hello, new to CF, been lurking for a few months. Just wanted to say thanks for the great info. I was litterally days away from crushing my 89 larado that had been sitting for 11 years. I blew the head gasket and warped the head. After 2 shops (1 being the stealership) and $3500 later, i couldnt just scrap it and was outta cash. Then life happened. New house, kids, open heart surgery..... Anyway, my bro-in-law "totalled" his 96 countrty. i said i wanted it sight unseen for the motor. when i recieved it i found out that the front fender was dented, front clip cracked, and the axle mount for the lower control mount was bent hardly any damage at all. while I waited for the insurance to do their thing, i started to lurk, figuring out what parts to swap. CRUSIER54 if i ever meet you im gonna buy you some beers! Your renix info was invaluable. $10 dollars in parts and 40 miniutes of work and the 89 is purring like a kitten. $45 for Rusty's LCA mounts and the 96 is legal again. Im the happiest **** in town thaks to you guys!
All in all, Im under $500 to get both jeeps running/puchased and registered! sorry for the long post just hella excited to wheel again!
Today I reinstalled my headliner in my 89 after duing the fiberglass resin/bedliner trick

Ignition Switch
Finally had it with the intermittent Jeep start that's been plaguing it for the past few weeks so I had a new ignition switch installed. So far so good.

Prescott is great. Spent some time between Chipotle's and Starbucks and saw 3 modded XJs drive by. No rust! Never have to leave that one mall LOL

Bumper
It came with the XJ when I bought it. I always wanted to add the bar across the top, but had to wait till I got my winch to make it the way I wanted it. I was on some one else's build thread that had the exact same bumper. He told me he got it from these guys; Logan's metal products

Quick question for you guys, I broke down and bought a real Hi Lift brand Jack after getting fed up with another crappy HF farm jack and was curious what you guys use to lube them? I installed my rear tire carrier yesterday and since it came with the mount, I mounted it on the outside. White lithium? Chain lube? I assume something waterproof is best...

I sat and I stared at my 94 ZJ wondering how the heck I'm gonna fix it. Then I had some coffee. Gotta love hour cuts at the job
