That grille looked easy enough to repair.

My Buds choice, he may well repair it & sell it to get his money back?

Wow I'm old, lasted bout 2 hours, 1st 4 bolts were nice & easy right up top, after that every bolt was a battle, got 1/2 my tools out there already, Got bout 10 more out & started on 3 that will probably take an hour! no room to spin the wrenches, got those at least broken free & my arms had had it, so I did some easy work removing the headlights.
Dang why did I volunteer for this!!!

Dang why did I volunteer for this!!!

For the same reason that we volunteer to do our own work, "because we know how"

So I get my butt up early to try & work on the jeep a bit, got out there at 8:30, usually about the time of my second dream.
Well by 9 I'm already soaking in my own sweat! got the rest of the bolts out & scanned the harness that goes across the top, got a few of the clips loose & hit the showers!
I think the headlight mounts have to come out to snake it back through???
Might be sept. before I do any more work.
Did I mention I hate the heat!

The portable a/c I recently got has been a game changer for me. The dehumidifier function keeps the garage pretty much like a climate controlled space. It also has a heater function, so I'm hoping it'll also be just as useful in the winter. It was around $500 from Walmart.

I have a heat pump in the garage, too bad the jeep is under the tent behind the garage!
The 'Cuda's comfie though!
