Did you get the seals from a junkyard or did you order them new from somewhere?

i got them from a junkyard. figured it would be a lot cheaper. while and after i was pulling them, i checked over them for any major wear or cuts in them just to make sure. all of the ones i was finding were in great shape.

yeah i got mine from a swap meet. they are actually pontiac GTX hood vents which are pretty much the same thing as the GTP like jeepcomj said just longer.

if you go and try buying some JpUseR96 just dont get con-ed into spending to much. I paid $15 for mine but I commonly see them go for $50 which isnt bad. Just dont get stuck paying much more then that. Some joker was trying to sell a set on jeepforum for like $200 plus shipping which is just a pure JOKE!

Did the door seals make it any quieter? I think I am going do this door seal upgrade.

Well traded a Ford 8.8 axle I picked up for an XJ D44. Didn't get any pictures because I had to get back up to school. Ill get pictures once I start tearing it down to repaint and get disc brakes on it.
