 

I do

 

Well, the way i see it, you either go one of two ways. You either have the tool already and find any project in the world just use it or you go and buy the tool just for that one project and it sits there. #jeeplife bwahahahahahaha

 

So I'm thinking about taking my front doors off soon. Might get some doors without power windows and locks for when i put doors back on so i can eliminate wiring for front doors at least like my wife's tj

 

There's a mod you can do to retain that stuff (if you want). Some ZJs have a massive connector that will accomodate all of the wiring in an XJ door. Go looky for the writeup

 

lol I have fabrication equipment before I started being into jeeps.

 

It would be nice, but i think I'm gonna kick it old school lol

 

It's a worthwhile mod...although it would also be nice to have a second set of doors with no BS...some pics of my mod

 

So you replaced those stupid Torx bolts with hex bolts, I see my next project now.

 

Whenever I have an opportunity to replace torx bolts, I take it. The engineer that invented them needs to be shot. In the face. With a pumpkin slug.

 

But will the door still close? The hex heads stick out farther, they don't touch when the doors are closed and interfere with it closing all the way?

 

Hasn't been an issue...
