Everything is bolt on, and it works, and is relatively affordable. I get it, and I don't even own a Jeep. I need to move some place warmer so I can have an excuse to buy another Wrangler and leave the top and doors off year round.
Not only is the parts bolt on and generally works great, but they are VERY easy to find.

Jeeps are like 350 Chevy engines, everyone makes parts for them.

the main reason everyone makes parts for them is because they are always breaking to begin with......both Chevy's and Jeeps......:icon_rofl::icon_rofl::icon_rofl:

seriously though, nice work and can't wait to meet ya at Dirty Turtle in a couple weeks.....

I haven't got a chance to update in a while. Been busy with other things.

I got more work done on my 8.8 swap. I sold the rear axle out of my Jeep so I had to get started on the 8.8.

Old axle out.





Locker in the 8.8.




Front doors removed. Hopefully this keeps me from having to replace doors or door glass again.

The rears will probably come off before my next trip out.

and just when and where are you planning to go????

l8r, John
We was talking about going this weekend, but I have a training class on Saturday from 9-5. It will probably be another week or so anyway before I can get the rear in and the front gears swapped.

We were talking about going to Badlands or Interlake next trip.


make some of these
Shoot, those restrict too much view :icon_twisted:

Nah, now you get to worry about catching your back doors and tweaking your B pillar :icon_twisted:

I did enjoy wheeling with the doors off in my '87, but my B pillars (and leading edge of the rear doors) caught quite a bit of damage.

Keep up the good work!
