Had a good junkyard trip. Got a spare steel wheel for my fullsize spare tire. Plan to paint it black to keep the rust away. I figured there was no reason to buy another aluminum wheel because if I bust one of these I will likely change styles...most likely to a steel wheel anyway.


Most importantly I got a skid plate. Its from a 98 Grand Cherokee (ZJ) with the uplander package. I've been told 50 different things about what I will need to modify to make it work. No one has a solid write-up. So I plan to do a good write-up on it as I do it. Also pictured are the Rubicon stocks. I will finish my shock conversion write up with them here as well. The first steps will be the same as those on the black set of shocks.


The other thing I needed was a door check. The bar that keeps the door from opening too far. It also has a stop to keep the door open. I was leaning on it the other week and busted it...





All in all a good trip. At least the rain stayed away. I also got a new clock for Anne's car...it quit on her.
