    Got it fixed, sorta.

    With liberal use of a prybar and sledgehammer, I was able to get my top and door on. It is now ready for the Winter. It doesn't actually seal that well, but I think it will keep out 95% of the water. I'll just keep the drain plugs pulled 😁

    Now I have to jump-start it and see if the battery will hold a charge.

    Lots of very big rocks. This one in particular always does a job on my passenger side...

    That did a job on my passenger side just looking at it.

    Yes, that's Outer Limits from my third trip down to the Hammers. I actually almost made that line that year. Had to winch the last couple of feet If I remember correctly.

    It's not winning any beauty contests, but it will definitely take me wherever I want to go.

    OMG, I totally forgot about that thread. Just read the whole thing through again. That was a ton of fun. We should sticky that thread here at Posse and bump it every year. In fact I think I'll go back later and bump it if I can find my old login info. 🍺

    I had to read the whole thing too. I debated signing up under a new name and bumping the post to ask how everyone one was doing with their lifts. 😁

    That would be awesome. Ask all the original posters who is still driving the same Jeep with the same lift, that will speak volumes as to who was happiest with their choice 😁
