Wife had the front seats redone as the leather on the driver side was pretty cracked/worn.

Did plugs on the motorcycle today then ordered plugs for the jeep. Will be doing a full service soon it needs it!
May I suggest then that you remove the UBJ nut and be ready
just being nice and helpful
I remove the UBJ, tie rod end, brake caliper, sway bar link etc
for what time it takes me to remove them I'm ahead of anyone trying to fight their way installing them with things attached

That is beautiful. :favorites13:
thoroughly cleaned the garage yesterday. move a bunch of stuff into the storage tent to maximize my space. It's time; new brakes, all new bushings up front, new inner and outer tie rods, clean and paint everything. Tired of staring at the pile of parts on the shelf, calling my name. Plus I'm done (ab)using it with the plow to push and pile mulch.
Also got the car back on the road about a week ago. A day with the 5# sledge, a piece of 2x2 iron stock, lots of aggression mitigation
, and about 50' of welder wire and everything lined back up where it should. It looks like a 90 year old ****** under the fender, but with the fender and grille on you don't notice a thing... well other than the fact the fender and grille are red and the rest of the car is blue. for $45 for the fender though I'm not going to complain, since I got paid $2040 for the accident.

It was $800 total for both front seats and we're very happy with the results. A little pricey maybe but we got such a good deal on the Jeep that we still have a lot less in it than the others that we looked at (most of which weren't Limited editions and had cloth seats and steel wheels) and the seat wear was really the only thing "wrong" with it.
Wish I had taken a before picture!

Unless you wanted to join in the fun on the photography conference I was attending, there wasn't much downtime.
Do you live near downtown? I get down there every now and then... mainly go out to do a little street/architecture photo'ing.
pulled it in, jacked it up, pulled the wheels off, pulled the driver's side apart. Control arm is out. replaced the inner and outer tie rods. I don't have that magic clamping tool to reattach the the boot to the rack so i'll see if I can con the alignment shop into doing it for me. tried to remove the bushings myself... yea that's a total fail. I'll pull the passenger side apart tomorrow and take the control arms and my bushings over to a local shop and have them do the deed.
On a sad note... I ****** up something. I raised the front AND the rear of the jeep with the garage door open. I completely forgot, I hadn't cut the drop bar flush like I did on the old garage doors and openers. I shoved the the roof right into it pretty good, and not knowing I had it dragged about 5" along the roof before the opener decided there was "excess tension." didn't puncture the roof thank god, but it scraped it down to bare metal and it's creased pretty good. guess I'll be trying the ol' heat gun and ice cube trick. Also started researching DIY bed liners to do the roof with. thinking of going with something called U-POL RAPTOR.

Oh they did reuse the back section with the pocket but there was nothing wrong with that part. Everything else was replaced with leather.
Hopefully you can find a good place as well.

Turned 179k today arty36:
Had the AC on all day. Ice cold immediately even though I seldom use it. Humid and 92F after work. Noticed a bit of a clunk upon AC clutch engagement but only at idle and not everytime. Hopefully it was normal or just my imagination. :favorites68:
