Plops YJ Project an on-going proceedure

and I doubt the sterling is going in this. I will probably do that in the Ranger I got, just to be a dick and out do my brother again (Sluginxlt)

Mostly because I want to be able to daily drive the Jeep and the rear shaft angle would be horrible without a stretch.

Thanks.

Well today I:

Pulled the dash, steering column, and 99% of the wiring, some heater components, the hood, and the grille. And I cut the old roll bar for the main hoop. I am gonna fab something up so I can use it right behind the windshield to make a cage.

Well I think I am going a different route on this now.

I am just takig the fenders, hood, windshield frame, lift, brake & fuel lines, then possibly the axles if they heve better gears. Then sell what ever is left of the red one.


Today I finally put on some full doors that I recently got, now that I dont have a hard top anymore.

[Plop]

Not really an update, but I am still unsure which route I am going, we'll find out soon
That is what I have to work with. I have new motor mounts that I have to put on; then if I ever feel like it, I will start the swap. Other than that, I put the red hood on the running jeep and got full doors.

Today was slow, but I did some stuff. I ordered the new steering reservoir, so I will be getting that tomorrow morning. What is left; the t-case drop, the brake line to the back, and all of the fluids.

some pics.

I got the power steering reservoir today and lucky me, it was wrong. So tomorrow I am going to the dealership to get one from there. So the only thing I have to do is bleed the brakes and put on the reservoir.

[Plop]

Done-ish
I finished up today, and tomorrow after work I am gonna get an alignment because it just wasn't working out for me.

Well, I did manage to paint my tailgate to match the jeep and patched the rust hole in the back corner and made a tire carrier for my spare. I have some new 32x11.50 old style MT/R's on some new D-Windows.

Well for one, I need a new body because the one I have isn't holding up and it isn't worth doing again. And I need to clean up the frame kind of a lot. I am now considering a spring over with the 4" leaf I have on there already with some bigger axles. The jeep is just too small now 

[Plop]

Well I think I have a hook up on a tub, I have three to choose from, from some guy. So if that goes through, it looks like I will be spending a bit of time to prep it and get it all painted up.
