NAPA had no part number for the studs. Still looking.

Got the bumper off. Still fighting the !$&#~! Quarter panel. Must be a trick I am missing. I have taken 30 bolts out. Did I miss one?

I am going to try and run it for now. When I sell it you are first in line.

Thanks! 3/8-16 on both sides? Going to run a thread chaser to clean the threads.

Yep 3/8-16, use some good antiseize on those studs and you won't have trouble again.

I don't know if anyone else has experienced this, but my studs keep stretching. Is there any harm in replacing the studs with regular grade 8 bolts and lock washers?

I am guessing the front driveshaft has detonated at some point and wreaked havoc on the floor pan.
That would be the right answer. The facts are as follows, non standard 129 transfer case, all new wiring from firewall to back of vehicle, and huge bump in floor.

Just catching up here. So it has an Eagle tcase. If you do not have a 2 speed tcase lined up yet, please consider getting a 2XX before Ouray. 208 would be my recommendation. Someone in the AZ group may be able to help locate that and a rear drive shaft. Low range is preferred for Ouray. It is very easy to burn out your brakes coming down the mountain in high range. We almost lost a few people in 2006. I never want that to happen during an Invasion again if I can help it. Giterdun.

I have acquired a 208 and rear drive shaft here in Arizona. I still need to figure out the manual front lock outs.

Beautiful! Manual hubs are not required but handy sometimes.

What was the part number on that cat? I believe I'm going to need one ...

Not sure. Just bought the one that summit said worked on a V-8 single exhaust. Have not tested it yet.

I am pulling the water pump today. While doing that I found plenty of issues. Radiator looks great but the pump and other parts on the engine do not. Not sure what to do. Need to clean the block somehow. Also spotted quite a few leaks on the oil pan, oil press transmitter, and valve covers.

Thanks to the guys in the Denver, CO area, I went on a parts run and got some much needed parts. Nice guys and have some cool Jeeps. Thanks to CharlesKline, Derf, and Nikkormat for all the help and taking the time out of their schedules to help me on short notice.

Nice to meet you man. Hope those parts work for you.

You want my PayPal? Or is that cannister junk?

Nice project. I'm always jealous of SW region vehicles.
