Home stretch, latest images of bumpers and winch installed. Doors trimmed out. Slowly but slowly. Drove her around the block, it’s been 18 years since I drove her last. We didn’t miss a beat.

Hello, as we are putting all the pieces on, we realized we don’t have a home for one of the jack pieces. Does anyone know where it’s supposed to go? I am sure I am missing something.

Very nice now begins the hunt for an original $800.00 tool kit for the jack handle. It never ends at least we hope not.

This was my solution

 

[Tancruiser]

Yeah but that’s not OEM

Luggage rack is on. Just about done with the majors, just a couple more minors and we can drink a whiskey!

For the decking in the luggage rack we used quartersawn white oak stained with Australian teak oil.

I think your year would have a battery tray like this. One shown is presently on EBay and a bit mislabeled.View attachment 1948208

I would recommend you look at Stainlesstrays.com on top of the factory bracket.

Does anyone have pics of the grab straps that hook onto the hooks by the headliner edge? Also does anyone know if the replacement straps from sor comes with the metal hardware or just the strap. Appears I need the hardware so assuming I need to make it.
