This was a day of 2 steps forward 7 steps back, ended up getting a YJ header and removing the motor mount I made. Finally starting the reassembly though... Sent from my iPhone using Jeepz.com mobile app

Upgraded my stock radio, went with an Amazon special touchscreen unit that has fancy things like built in navigation, Bluetooth connectivity, etc...kit was actually plug and play and included everything I needed to install which was a nice surprise. I will add a backup camera and sub as this...

That I don’t know, I believe they weigh about what the inline six does, so probably couple hundred pounds more? Sent from my iPhone using Jeepz.com mobile app

Thank you Sent from my iPhone using Jeepz.com mobile app

While doing this I also addressed the shifters... Installed a B&M ax15 shifter which took forever to get as they are kind of almost unattainable right now. Then I installed the brackets for the Novak transfer case shifter (I need to bend the handle provided to the pattern piece but I need a...

Finally got back to the YJ for a bit. Since I have everything tore apart to do fuel injection and the exhaust is shot and has lots of unnecessary ports that won’t be used I thought I’d install an header. You can’t find many headers for the 4.2 in a YJ but you can find a ton of headers for the...

Thank you. The corner armor bolts to the tub using nutserts. Sent from my iPhone using Jeepz.com mobile app

I finally sorted my rear corner armor and fender flares out. I removed the Craigslist sourced narrow metal flares March 2021 when I sold the them with the fronts that I removed in June of 2020. I ordered some Smittybilt corner armor and some clearance priced Hammerhead flares from...

Yep still running the 4cyl. I plan to keep it going forward if I do a swap down the road I plan to use either a 5.2 or 5.9 from a dodge pickup. Sent from my iPhone using Jeepz.com mobile app

I did the diff covers front and rear over the summer complete with Lubelocker gaskets. Used Yukon diff covers front and rear, just never posted them. Sent from my iPhone using Jeepz.com mobile app

Enjoyed my heated shop and knocked out a few things on the JK today. I’ve had the JKS rear track bar for more than a year and finally installed it. Did some new rear bumpstops, and installed the 3rd brake light kit my wife got me for Christmas. Supposedly it was plug and play for 2007-2018 JK’s...

I like my tire carrier but I hate the rattle and noise it makes. I have messed around a bit with some delrin and turned up some threaded pieces to use as spacers that ride on the spare tire delete plate. They only last for a six or so months before they where down or the threads where out from...

Thank you, you get used to being yelled at after awhile. Sent from my iPhone using Jeepz.com mobile app

The Warn is the better winch for sure. I’m not knocking the Smittybilt, I’ve used quite a bit for yard work, recovered my buddy and recovered myself on a really long pull. It’s held up well aside from the free spool lever sticking, that freed up however. If you can afford the Warn go for it...

I picked up a used Bestop Trektop NX earlier this year. I have the space to store the hardtop for the summer and was happy to pick this top up. In full disclosure I paid $300 for it, I don’t know that I would pay retail ($1200+). If you’re considering this top here are some pros and cons I...

Thank you, it will be nice when it’s done. I will get the mechanicals wrapped up this year and spray-line it next year. I’m just running out of warm weather ugh Sent from my iPhone using Jeepz.com mobile app

Knocked out the valve cover and gasket on the YJ Sent from my iPhone using Jeepz.com mobile app

The stainless lines were pre-bent and already flared. The short lines I made myself and flared, it’s no big deal to make them. It just takes practice, plus I really like the nickel copper alloy line, it’s really easy to use and will never rust. Sent from my iPhone using Jeepz.com mobile app

That let me get it over to my new shop. Where I started by taking out the transmission to install the Advanced Adapters external slave bellhousing kit. Now I need a new flywheel so I can install the clutch and put everything back together so I can do exhaust and fuel injection. Sent...
