The build of Ruthless

Well finally got Ruth doorless for the first time! So weird seeing the doors off. Got a pair of cheap round mirrors from quadratec. They were only $25. Not thrilled whith how they look but they work so whatever. Also got the new to me LOD sliders installed! More beat up than I thought they were but it’s all good. Gonna get some replacement panels and bolts from lod if I can.

Also got a phone mount. Super happy with it so far. Nice and sturdy and now gives me a place to put my phone when the cup holders are full.

Don’t believe it’s been almost a year since I posted in this thread.

no real updates. As you seen in my soft top separation thread my factory top basically fell apart out of no where. So I quickly searched FB marketplace and found a brand new in the box factory twill top. Got it for only $1000!IMG_0088.jpeg
All the foam still packed in tight

Nice!! Glad you found a new top!
 
So I caved and got a pair of door hangers from Quadratec. Got their quadratop door hanger system. Super simple install. I have carpet in my basement but I wanted to just make it look “cleaner” when the doors were off. Also hung up some stuff I have had collecting for a while now. Especially needed to hang up the Cosgrove sign Andy had made for me years ago.

Pietros is the best. They have one of the best espresso martinis around as well.

Let me know next time you’re in town. I live down next to the university
 
Little update

Ruth is at the body shop for this coming week. Lots of corrosion all over. Big spots on the hood as well as plenty on the doors and hinges. Bad enough that the paint has chipped off in spots.

Also a month ago or so now we got a brand new 24 grand Cherokee for the wife. I tried to convince her into another wrangler but we needed a “practical” car for traveling 🙄😂 got a great deal on it. Was almost 55k but after rebates it was down to 39k!! Also Morgan raped them on our trade in of our gmc terrain which helped lol
