Since Napa closes at 5pm I headed over to Advanced and picked up the correct version. I'm guessing that whoever built the database behind Napa|Advanced|Autozone|etc. has these parts switched (manual vs auto).
O'reileys Auto Parts has the same listings. I looked at the pictures before they ordered the part so I did get the rigt one on the first try.

My buddy followed me up in his '99 WJ but couldn't follow me up the last switchback there were no tracks to follow. Good times!

rear passenger side window bushing fabrication and installation. Three hours of messing around with nylon disks. Shoulda been 30 minutes. Such is life.

Went to the junk yard today. There was a D1 w the engine pulled and disassembled just laying there. I scored a spare timing cover/oil pump and what look like new oil cooler lines. I'd like to rebuild the pump and clean it all up w new seals and sensors as a spare to replace during a headgasket job.
Got another fog light switch. Shock tower bolt rings, a bracket I need for the center console. And tons of metric bolts for the coffee can.

I had the rear prop shaft removed and a new one with the u-joint on both ends bolted up. I didn't have the puller nor did i have the equip to make one. I paid a mech $50 to put it on, he had a rough time taking the old flange off. No more vibe!!! She also feels faster.

I've preached about those tires a lot. I love em.

I'm an idiot...cause I don't know what the Camel Cut is...I'm assuming it's for clearance?

*edit* Google is a good thing. Got it.
