Any Jeepers in here?

Are you strictly wanting a wrangler? or are you open to cherokees as well?

Just Wranglers as of right now.

Anybody have a really cheap driver side window regulator? My window dropped, I'm short on cash and it freezing outside.

Alright, ponied up the cash to get an upgraded window regulator made of metal parts(the area that breaks easily). It was an easy install thanks to dad for holding the glass while I unbolt it from the old track and bolt the new track in.

Which reminds me, anybody know an affordable locksmith around bloomington, Columbus, or nashville area? I need driver's side lock cylinder re-keyed to my ignition key so I can lock my door....also, I will be picking up my new front bumper in the next two week in New Albany, IN so maybe a mini INGO jeeper meet?

 

[Caleb]

Also to add, I found in my driver's door the smallest speaker I've ever seen mounted in a car....maybe 2 and a half inch wide and mounted via one screw and two small zipties.

Now I know why you say the stock bumper sucks...

That'll buff right out.

This next week or week after, I'll be getting my new bumper...

So who thought a bumper was a legit tow point?

I always wonder why it wasn't, I got my answer now...

LOL.

Rusty's Tow Hook Kit - XJ

If you want a testimonial about these brackets, I was stuck this summer and I had TWO winches pulling on these brackets to get me up the ledge.

On a Wrangler, where is the best tow point?

Or, for the rear:

Unless you mount a real bumper or receiver hitch.

 

[lovemachine]

I need to do that. In the past, I have always used the D-Shackles hanging off my bumpers...

You have mounts for D-rings? I prefer those. I actually have stock-type hooks on the front, and D-rings on the rear. A strap cannot slip off of a ring.

 

[lovemachine]

The D-Shackles are attached to the mounts that came with the front and rear bumpers...

 

[lovemachine]

I HAD the stock hooks in the front, but I removed them in order to mount my winch to the winch plate.

 

[Caleb]

if I got the heavy duty bumper I'm gonna get, would I bolt on D ring mounts to the bumper, or do I need to have it attached to the frame?

 

[eldirector]

More of a pain to attach a strap, but much more secure.

You don't have a frame!

If the bumper is mounted well, then it should be a fine pull-point. If not, the brackets kludge posted would work very well.

The problem with the unibody Cherokee is that the force needs distributed a lot. Otherwise, you can just pull through the sheetmetal.
