actually mitch did as mch wrench turning as i did.

Thanks again Mitch!! Glad you made it home safely.

 

Those are from the jy? They look great still
Look nice good job bringing em back to life

 

That looks great
I installed my Aussie in my 8.25

 

How hard is it really? I want one but I'm leery that I can't handle it wit just hand tools.

Kicked it as I walked by it in the garage. Then apologized. Isn't its fault the t stat is junk an my radiator didn't here yet.

 

its super easy. takes less than an hour assuming you don't run into issues figuring out how the locker gets assembled.

 

I used wrenches, needle nose pliers, and a few small flat heads

 

Well this weekend I took off my factory bumpers, dry fitted my new ones, had the new bumpers and rack powder coated, installed them, washed it (for pictures which i'll post on my build tomorrow), went mudding for a first date and just when the mud was looking good on it it decided to rain. oh wow way too much fun

 

whaddya mean "", i'm not done w/ the fenders yet, calif. laws say the tire has to be covered, so i "fashioned" my own set of flatfenders by bending the bead out, instead of in, going to finish off w/ some 1" pond tubing to protect tires. i don't have the $$$ for new flares, and am looking into trimming the old ones. i'm also for functionality, & not necessarily on how "pretty" she is. still have to do final measure to see how far i opened the wheel well. remember: i'm running 31/10.5/15 bfg ko's w/ ~25% tread left on stock height w/ tj canyon rims (i forget the backspacing). besides, it'll all look better when i put my lift on........

today i started wiring in the old "K-D" fog lamps instead of finishing fenders, will finish both projects tomorrow.

 

Bought it somemore shiny stuff for the 4 link

 

Started on my roof rack build

 

took off the front clip.......

 

Thanks! Yeah, they are off of an 86 Wagoneer limited that had'nt been in the yard a day. I lucked out finding them, especially in that condition. Actually, the whole Jeep was in amazing shape, better than mine! I almost felt bad snatching parts off of it.

 

Nothing today, but man I hope it starts tomorrow. -29 and -47 windchill. RC schools have a 2hr late start. winter sucks!!!

 

I put gas in it AGAIN! lol you all know they suck gas..., but id rather drive my XJ than mamas Buick.
17 mpg vs her 32 mpg..,, am i crazy???

 

We all gotta come over and check out the farm you keep talking about....but I gotta get an engine that works first, hopefully within the next few days......
