Re: New Respect for My 95 YJ
 

I'd just by the parts and rebuild it in the garage over a couple of
weekends. All that you describe as damaged can be easily acquired through
such companies as Four Wheel Drive Hardware Inc. I would also ask the judge
to sentence the kid to community service to you and have him do the work
under your supervision.

LOL!!!! I love my YJ! Great story! I want to get rid of my bumperettes
and install an Anvil bumper with tow hooks. I wonder if the hooks will
bounce and be noisey? :)

I have to file a civil suit with the District Justice. Probably won't
be heard until Feb '06 and then I'll find out that he can't pay and
he'll go to jail but that won't help me. At any rate he'll have a
judgment against him that will follow him until he satisfies it.
