I spent last evening trying to make any progress at all with the factory lug wrench...what a waste of time. PB blasted them all. Worked a little on front bumper disassembly...still trying to decide where to cut it but might wait til the new tires are on to see what will look best. This morning, bought a breaker and the right bit, lugs came off without a problem (must've been intimidated). Pounded the pinch welds, played with the cut plastic and a heat gun, painted the now flattened pinchers and decided again to wait for the new tires to see how I want to re-install the plastic. All this by 10:30am...the neighbors might have been complaining but I was ready to remind them about their loud music at night, barking dogs, mufflerless cars and any other annoying noises they make. After all, it was only a few hits with a 4lb hammer on some metal!

Oh, I also removed the old OEM rock rails...more rust on them than I expected. Was going to try testfitting the new ones but was running out of time. At least I thought I was. Sister in law decided at the last minute that she wasn't going to come dig up some plants I'm giving her. Know how some people always make big plans then bail at the last minute...that's her in a nutshell! I should've known!


Hope you guys are being more productive up at Mudds Garage!

That being said, it's like boinkin' your sister...just because you can, doesn't mean you should.

Ya! Body is preeettttttty rough with rust, but the mechanicals are well maintained, new transmission, new alternator, new battery. Only 153k on the clock, for these Cummins the way I hear, it's just getting broke in! It does need a new exhaust and 2 new front tires. Even after that tho', for $1000? It's actually the neighbors but I'm thinkin I'll pick it up from him.

Dang!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Just caught the neighbor as he was moving his truck. HE SOLD IT! I didn't jump fast enough! He does have another one (a '99) he's selling (he just got a new Ram) same basic shape with about 150k also put a trans in it 2yrs ago. It has the 5.7 Hemi in it and it too needs an exhaust, but this one needs 4 tires . He only wants $750 for it! Told him to take the For Sale sign off it!! Come Monday after a trip to the bank I will own another gas hog piece of junk!!!

Had company today well the garage

A very productive day at Mudd's garage Like Tom said, installed and took back off for painting, will hang them tomorrow.
The only thing I didn't like is a frame hole that lines up directly with the lower front left mounting bolt, so using a screw there just wont fly. BUT if ya look at the pics on JCR site(http://www.jcroffroad.com/Merchant2/mer ... _Code=KJSL) they have the rails installed with the front mounting plate up higher to clear that hole but doing that makes the rails, the main 3x2, not lay flat, which if ya look closely is obvious in the pic. When mounting the rails that way it causes the rail to have a slight slant to it and I wanted it to lay flat as it should, IMO. So I am going to use a small strip of steel to span that hole so that I can install a bolt there and have the rails lay flat as they should, IMO. All and all VERY happy with the way they look and are very beefy. Also a side note, it is a PAIN in the ars to work around the lower plastic piece that is on the 05-07 KJ's! Thank God Tom has a 90 degree drill that allowed me to drill the pinch weld holes from the inside, otherwise you would have to take off the lower plastic piece that goes under the doors and in between the fender flares in order to drill from the outside. That however is not unique to JCR, that would apply to any rail someone would want to install on an 05-07. So again very happy with them just a slight design change I feel that should be made so that the rails can lay flat
It was also great the meet Marlon and expand the folks I have met from LOST By the way Marlon, your KK looks even better in person than in pics

i came very clse to driving up also but i would not had any money to get back home man gas prices suck

Don't cry little buddy.......
Marlon had shocks for quite a while until we finally got them installed today.
I like these impromptu M&Gs ....in a way for smaller jobs I mean
Not many mornings I get a knock at the door while eating my oatmeal to find two guys saying we're pulling into your garage.
