Got something stolen tonight

You'll never guess what someone stole tonight!!! My friggin doors! :fire:











































Just kidding It was a complete PITA to get the passenger side door off. I pulled off the kicker panels on both sides, but on the passenger side, the computer was there. I tried for about 30 minutes to get the connectors off without having to take out the computer but that didn't happen. Turned out it only took me about 4 minutes to remove the computer and then disconnect the two connectors. I'm gonna probably buy some connectors tomorrow that I can mount on the outside of the body (or right inside the door panel) so they can come off much quicker. I will probably cut the flanges for my tube doors (making them so I can bolt them up like the stock door), then I just need to have my friend bend some tubing and figure out a latch for them. It's fun riding around with no doors....and I get more attention than I did before.

Ben, please send $1500 to my paypal. That way I can buy the tools to do my own regear, an ARB, and the gears. Thanks and I'll see you at Crozet.

All you gotta do is head to harbor freight! $200 dollars later youll have your tools!

EDIT: While you're at it, send another 2k so that I can go 35 spline in the rear and get my hi-steer. Muchos gracias

Just for future refferance, how much were the latches? I saw someone on a Cherokee use these on the tube doors

The Jeeper I talked to said they were 50 bucks, but my price from work is only about 25

Yeah you're right. The thing is though, I like my tools to last a little bit longer than 3 times using it. I'll be buying all Craftsman and Snap-On tools whenever I think I'm ready to regear...I mean whenever my wallet thinks I'm ready to regear the front.

All you really need is a press. My Grandpa rebuilt gear boxs for rock crushers on a a harbor freight press. Ive done about 10 regears on it and so far it works fine. Kinda hard to break a press. lol. After that all you need is a gauge to check your back lash. That you may wanna buy at Sears though. I used a harbor frieght gauge and it works fine, but nothing like a craftsman.

That's cool. I was reading the article on pirate (the one that is SEVERAL pages long) on regearing axles, and it has a whole tool list. I have a lot of tools, but there are a lot of things that I've been needing to buy still that are just common tools most people would have.

Kinda hard to break a press. lol.

Actually, we bent the steel tube on my friend's press (the one in the center that actually presses everything in) when we were pressing in my rear wheel studs. We've also ripped the threads off the top of it where the plate for the jack sits. When I get one I want something that won't break so easily.
