    Hey guys just updating my thread with my latest Jeep! I've been keeping up with all the activity on here I still read just about every thread and still interact with XK/WK people on my jeep page and you tube. Anyway I wanted to get back to jeeping again so after a couple of months of looking and almost a 3hr drive I finally found one. 1989 YJ with the inline 6 3seep auto not thrilled about that one. It has 4" lift on 33x12.5x15. It's a pretty clean Jeep of its age and nobody gives me weird looks when I take the doors off LOL




    The wife even jumped in and helped with cleaning it up!


    As you can see for a 25 year Jeep its still pretty clean and it passed inspection too.


    Anyway thats about I do have build plan of course LOL but I'm starting will all the OEM parts first. Going to make it a really nice dependable DD then move onto the rock crawling mods.

    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.
