Looks great man!!!

Are those lights in the grille for parking and turn? If yes, sep LEDs for each? Do you remember what you bought?

Just turning, no parking.

Must be sooo fun assembling that thing!!!

Trying to assemble the door mechanism. Ain’t easy. Getting the handle on is tough. Small screw up in corner won’t go in. It’d been a LONG time since I tore these down. @SLOW71? You put yours together. Was it tough?

I'll weigh in, Pat. Ron's probably still wheeling at SSS2021.
It was tough. If I recall correctly, I may have enlisted the smaller hands of my ever patient wife. I know I did that to get the dash pad reinstalled in the 914-6 after that refurb. Or maybe (more likely) the doors were hung at the body shop. (it's been 11 years and the memory is the 2nd thing to go!)

Yes, that screw is just short of impossible. But it is possible.

Those handle mounting bolts for the rear door handle are insane! What a PITA!

 

[landcruisnman]

I'm thinking about getting an allen head(smaller than the factory bolt) metric bolt that fit's it's place.

Just got home and can't add anything to the rest. I closed my eyes and turned into a ninja with a big stash of bandaids.

 

[landcruisnman]

Got the mirrors on and the small socket head screw worked. Baby steps. Need to get her ready for the gathering that I’m hosting. We’ve got an RTI ramp and I need to show these peeps what pigs can do!!!

Dynamat inside the doors and rear quarter, even the tailgate, makes quite a bit of difference.

Yes. I am putting it everywhere

 

[landcruisnman]

Decided to put front carpet and seats in and DRIVE it around for a bit. Did about 5 miles. Tons of looks… holy crap. Every jeep I pulled up next to the driver just looked nervous

 

[bobm]

Love it it. Jeeps should be Nervous
