What do you think? They served there time?

If you look carefully inside the side snubbers there was rubber packed in there to make it last longer but even those wore out.....hehe

Time to change.

Yup... I changed mine and hood rattle was gone.

Must be a past jeep owner! LOL just joking
 
See ya soon for parts you have ordered!

What a difference is all I can say , I did not realize the hood was sitting really low until those new rubber snubbers were in, even a rattle noise that didn't really bug me (but was there) is now gone....

Only snag was that darn center rubber block for the hood. Wow she was a rusted

Mess.... Lol need special persuasion to remove those bolts


This is the after pic....what a diffrence

Then I ask royy for the rubber piece that goes around the intake stack...

Lol, he says which one and I'm looking at him sideways not knowing what he meant....hehhe

Apparently there's a seal that goes around the pipe and there's also a seal that goes on the physical Hood itself....which I didn't have any hood seal.... so I grabbed both of those seals looks nice now

On a side note about that top Center rubber block that was a pain in the butt,

Apparently it bolts to a steel plate underneath and it was so froze ,the bolts ended up breaking, well after had to grind the head of the bolts....then Roy to the rescue he machine me a new plate and tapped it, so the rubber block had a nice new steel piece underneath


Having a machine shop REALLY makes some jobs sweet

Well I put new snub bolts in today, and while I was at it, I replaced the rubber hold down latch bolts, (I'm sure very original as well)

Lol, THOSE were touch n go for a bit, soooo corroded / tight

Roy mentioned to tighten th bolt a little as well to , crack the bolt loose and after back and forth action she slowly unbolted,

Lol after wiping the beads of sweat off my forehead , I put a lube on the inside threads,and then anti seized dipped the bolts when

I installed the new bolts,

Lol , anti seize is a saviour at times....haha


I also ordered/ got window switch bezels for the back doors from Roy yesterday and installed those today as well..... My old ones were garbage

Don't you just love fixing a bunch of little things. Sometimes i like more that one big one. I have a neighbor with a 98 wagon. Says it is knocking badly. And he has stopped driving it. He is going to bring it by in the next few weeks for me to look at. Maybe a possible motor swap!
