Did you sell one this weekend? Any regrets yet? I'm thinking of selling one

**certifiablejeep** · 08-03-2009, 05:36 AM

Didn't sell one, but I did finish one up for a customer.
Basically it left this weekend... and then I didn't have a Jeep to work on, so I had to hang the border in the babies room... not quite the same thing.

Yeah, I've got to figure that sway bar out, at the time, beer logic indicated that was the only way it would fit.

just take it back off, and flip it around left-to-right. if it's stock, you'll need longer ends to put it back in the 'correct' pre-lift condition.

Please note the tailgate carpet piece does not match perfectly, I had to have it made since Nifty hates me... It will work ok.

Do you guys know the specs for an AGR gear box to a Chevy power steering pump? I guess i need to have a supply and return cable made. Any tips would be appreciated.

Your build looks really nice! Thanks for posting the nice pictures of a beautiful project!

I installed a new chevy 350 with new power steering pump and was able to reuse the original suply and return lines (on a stock cj power steering box)

Absolutely beautiful! Gotta be one of the nicest engine bays I've seen. After seeing the pics of the wiring harness work, I guess it's time for me to open that box from Painless and get started on mine...
