Good recovery!
I kind of figured is saw “job site” and knew where that was going!
it’s just temporary, can’t see it from my house, and good enough for who it’s for.... in reserve if this all goes south!:CWL:
Before you go get any sheet goods... sight down gate with the cable stops, to the the 2x6... that should be 5-1-/2” actual. I think the tailgate and wheel arch need (2) 2x4 or 7” actual to line up.
not sureif it lines up without a board on the wheel arch...
In mine, I know it lines up to...
I installed weather techs on my jt Willys (see thread) and they look and work good.
In my opinion, these would not cover 3” outside the fender. They aren’t As big but that can be good in that they don’t stick out/ look bad....
They do a very good job on the mud terrains that come on the willys.
As bad as the mpg might be, don’t forget to include the price of tires, and it’s only the difference in mpg loss that calculates.... so depending on how much you drive/difference = cost of new lighter tires...

I’m a few years younger but exactly!!!
My first car/truck was an 1989 s10, 2.5 manual. Loved that truck, it did everything I needed, worked through college in construction, used it to move every other semester.... I put bigger rims and tires on it then too, coopers to be exact. Fast...
I’d avoid drawing attention as in, visible abnormal countermeasures like a boot might make someone think there is something valuable thus worth stealing.
i do like your disconnect And hood locks, i would add some situational things, Parking to the front where there are lots of people coming and...
I wouldn’t call myself a “collector” because I/we play with them. I rarely pass up a Jeep “matchbox” (using the term generically) if I see one.
we have a few of the maisato (sp?) 1:18 (i think)
I collored in the grill on the red hot wheels
I ran into this installing my folding cover... I have spare bolts, so i matched up the size... I was able to start them by hand at least far enough not to cross thread... then Ran them in/out a few times with my cordless impact.... then proceeded to install the kit / bolts.
mine was...
I have a copper brown jku, didnt like the color at first (traded a minivan, didnt care what color it was.... it wasn’t a minivan)
It reminds me of nacho in that it needs the fenders and top to be black. I really like the color now, but when I see a Sahara with body color tops and fenders I...
Looks good!
I’m trying to figure out the LED too.
seems there’s a lot of 7” lights from the jk being sold with trim/fillers and some 9” (correct size) but the 9” all have the halo or a built in daylight running light which I’m not opposed to, other than it requires rewiring or a fuse tap...
As above but I’ll add this...
I have the halogen front, led rear Willys: and I think I had to manually turn on the fog lights, in auto, then leave them “on” and they will turn on/off with the auto headlights.
I think I’m saying the same thing....
I had them in my jku and like them... the family missed them enough that they all asked me to get a set (and I did).
I’m tall enough not to need it to get in but I do use them it’s a good additional spot to hang on, rest your arm...
On the jt they hang lower (factory style/quadratec) I thought...
for the willys trim, I installed weathertech 110097-120113 front and rear mud flap set, and the fit, account for the rock rail, holes all line up.
I posted under another thread but if you are wondering if they fit because the website doesn’t have a willys gladiator option... happy to report...
Issue resolved:
weathertech fit willys, with the factory rock rails: received and successfully installed as of 1/6/21:
“front And rear kit: 110097-120113”
these are the hard plastic, look and feel like the same black plastic as the fender....
Ive not had them long enough to review them...
