Lol why do you say that? Id rather have folding mirrors, I peeled the sheetmetal back on my half doors from having solid mirrors.

Folding mirrors= good mod

Has to worth the money right?

To replace my last repair of this JB Weld held for a while:

Picked up new TB gasket, an oil filter adapter seal and a T60 socket.

Took the studded tires off the '99 today. My summer tires aren't ready yet though. Gotta pressure wash the mud out of them and have them balanced, and that won't happen until payday (gonna be a long 2 weeks). To get by, I stole the wheels off the '95. They're the base small ones (P215/75R15) and kinda crusty ugly, but they'll work for now!

The '95 is sitting on cinder blocks in the front, one old snow tire and the donut in the rear.

Sold my stock seats for $20 that i was going to throw away.

Installed some adhesive heat shielding above my muffler and on the top of the floor pan so i dont melt or burn things anymore.

Buttoned my exhaust back up and finally installed a hanger so that everything is nice and tucked up with a good mount. ( I had to cut the mount at the transmission, hopefully i dont need another mount)

After almost a year of ripping my exhaust off 3 different times and halfway repairing it with a clamp and bailing wire, it is fixed.

How well does that heat shielding work? I'm planning on picking up some made by Thermo-Tec. Does it stick well to the bottom of the Jeep?

I took a wire wheel on my grinder and went to town on the spot where it was supposed to stick to under the jeep. It feels like it stuck pretty well, i didnt drive it or let it get hot today.

Alright cool, if you get the chance, report back about how well it keeps the heat off!

Nice, but honestly those tires are pretty bad. I once say a thread on here of a guy blaming those tires in a factor of rolling his jeep during a bad rain storm around a corner.
