Welcome back Sir, glad to see you have got another jeep. Can not wait to see what you do with this one.

(Happy Jeep)
Put a bit of work into the YJ over the past couple weeks. First thing I tackled were the brakes with new master cylinder, brake booster, brake switch, front calipers and pads. I still need to put new pads on the rear and I have a new power steering pump sitting on the floor waiting for an ambitious day. I also removed and fixed the carb and put it back on correctly LOL. Then on to making it look a little better.
Sanded and repainted both bumpers and replaced all the hardware with new grade 5 stuff.
Front bumper.
Pulled the battery tray out and cut it up to fit this monster under the hood.
Pulled the hood hinges and painted them with new hardware and did the center of the hood.
Then did the windshield hinges and door hinges.
Then after much testing I realized why nothing would stick to my fender flares, because its rubber LOL a couple of cans of plasti dip solved that problem.
I think that's it for now, I might have forgotten something. I'll be order new mounts soon for the motor, tranny and transfer case.
Bet it feels nice working on a Jeep again!! Looking forward to progress with this one

Gotta get some nicer shoes on her Sal!
Their on the list but I have no out of town plans with it yet. I have a couple of issues to button up before I can wheel it. I'm still hoping to make it URE this season at some point if everything goes well. I entered a welding program at my local college. I figured if I'm going to rebuild a 25 year old jeep I better learn how to weld properly. The cool thing is we can make anything we want on their equipment as long as we buy the material. They have everything in that place! We can even bend pipe for roll cages and stuff. I already have one semester done. I never knew how much I got wrong when welding (trying to weld) before.
Updating my garage. I visited the interior shop on Friday. I took home the swatches and decided to go Brown (mahogany).
