I made a box out of MDF panels and covered it with vinyl similar to my seats. I looked great before I tore my Jeep apart...one thing though, my passenger seat pivots forward to gain access to the area behind the seat. I originally put the box directly under the factory radio and the seat would...

You got a point on full-points resto...that is not what I am after. I have changed a few things already and plan to do a few more to make her more reliable. Thanks for all your insight. Oh, the Triumph is a car, by the way, check out my posting from tonight on "taking the body off Bessie". I...

This is a bit off-topic but a legitimate progress report (ha-ha). I have not done much to Bessie this past week other than strip a used tailgate I bought. A friend of mine is helping me with some of the body work and paint. I had a prior commitment to finish before jumping into the painting...

Thanks for the quick reply, it helped. Sorry, I don't remember the set that I put in the suspension. It was several years ago, not long after I got her, and I didn't put much effort into finding them (probably a poly set offered by a local parts store??). I will consider the Daystar poly...

I was in slight error in my last post. There is no ground at the primary end of the harness, there are dedicated grounds for each lamp. I also went ahead and took some pics. "Harness" shows the overall view. The one called "sockets" shows the three sockets. Note there are two females with...

Hey, in regards to losing lights. Most modern cars are relay driven that I have worked on, that's how they get by with the pretty but flimsy switches on the dash. Anyway, if you buy or build a harness like I got (the victoria british link above) you really don't have to worry too much about...

Hey, all. I was going to let this one go but I saw a few more posts. Qudratec has the stock set (with the OEM flanged tubes) for $80 (part 55008.00). It is rubber, not poly, but looks exactly like what is under mine. It does not come with bolts or washers but I have checked this at the local...

Hey, here is my 2 cents worth. By "new" tub, do you actually mean a new tub? If so I have heard the coating they put on many new replacement parts is not great and should be removed (not sure on whole tubs though). If you mean that you have a tub that is new to you, I would not recommend...

Thanks again. I have a question about using them. Are either of you running an automatic tranny? I ask becuase I have a bit of a concern about the linkage being long enough to accomodate the body being raised an inch. I have already removed the connection to the shifter during my teardown so...

steering and fuse block firewall seals? Hey, all. When I tore my Jeep down there were two thin rubber gaskets/seals that were in bad shape at the firewall. One was behind the inside half of the fuse block and the other was behind the 2-piece plate that supports the steering column at the...

Oh, Joe. I compressed them (originals were over 1meg each) so let me know if you need any specific ones at a larger size to see detail. Sincerely,

Hey, Joe. I am emailing about 40 pics in the next few minutes. Let me know if they make it. I am breaking it up into two emails. Sincerely,

I will send what I have, it might be tomorrow before I email them. I should have a couple dozen pictures of what mine looks like. I took them so I can get it all back together after this semi-restore I am doing. It seems pretty much stock, a bit of odd tape here and there that may or may not...

Thanks, all. Hey Craner8, what exactly did you purchase? I went to the website, nice by the way (one to save for my work), but I couldn't find anything like the clips I was looking for. If you can give me a catagory or part number it would be greatly appreciated. Happy Thanksgiving to all...

Ok, thanks guys. One inch aint much in "stock looks" (and I am trying to keep it looking that way)...where do I get them? I appreciate it! Happy Thanksgiving. Sincerely,

Hello, this is what I did. I was in the middle of restoring my Triumph Spitfire and came across these from one of the parts suppliers. I purchased the Euro headlights and the harness, which has a relay included. After it arrived I looked at my Jeep and said, "#%##*" it is the same headlight...

Anyone have suggestions on a good body mount bushing kit for an '8? The normal parts places I use don't seem to be complete kits (no flanged steel tubes). Are all the aftermarkets done differently than OEM, and if so, how well do they perform? Are they complete with inner steels or do they...

By the way, this is my third auto tear-down. My first was when I was a teenager (a '70 Beetle). My Dad had to finish putting it back together...one of those things you look back on with embarassment. My second project was/is a Triumph Spitfire I took apart in 2002. It is finally coming...

I'd be more than happy to help if I can. I do not have a great short-term memory so I am taking 100's of photos as I go so I can put her back together. Hopefully I can help when you are going through this...by the way, so far it has been a pretty easy tear-down. Rust has been to only thing...

Thanks much to both of you. I will drill and tap it level after I put everything back together. I just wasn't sure if I would need to weld a boss or standoff first. I was getting ready to prep the rollbar for paint and thought that would be a waste if I had to weld to it later. Thanks again...
