Cleaned up the interior, stapled the headliner up for now, and welded up some breaks in the driver seat frame.







Checked all the fluids, etc. During the cleanup, found the owners manual, spare key, cheap flashlight... and some, uh, medicinal herbs. Lol.




All in all, a pretty good day. She's on the road now. Happy boy.
Is that the Snap On hood? Was looking at one like that...if so, how do you like it?

Hey Roni, Ya that's the one man. I love it, protects good, but sleek enough that I can cram my head under dashes, into 1/4 panels... And the auto lens is definitely one of the better ones I've tried. Had it for about 2yrs now, use the hell out of it, still loving
it.

so far they're a lot quieter than my kos, can't really say a lot since I've only had them one day but definitely happy with them.

Spray a bunch of brakekleen on em, light em up and let it burn off. A hit of compressed air to finish, I've had decent luck with that. Or... buy new ones, lol.

I am so beat from pulling an axle from the junk yard yesterday but I cant go a day without doing something in my jeep. Today I pulled the bumper off and put in a new headlight mounting. The old one was done. Even such a minor thing made me feel so accomplished. I also had to do some repair on the bumper. Nothing some sandpaper and black abs couldnt fix! Might paint it as well this week.



Nice new and straight!





The old ine...RIP LOL
