Good week for parts!
Been a busy week on the parts end of things. Got the new steering wheel and adapter. All new knobs and misc. parts for the climate controls including lighted indicators. Picked up a new firewall seal for when the steering column shows up (supposed to be first week of January). And the small Autometer gauges that go to the right of the Speedo on the dash, factory replacement size.
Then there's the bag O' plugs. The floor was liner coated and all the plugs removed. I will have to strip and clean the coating off and re-coat with better stuff, then pop in the plugs.
Got a 4" Explorer ProComp lift including pitman arm, extended brake lines and shocks for just over $600 with a Black Friday deal. I'm very happy with that. Rubicon Express wouldn't budge on their prices and they wanted over $1300 without shocks.
The only thing is that the box kit is two days behind the springs so I won't see that til' Friday. Not a big problem since I can't install until the weekend anyhow. Wheels are already at Discount tire, tires should be in by Friday. I'm hoping it will all come together this weekend. If the tires don't show up until Monday, I'm stuck until the following weekend. A Daystar 1" body lift is on the way too, but that for sure will not be here until next week. Coming direct from Daystar and they are finishing up building a run of kits by the end of the week. Otherwise, they are out of stock at most places. No biggie, the tires should fit fine without it... for the street. I just need the extra room for light off roading purposes. I pretty much failed at keeping it to 33's. Saw a CJ in town on 35's and realized there was no way I was going to be satisfied with smaller. So, 35's it is.
I'll talk more about the tires and wheels when they come in.
