Bump for a nice rig. If I would have got my financing faster than you it would be sitting in my driveway now and you wouldn't have to worry about storing it, lol.

Yesterday my son and I replaced the rad in the ZJ. Have to call CVO tomorrow and arrange a visit to get my front D-shaft installed.

A hand pump? Did you buy this Jeep in Springhill? Cindy's was a Sport model I do believe.

Just remember when you hang it make sure that its away from sunlight. The UV rays will damage the paper by yellowing it and drying it out. It will also fade the ink.

Pretty cool. I've seen a pic of it embroidered on a ballcap.

In 97 they changed the body style to a more "rounded" look and the interior was upgraded. The drive train and engine are pretty much the same if not exactly with one exception that I know of. Sometime between 97 & 01 they went from cap & rotor to electronic ignition. .

Put a dent in my front driver's fender from a small tree and cracked the blinker. I think I also damaged the new u-joint its singing back at the birds as I drive by, lol.

I have the Cobra 17ST portable and so far its pretty good. Got it for $50 on Kijiji and it came with a hand mic and 12v power cord. You can use and charge it with NiCad batteries (9) but you have to use a separate cord as the charge & power plugs are different sizes.

Saw an 18 wheeler on the Circ the other day with a stuck caliper. The smoke coming from one of the rear wheels was bad and what a stink. The guy never even slowed down, I passed him as to not get chunks of brake parts in my grill. Happened in Quebec to me, a backing plate from someones pad broke free and hit our rental. Didn't notice it until stopped for gas outside Montreal and Donna said there is a Ninja Star in the bumper. I look and there it is a 2" long piece of backing plate. Looked like a small throwing knife and somewhat sharp on the edges. Would have been worse if it went in the windshield.

They are chrome nipples. Hood attaches with the clips through the hood like the old school racers. They did not have nipples. Thanks Len, I thought thats what they might have been. scroll down a bit edit - bah! bad link. image search desert rats. WW2 North Africa paint scheme's used olive and sand combo's. That's what I was thinking when I saw it, WWII camo colours, lol.

How does your hood attach to the fenders? I see some nuts where the stock latches are and what are the silver looking things on the front edge of the hood? Are those the new latches, kind of look like the ones they have on carbon fiber hoods for hot rods?

Had the guys at CVO replace the axle u-joints and a u-joint in the front drive shaft. The handling is so much better now. I can get up to 110 km and not feel like I'm going to shake apart, lol.
