If you aren't able to make Jeff's Rubicon Run - and have some free time - feel free to stop by my house on Sunday and help me dissassemble my jeep!
I'll provide some lunch for those that show up, and I have sodas and beer as always. You don't need any tools and the work shouldn't take more than a few hours. I plan to remove my fenders, front bumper/winch, rear corners, door frames and top, and probably sliders if they come off easily. This should be pretty easy work.
Any help would be appreciated but I understand if everyone is busy, given my late notice.
I'll probably start working at 10AM or so.
Please PM me if you're interested!
Sunday work party - 7/21

huck271 Subscriberhuck271 SubscriberWhat color? Exterior or full resto?
BKGM Jeepers President Joined: June 2003BKGM Jeepers started this President Joined: June 2003I bought the jeep in black so I wouldn't need to repaint the interrior. Although my interrior is green, silver and black (from the factory that way).
All my door jams and interior door metal and tailgate metal and hood will be repainted.Kathleen and Brad

All the Mopar parts came in, but the decals were incorrect. The dealer located the correct decals and ordered them for me Monday. One is in, but the other is coming from back east and should be here by Friday.
Jeep should be done in less than a week. I may try to swing by on Friday and get some pictures.

BKGM Jeepers President Joined: June 2003BKGM Jeepers started this President Joined: June 2003I forgot to mention that the sliders weren't the most difficult thing to remove - it was the front bumper assembly. Once we figured it out, it came right off but it took two of us 30 minutes of playing with it until Josh stepped in, and it took the three of us another 15 minutes to solve the problem...
