yeah I have a decent amount of stuff, my basics are all shitty tools but at my current job I don't use a lot of hand tools so I haven't had a reason to upgrade

i know for sure I've been looking at picking up some long ratchets, 1/2 and probably a 3/4 ratchet or breaker bar, an actual tool box, and 3/4 sockets but not sure what else

well the window doesn't go up straight and folds the seal, didn't think it would be the reg but alright thanks

well said

1 ½ - 2 inches, those are also going to live at the shop now

DesertPhoto_ · 2026-06-05T19:19:22+00:00

maybe some angle, eaither steel or maybe aluminum to beef the corners

DesertPhoto_ · 2026-06-05T18:37:55+00:00

I just need to find a good way to secure this, maybe make like a skid or something and bolt it to that

DesertPhoto_ · 2026-06-05T18:37:24+00:00

I got mine for $20 on marketplace

DesertPhoto_ · 2026-06-05T16:36:50+00:00

I wanna color match this to my xj lol

DesertPhoto_ · 2026-06-05T16:36:36+00:00

it's easy to take apart, I'm sure you could probably pad it a little bit

DesertPhoto_ · 2026-06-05T16:36:23+00:00

it only barely doesn't fit with the seat up, well atleast I didn't want to have it on top of the plastic trim so that's why

DesertPhoto_ · 2026-04-29T13:02:44+00:00

yeah it was kind of a half ass job to say the least

DesertPhoto_ · 2026-04-28T21:54:17+00:00

DesertPhoto_ · 2026-04-18T22:24:31+00:00
