Yes it should be. There are moving parts in it and should be greased. I wouldn't load it down like a bearing but yes it should be lubed. The one in my 91 (The one falling apart) was very dry in comparison to the one in the my 95 (The one in the video. The good one). I wouldn't use anything harsh on plastic though. Those are the parts that fail. No need to speed up the process with a lube that will cause plastic to become brittle.

I have one of those really short really floppy rubber ones (roughly a foot tall). Love it. No issues at all with hitting it while wheeling or reception. I just unscrewed my old antenna mast off the stock base and screwed the floppy rubber on on. Don't get much easier than that. However you have a retractable one and I didn't. You can see it in this picture. I forgot where I bought it. One of the local auto parts stores has them. I'd try whatever ones are in your area if you want one.

It's big though (78" tall x 96" long x 24" deep) and believe it or not I don't have nearly enough of those storage bins. Once you start organizing your small parts you realize how many of those you really need. I'm not even close to what I need.

To get to this point I spent somewhere around $300 but that includes every little detail including consumables, gas, and material I already had laying around left over from other projects. The only thing it doesn't include is the metal pegboard because I don't know how much that would be.

lol thanks

Thank you. About 5 days but I wasn't in a big rush or anything. If I was to do it again and really tried to get it done fast I could have had it wrapped up in 2 or 3 days max.

I had a problem with tearing rubber boots too. Plus I just hated them in general. I finally said fskc it and went out and got a vasectomy. That solved all my boot problems.

lol had to do that a couple times.

No problem. I knew this one out of all the videos would be helpful. I had a number of those plastic parts broken on my 91 too. I changed out the entire system the other day in the driver's door. Need to do the other doors now. But at least I can finally lock my doors lol.

There is always more than one way to skin a cat.

Thank you and you're welcome.

Subscribed. Now don't leave us hanging! lol

How many cans did you use? Did you use the same color on everything?

Thank you

Thanks. I hope it helps a few of you guys. There will be more to come.

Just saw this thread. Good job spending the time and money to bring your rig back to life. Looking good.
