The building of Anvil II -- The Deuce

Put the Derlin hinge bushings on the doors. Straight forward, and easy installation. The doors are a little harder to latch. I think the bushings make them ride just a hair higher. They latch okay. You just have to give it a touch more effort.

I also put on a Rugged Ridge Full Eclipse sun shade. I hope it doesn't flap too much.

Did an oil change, too. I'm going to pick up the R-Pod trailer, this afternoon,

Nice I have those bushing laying in my garage for like a year now. I don't think I really need them yet but I must say it's getting harder and harder to take the doors off, So soon.

As far as the doors being harder to latch. I remember I when first got my jeep brand new of the lot with 18miles on it and I had to slam the doors to make them latch. I also had to tell my passengers to slam the doors hard for almost a year lol. Everybody always gave me a stupid look when I told them to do so. My point is that those bushings might work themselves in a little over time.

With a hard top on, you have to slam the doors. With a soft top, it's easier. Idk which you are running, but I've noticed that.

All cleaned up, mostly packed. Going to install the anti-sway bar, between rainstorms. Then 12 hours of work, tomorrow, and rolling out, Saturday morning.

Jeep pulls it fine, although I wish I still had a manual. I can mostly hold the gear I choose, with the bump shifter, but I hate how it will drop a gear if it gets a little too much skinny pedal.

I wouldn't recommend it. Very little storage in the 178, and it's practically brand new, and a bunch of stuff isn't working. It belongs to my wife's grandfather. We are looking at a Jayco Hummingbird 17RB Baja.

Wow, that's pretty nice :thumb:
