Thinking about getting good high tensile bolts and nuts to replace them with (rather than stock ones from the dealer). Do you happen to know what size. I think I have read somewhere they are 14mm x 100mm. Can you confirm?

No, I don't remember the size. I have had two different brands of control arms under the Little Jeep and they required different size bolts, so even if I could remember, it doesn't mean you need the same size bolt. Sorry.

No problem. I'll measure the inner dia of the Rokmen bushing and get new nuts and bolts tomorrow.

Changed rear o2 sensor
had to drop the entire belly pan to get it loose and out. Then found out the bolts for the transfer case drop were rusted half way through and replaced them... So maybe a good thing the o2 was stuck... Moved the mirrors, put down the soft top and put on the soft doors... now if only it would get above 50... It's officially spring after all... Next put my backup floods on...

Found a hardtop on CL for it for $100. The only problem was that the defroster didnt work. Emailed them 3 hours after they posted it and it had already been sold

Just finished spraylining the front grill. Started last night, now just waiting for it to dry. Will post pics later when it's finished. Messed up one little spot with the sprayliner, but overall it doesn't look too bad for a SUPER newbie with a shaky hand!

Keep looking. I got mine completely free with tinted windows and working rear wiper/ defroster. Just traded for the soft top.
