I made the mistake of trying to use Xylol to wash some half dried herculiner off my arms, NEVER do that. It sucks, and I had to put cold paper towels on my arms for a while. I don't have sensitive skin at all, but that stuff hurts!




Today I started cutting up TJ flares that I got for $40 to put on my XJ. Tomorrow I'm gonna finish, and then maybe work on my roof rack tire carrier thing if I go get a chop saw.

lol, I got herculiner on my arms also. I just left it on it took 1 or 2 weeks for it to be gone. First I tried to use Acetone though ( a small amount and it just absorbed into my skin so i figured that wouldnt work)


Today I cleaned out both the rear drum brakes for the first time and cleaned up the drums and anti seized certain spots.

replaced the stock front brake hoses with ones for a '95 YJ to get some extra length for when I disconnect the front sway bar. Also put a cargo net from a mid 90's ext. cab ranger on my front door to give me some extra storage.

Nothing lately. I've been saving every dollar I can so I can finally move out on my own.

Installed 1" spacer up front to level off the rough country lift. Its about 8"-9" taller than stock with the 31" tires on it. Took off the rear fender flares, cut and tucked the fenders. Waiting for it to stop raining so I can bed line it all and install my adjustable control arms track bars and transfer case drop.

took it offroad with my brother. I finally got it flexed out and I can see what needs to be cut and trimmed. This week I'll be rolling and pulling the fenders and cutting the back bumper a bit.





So much fun...
