I greatly envy your jeep and how amazing it looks. I just recently got a 1998 and I hope to someday make it as nice as yours. I really like the headlight shield idea, I was wondering if you could tell me where you got the screen and what type of screws you used? I'm not very knowledgeable when it comes to hardware and such. Thanks!

Bush bar is mounted but the lights are not wired yet, I did get the harnesses and the fuses and relays I needed from the junkyard, just need the time (seems to be my biggest issue)
Hopefully this upcoming week I will get my lights wired up, my flowmaster on and my pinion seal/diff cover changed at school, but we will see!!!

Installed the Flowmaster today, spent half the time struggling with clearance issues caused by my gas tank skid, I get it all straightened out and welded on, set it on the ground and now it's rubbing my leaf springs, so it's gonna need a little more adjusting.
My teacher welded it since I'm still working on my welding and didn't want to blow a hole through it

Girlfriend backed into my jeep two nights ago, causing more damage to my already ****ed bumper and header panel, now my header panel is into my hood, any idea on how to fix it or what could be causing it?
Also, finally wired up my trail lights to my factory fog light switch!
That's been about it, sorry things have been slow.

Did some more fabrication on the rack, got the gutter mounts made up, just need to figure out the gutter clamps and then my rack will be mountable, after that I will get the upper hoop bent and weld it on and paint

Should be giving the jeep some much needed love this week with an oil change and a new second O2 sensor, and hopefully next week I'll do my pinion seal and new poison spider diff cover

Well, the last two days have been really productive. O2 sensor is in, oil is changed, and the new diff cover is on along with a new pinion seal, wasn't too difficult, I over tighten the pinion nut a bit, bringing the resistance to spin the yoke from 36 inch LBS to 55 inch LBS, hopefully I won't end up to roaching my pinion bearing. Only time will tell, but for now all is good

Should be ordering some sliders soon, also working on getting a set of upgraded injectors, and some other goodies, not exactly sure which direction I'm gonna head with the rest tho... Stay tuned 👍

Slow day, fixed a leak in my sun visor, larger self tapping screw and more silicone, also heard some thing rubbing against my rear driveshaft last night, turned out to be the heat wrap from around the wires on my second O2 sensor, so adjusted that and zip tied the extra wires out of the way
