Any news on the door seals?
I've used the summit ones on my wagoneer, which seal well but I have to slam it to get double latched.
The eBay ones have been working pretty well. Took a while to get he adjustment right. They close fairly easily on level ground, but need to be slammed when on uneven ground.
Most of your pics aren't there anymore
Which sucks for me cause I often look back thru your thread for inspiration and as a guide for putting mine back together.
Was wanting to ask how the summit column and fitech are working out?
Thanks
Owen

Yeah, sorry. Photobucket changed their policies and I'm not willing to shell out the outrage fee they want. I started putting I back together using Tapatalk, but it takes time.
The Summit column is working out fine. There's an occasional small, strange noise, but I'm not sure it's the column and not the steering box. I think the box needs a rebuild. Should have done that before I put it all back together.
Wow, I thought you had sold it a while ago. Bittersweet for sure. Thank you for all the excellent photos and explanations throughout this build. I learned a lot and pulled the trigger on a used set of wheels for my truck after you answered a backspacing question of mine a couple years ago. Funny thing is, without even realizing it, the wheels I bought ended up being the 5-lug version of your same wheels.

You took 3+ years and at least $1000 to create a magnificent specimen of Jeep truck-ery and then you sell it. Mine is a pauper beside that one, and I wouldn't sell it for twice the amount you put into the nicest refresh I've ever seen anywhere.
I'm TOTALLY impressed with the updating you chose, and the quality of the workmanship you used to do it.
Will the wagon match it?
