    AMC's thoughtlessness

    Wouldn't it have been easier on us if AMC had built the FSJ's with JB Weld and Bondo in the first place?

    Depends on what area of the country they'd be sent to

      Would have been nicer to to include the rust option package, then we could call it factory original and any removal would actually decrease value.

        OMG! Rod, truer words were never spoken. That was beautiful.

            AMC must have designed that duct tape though, as the cruise control box is usually on the floor.

              Said duct tape even has a part no, however they don't sell it anymore (at the dealerships...). I have heard rumors that you can get it elsewhere tho...

                I just wish they hadn't installed all those leaks at the factory.

                  Go buy a Scout II and then tell me you have a rust problem. The last parts rig I had when I took the top off the rear quarter panels fell off the truck and onto the ground.

                    You forgot duct tape and bailing wire.
